Sadie's all drama...





I have some pictures of various things we have done in the last couple of weeks, so I thought I'd take the time to post them here. Sadie has basically been begging to go back to school. At dinner the other night, I told Phil that I was kind of ready to get back to a routine again. Sadie interjected "Yeah, I really want to go back to daycare and see all my friends." I guess "stay-at-home mom" is not a job in my future! Sadie's still a drama queen. (I hear all you readers snickering and saying "I wonder why...") She is constantly reciting lines from movies and talking to herself (the poor only child!) Since she's been banned from Hairspray, she's been watching Father of the Bride and does a great Steve Martin interpretation! Here's another funny story which perfectly illustrates her flair for the dramatic. A couple of weeks ago I had my yearly physical and she had to go with me. A nurse took her in another room while I actually had my "exam!" That weekend, she went to her dad's. I got a text from her father on Saturday morning reading "Sadie was upset last night. She told me she had a secret and she couldn't tell. I told her she could tell me anything. She told me that you were very sick and had been at the hospital. Are you alright? She was very emotional." OH GEEZ! I had to text him back and tell him that I had just been to my yearly appointment and that I would have a talk with her to clear things up. So funny... She continues to keep both Phil and me on our toes!

Sadie's potty mouth...


So, Sadie's been watching too much T.V. (particularly the movie, Hairspray.) Here's the evidence: I was reading her a very cute book about a principal who loved his school and students and teachers so much he made them come to school on Saturdays... and Sundays... and holidays... and all summer long. A little girl finally got up the courage to go to her principal and tell him what was on her mind. When I asked Sadie, "What do you think that little girl is going to say to her principal?" I expected her to say something like, "Maybe we shouldn't go to school everyday." Or "I miss my dog. And he waits for me at home everyday." Rather, she replied, "Um... Um... Maybe... 'Kiss my ask?'" I mean- she didn't get it quite right, but it was still hilarious. I was trying so hard not to laugh. And of course I told her that "Kiss my ask" was probably not something we should say to anyone, especially a principal!
