L-M N-O

Ok, two in one day! That's just crazy right! Well of course I have all this free time & I just remember something especially cute (well at least to me) that Brie said the other day! She's almost 5 & has known her alphabet for a while now & she's also known how to write it as well. I taught her in all caps first & stalled on teaching the lower case letters. So she thinks her name should be all caps BRIE! Since she is now in preschool they want her to write it correctly with only capital B an the rest lowercase. This has become quite a chore (thanks to mommy!). So we've been practicing a lot! The other day on the way to Wichita she was writing out her alphabet one letter at a time & after each letter she would start say the alphabet all over again. So if she was on "G" she would write the "G" & then to figure out what came next she would start singing again starting at "A". Well she made it to M & said, "Mom how do you write elum?" It took me a minute to figure out what she was talking about, then I laughed (& got in trouble for laughing at her). I told her to say L-M slower because she was running them together. It was cute. Then she said, "Mom how do you write n-o (saying it fast)?" Once again I had to explain she was saying it too fast. I'm still not sure she got it, so we have added one more thing we need to work on!

Bigger & Better Things!

Well, I'm officially not an employee of Hamilton Hospital. I decided the minute I had to explain why my 4 year old & my 1 year old can't be expected to stay at home by themselves, that was it. So I'm done. I have mixed emotions about not being there. I'd like to think I made some friends but I can't say for sure. So now I'll just go back to being Mom's assistant & work 2 - 3 days a week & stay at home with my babies the rest of the time. My children are more important to me than any job ever could be & while I'm a little saddened at not doing what I feel I was called to do. Being a mommy is the biggest & most important job I have been called to do. (ok so the light just came on!!) They are only little once. And I want to be the one to take Brie to school & to pick her up from school. I want me to be the one who takes her to dance & picks her up from dance. I want to take my babies to day-care & pick them up. I don't want a sub to do it. That's my job. I'm hoping I will feel better after writing this. I hate the circumstances that came about as to why I will no longer be working at the hospital, I really did enjoy it. So when you say your prayers say a little one for me, please.

Hallelujah!

In case your not a uTube fanatic, there are some videos on there of the "Farting Preacher". They show excerpts of the preachers sermons & include obviously fake farting noises. However fake they are the placement of the farts is absolutely hilarious. Brie loves this certain video where the preacher is sitting at his desk doing his sermon & all of a sudden he farts, then raises his hands and says, "Oh Hallelujah!". This has to be the greatest moment for Brie. So she's been going around saying "Oh Hallelujah!" to certain things. She's been saying so much that the last few days I've noticed Brodie trying to say Hallelujah. Yesterday though he perfected it. We were at the Woodson football game & I was telling Josh that Brodie was jabbering more & was learning to say Hallelujah. To prove it, I told Brodie to say "Oh Hallelujah" & he said the cutest form of hallelujah that a 17 month old could possibly say. But i was thinking what 17 month old's first word (other than momma & daddy) is hallelujah! Just thought I'd share how my baby boy is progressing!
