This is Sacha's new form of sassyfrass... We aren't sure where this is coming from or what phrase she's actually trying to repeat, but it's definitely intended to be backtalk.
Other phrases we have heard at and before age two and one-half include:
"I didn't do it on purpose."
"Don't worry about it."
Teague's playing in his Baby Einstein activity center, I'm cuddled up on the couch with a soft blanket, snow is falling from trees, the branches and everything around are sparkling white... I love winter.
Sacha is now potty trained and doing very well. She wakes up at night when she needs to go and she makes it through naps with no accidents! Her vocabulary is growing at a ridiculous rate. Everyday, we are dumbfounded by a new impressive phrase she's picked up and using in context.
Cody's working hard going from EPS to wrestling back to EPS... such a busy time right now. He just bought a new truck. This has made him quite happy; it's been a long time coming. It was awesome the day he picked it up - he wore a glow that whole day, grinning from ear to ear.
I am preparing to begin classes this week. Tuesday and Thursday nights. This should be a little tough to transition into. I've been getting used to more time with Sacha and Teague. We are also coming upon negotiations with the school district. This will be more complicated then usual due to the merging of the Graettinger and Terril districts. But, I am hopeful that we will do this peacefully and cooperatively.
Our district is also considering going 1:1 (laptops). This is an exciting time as we work hard to plan how to make this endeavor a success.
In terms of beautiful... it's all in how what you see.
That appears to be my MOTTO. HA... I'll get the hang of it - I promise. As you can see, posting daily wasn't one of my goals, or was it?
To date: I am four months from attaining my Master's; I am applying to the Iowa Principal's Leadership Academy. I completed all of my short-term professional goals. My husband won't buy me the rest of the bed set. BUT, we have a new lawn mower, 4-wheeler, and now a F150... hmmm... something is definitely wrong here. Let's see, my other mid-range personal goal was lost in the shuffle - weight - HELLO - baby number 2 + busy life = Chubby Mommy. Ha ha, but I don't care.. I have two beautiful children, a special husband, two great families, and everything I could ever want.
Life is still good.
