We were really scared about leaving her overnight when we had Kinsley. We haven't really ever been away from her longer than a few hours and we were worried that she would feel betrayed by us when we saw her again.
Luckily she is the perfect personality to be a middle child and she accepted without much grief us leaving her with "Gamma" and "Ganpa" and "Arf Arf" in the middle of the night to go to the hospital.
AND she didn't even freak out on us or distance herself from us when we brought baby Kinsley home.
We love that she believes us no matter what. We can say, "Not right now, we will get it in a minute" or "Hold on and you can have your ice cream" or "After dinner we will go outside" and even though she is in tears and sad she can't do or have what she wants right away she always says, "Okay." We love that.
One thing that did change when baby came home was that Sadie's diapers became "Owie." And so we bought her an Elmo toilet seat and an Elmo stool to step up on. She loves "Elgo." She loves her seat. And she loved the idea of going potty on it, one day she will consistently... The first few days of having it she insisted on telling Elgo night, night. She kissed it. And one time she tried to be alone in the bathroom and when I went in to check on her she was standing on the stool, singing to Elmo seat cover.
Sadie is 21 months old as of the 9th of this month. She is rounding the corner to two and she is starting to show it.
She has never been super persistent on things she wants to do, she has never told us "no", or thrown a fit when something is not exactly how she is used to it being...until now. Now we are starting to see a little more of her character.
Today she hit Novalee for the first time out of frustration.. It was sad and funny at the same time. She immediately knew she did wrong and when Daddy told her no and put her on her first time out she puckered up her pouty lips and cried. There is just something cute about her crumpled little pout face.
I like to read week by week updates on what to expect at each age in development and temperament for the kids. Sadie's updates for a long time to come aren't very promising. We are to expect stubbornness, willfulness, tantrums, crying bouts and many more lovely things. Hopefully I don't lose sight of my sweet little Sadie during the months to come.
Yesterday coming home from church she was telling us her arm was owie. We were trying to discover how she got her owie. Finally I asked, "Did a baby in nursery hurt your arm and give you an owie?" Sadie looks over at me through slitted eyes and says, "Yeah." I said "Did you just tell your first lie?" Sadie replied, "Yeah." :) And so it begins...
Here are some Sadie pictures.
She has decided that crossing your arms in pictures is posing.
At Jared's baseball game. She is lovely.
I love how proper she is sitting on the couch. :)
Spaghetti night.
Dad didn't even want to mess with washing hands and just put her, plunk, into the sink, diaper and all.
Please stay sweet Sadie because we kind of love that about you.
