Name That Tune

This morning Sadie was singing at the top of her lungs,
"I work hard for my mommy. So hard for her, honey! I work hard for my mommy so you better treat me right!"

Breakfast is the Most Important Meal of the Day

Sadie came downstairs yesterday morning in an Indian head dress.
Bethanie and Brady were already busy eating breakfast so I asked Sadie what she wanted.
She looked at me like I was born yesterday and said,
"MOM! I am an Indian! Of course I will be eating fish for breakfast."

I Can Spell

Sadie was yelling for assistance yesterday. Sean went to see what the problem was. She was out of toilet paper. Sean was putting some on the roll when Sadie said,

"Dad, I know how to spell 'Out of toilet paper'"

"P-U"

I have no idea where she gets this stuff.

Kickin' Our Trash

Wanna lesson in humility? Come to our house and play against my 6 year old on our Wii fit! Bethanie has most of the high scores listed on the games. I am not just talking about 1st place, I am talking about 2nd, and 3rd, and 4th.... She has cleared the board on a few of the games.
So if anyone is interested in some good competition, head over to our house. Bethanie will show you how it's done!

What Not to Wear

Close friends and family are very aware of Sadie's issue with clothing. She is very particular. She does have sensitive skin, but she has gotten looney about it. She insists that dresses "itch her". She will wear skirts and shirts (sometimes), but she WILL NOT wear a dress.
She doesn't have much of a problem with clothes on any other day of the week. It is only on Sundays when we want her to look nice and we are in a hurry.
Sadie is also very fashion conscious. I have tried to appeal to her sense of fashion on many occasions. This doesn't work.
Today I found the cutest dresses online that I thought Bethanie and Sadie would love. Sadie took one look and said NO WAY!!
It just kills me... kills me.

Brady's First Haircut

Brady had his first haircut today! It was starting to hang down in to his eyes. I waited until after I got his one year pictures.
I sat him down on Jeff's lap and gave him some juice and a cracker. He did as well as could be expected.
I was surprised to find that his hair on top seems to be more curly than it was before the cut!

A Sigh Of Relief

Sadie is a good girl. She is very head strong and wants to do things her way, but she is a good girl. That being said, I am always a little bit nervous when people say, "Oh, I have to tell you what Sadie said!" Or what she did... either one.

Sean and I were a ltitle bit nervous about the parent/teacher conference at the preschool yesterday. Yes, I realize it is preschool. I wasn't nervous about being told that she is behind on her abc's. I wasn't nervous about her not knowing her colors. I wasn't even nervous about hearing that she hits the other kids. Sadie doesn't do stuff like that. Nope, she is much more crafty.

I breathed an audible sigh of relief when the two teachers told me that sometimes she doesn't want to do things, but she does do them. I was relieved when they said that she is respectful.
She does like to frequently mention that she doesn't care for circle time. A fact that I was aware of. But they said that she still will sit and listen like she is supposed to.

One conference down, at least 18 more years of them to go. :P
