Thanks to Chellie, we got to see Sesame Street Live this morning. We surprised the kids by telling them last night and this morning Emily was ready to go! We had a lot of fun!!!! It so much fun to see your kids faces light up when they are excited. As soon as Elmo and Big Bird walked out they were mesmerized. It's not everyday you see your Sesame Street friends in person. Here are some pics we took.
Yesterday morning, while Cadon was still asleep, Emily and I prepared to watch her favorite show on PBS "Super Readers". Lori, the host for the morning shows, asked just before it was about to start if you had a good friend. Emily nodded yes. Lori then asked, "what is your good friends name?" Emily, in her excited voice, says Cadon John. My heart melted at the friendship the two of them have! Actually I expected a girl name to be said, but was so excited myself that his was the name she thought of as her good friend. I know Cadon feels the same because the last couple of weeks when we drop off Emily at school, Cadon asks "where SisSis doe (go)?" When I say she is at school he replies, "otay (okay", doe dit SisSis (go get SisSis). It is so fun to watch them play (sometimes fight) and know they love each other so much!!!! I pray they will always be close and have fun together.
It was a big day for Emily yesterday. We have talked about it, shopped for it, and now she has it and is in love. A BIG GIRL BED! She was so excited as Daddy unloaded it and put it together. She was even excited to go to bed last night (WOW). She told me "I love this big girl bed, it the best big girl bed ever!" For me it was bittersweet. I am so excited that she loved it and she looks so cute in it, but I am sad because it is another goodbye to my baby girl. She can't be a baby forever, and I don't want her to be. I want for her to grow up, be excited about life and what it has for her and most of all to love her God. She is such a blessing!
The pic above is actually from last year, but since we went to the same mountain, and dressed the same, I elected not to buy another one this year.
These were taken just outside our condo.
Tonight, as we were driving around in our car, Emily started singing the song from Veggie Tales "Madam Blueberry" "I'm so blue hoo hoo blue hoo hoo blue hoo hoo hoo, I'm so blue I don't know what to do." For those not up on their Veggie Tales, Madam Blueberry has envy issues and wants everything everyone else has. She is singing this song over her sadness for not having the things she wants. It is a great lesson on being content with what God has given you. Anyway, back to Emily singing. She sang this chorus around 5 times when I turned around and asked "Are you blue?" She looked right at me and said, "No, I am white." Randon and I looked at each other and just burst out in laughter. It never occured to me she was literally thinking about the color blue, I guess. She probably thought I was a crazy asking such a question! I think what amazed me more was how she identified herself white, when we have never discussed racial color before. She constantly amazes us and fills our lives with laughter! Anyone with a toddler knows what I mean!
That's right, Cadon has pnuemonia. I think I must have turned white and my eyes about pop out of my head when Dr. Stephens told me, because he explained he thought this was better than starting with chronic ear infections this year like we had last year. We got two shots to jump start treatment and he is already back to his playful self, except for the horrid cough, though we want the cough to break up the junk in his lungs. I must admit, it is scarey hearing pneumonia related to your 20 mo old. Please pray he continues to get well and that this will be our only problem this winter.
