The Graduate

 

 

Today is the day about Sadie. I thought it fitting since her birthday is tomorrow.

Sadie is sooo shy. Every time we talked about her doing her part in her graduation (Itsy Bitsy Spider) she would curl up in a ball and start to pout. That is why I was so extra proud of her: She did it!! She needed help to get through it (even though she knew it when it was just us) but she actually stood in front of a LOT of people and did it without me!

I always laugh at the absolute opposite qualities in my kids: everything from the way they look right down to everything they love and yet they are still best buddies. Sadie is kind of a tomboy, actually. You'd never know it from looking at her though, would ya? She is a rock collector big time. There are rocks EVERYWHERE if she's been anywhere near it. In the garage, on the porch, all over in the car, and in my purse. She also loves bugs and worms. She will catch nearly anything and bring it in to me to find a jar. She loves to be outside but she also loves TV and she has a blanky that has to be with her when she is watching TV or when she is about to go to sleep. She has been worried that the blanket isn't going to be moving with us (I have been threatening her because it's the only time she sucks her thumb!). But I won't do that because it would be tramatic and I want them to love their house.

She loves to watch and work with her dad. He is her hero. She will sit and watch him work on the house and ask if she can help him. She also loves to look for deer and other animals with her dad. And deer tracks in our yard. Her daddy is wrapped around her finger, too.

Her new favorite thing is asparagus and she loves to go hunting for it and then she eats it raw right out of the field.

She is so special to us and we are lucky to have our little Sadie bug.
