Well, Grace is 4 3/4 and Alex will be 1 in 2 weeks. I am sitting back just wondering where it all went? It seems like yesterday I was feeding Grace her bottle watching her little hands play with mine and tonight it was Alex in my arms doing the same thing. Grace had dance last night- first time since summer break after her big recital. She outgrew her dance outfit and both dance shoes - in 2 months. Alex is eating big boy food - and loving it I might add. He now hums when he's eating if he's enjoying it at all. He is so darn cute. He's climbing and standing. Any minute now I'm waiting to see him coming running down the hall. In a blink....
Grace told me the cutest story from school - if you don't already know, Grace tells and asks great stories and questions. I have a resent example of each :
Story from school - "Mom, did you know my teacher made us put a cotton ball in my hand and pretend it was cold - a cold baby - so I had to hold it really tight like this to keep it warm... and THEN she made me put a crayon in the SAME hand and hold it WITH the cotton ball - that was the cold baby - but it wasn't really a baby it was a cotton ball - in the same hand at the same time.... and then I had to write. With the cotton ball and crayon hand. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life." cute right!
oh and question she asked - there's kinda a back story. We were leaving Crosby and driving down 1942 - dark backwoods kind of road - no lights few stops - you get the idea. It was getting late but it wasn't dark just yet. In the sky we could see lightning. It wasn't storm lightning it was heat lightning - anyways not really part of this story sorry. We were watching it as we drove but the trees kept getting in the way. Grace made the comment she wished the trees would all be gone so she could see the lightning. So I explained how at one time this whole area ( where we were driving ) had been nothing but trees. She wanted to know why it wasn't anymore - for streets and house stores and stuff - people cut down trees so they can "live". - So here's her big question that just made me tear up little - "But Mommy - does that make God grumpy that we are cutting down all this trees?" Sometimes she just makes me proud to be her mom. I wish there were more grown ups in this world who were a little bit more like Gracie Mae.
Grace is enjoying swim lessons - she's very cute. Doesn't like to get her face wet though - which makes it a little hard in a pool full of water and all but she's a real trooper. Yesterday was packed full of fun - school, the park ( Grace has been asking for weeks so we walked to the one in the neighborhood - Texas August 1:00pm - nuff said) then swim and dance - we all crashed early.
At the end of the day we all sit and do "3 best Journal" - even if Daddy's a work - gotta love the speaker phone and I can say we are blessed! We might not have it all but together we have everything!!
