For Safety Sake

I've decided to make this blog public and therefore feel it necessary to not use our names in posts. We'll see how this goes.

I wonder...

Where Bear comes up with these ideas. The other night we were driving to dinner and she was reminding Daddy of the fact that her baby "sister" was in my belly (in case he had forgotten) when all of a sudden she stops turns to me and says, "Momma, your belly's gonna crack!" Confused I asked her why was that going to happen. "Because the baby is in there!" She really is too funny.

On Friday she and I babysat a 4 month old for the day. That morning a friend of ours had taken bear to Jumping House for her weekly class and when they returned the baby was already at the house. The baby was very tired and having trouble getting to sleep. He was needless to say crying his little heart out when they walked in. Her eyes were huge as she quietly came into the house and spotted me with the upset baby. I bent down to give her a hug and she said, "Momma is my baby sister so so sad?" I assured her that it was in fact not her baby sister but baby B that we were watching for the day. Guess she thought he was the one we were going to keep! She enjoyed her time with him until he got mad again around her nap time. Then she told me that it was time for him to go home because he was too loud. Isn't she in for some fun.

Today we took Daddy to Cabella's because he has been wanting to go there since we moved here. It's a bit of a drive so Bear and I set aside time to take him today. He happily wandered the store for a few hours and believe it or not the only thing we left with was a fishing rod for Miss! She has been fishing all over the house and even in her wading pool ever since we got home.

Bear's baby sister...

No, we don' t actually know it is going to be a "sister" but Bear insists that her baby sister is in my belly. The other day Bear and I were at the bank and the teller asked her if she had any brothers or sisters. She turned to me, put her hand on my stomach and said, "My baby sister is in there." She kills me. Yesterday she and I were eating lunch and Bear tries to give me a grape. I told her I was finishing my lunch and didn't want a grape. She insisted! I still refused. She then looked me straight in the eye holding her grape and said, "Momma, my baby sister wants this grape and you need to give it to her. You have to put it in your belly!"
Now who can argue with that??

Things are busy around here as we prepare for the move to SC in late August and try desperately to get the house ready to put on the market in July! Agghhh!
I'll try to keep this better updated amid all the chaos.
