Overheard 4

Just overheard in the last 24 hours:

Macie fell asleep really early last night and decided it was time to get up and watch Dora at 5:30 am this morning.  I was up getting ready for work anyways.  When I was headed out the door, I gave her a kiss and a hug and said, "Bye Mace, I have to go to work now. I love you!"  Macie said, "I go to work with you?" "No," I replied, "I have to go to the hospital and take care of the patients."  She responded, "But (fake cough, fake cough)- I sick too!!"  I sure wish I could bring her with me!

Last night I was laying down by Ellie and she had her hand on my belly feeling the baby move. She said, "Mom, I just love our little baby so much, and I haven't even met him yet! But I am a little worried about one thing."  "What's that?" I asked. "I'm worried I won't want to go to first grade because I will just want to stay home and kiss him all day!"

Last night I was in the other room and Addie yelled, "Mom, you need to come here right now, or I start freaking out!" Thank goodness she warned me. :)

This morning I was doing my hair and Macie walked over and pulled up her shirt. "Look at my belly blubbon, Mom! It's cute, huh?" she said.

Last night I was doing some reading with Ellie and we were working on sight words.  The flashcard said "good", but Ellie sounded it out and said "goed".  "Ellie," I asked, "is goed a word?" trying to get her to think through it logically.  "Umm, yeah, like we just goed to the pet store."   Oh right. What was I thinking? :)

Ellie was saying the prayer last night, and for about five minutes offered an extensive list of things we are thankful for and things to bless.  She finally concluded the prayer by saying, "and please bless all the people that have died, and everyone in the city, and everything in the town.  In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."  I guess that covers it.

Macie can't say the "s" at the beginning of words.  Some of her words that have become part of our family vocabulary are "lurpee" (Slurpee), "poon" (spoon) and "prinklers" (sprinklers). 

I sure love these little girls.  They crack me up and melt my heart every single day. :)
