Insanity

It seems as though the season has been so much more hectic then in years past.  I am not sure if it has to do with our addition, Sadie or if we are just have too much going on.  But we made it through and we had a great Christmas.

Sadie is definitely a lot of work.  I have had to change my schedule a bit to get home for her so my morning errands sometimes have to be cut short.  She is like a little baby, putting everything in her mouth that she can find and biting like crazy.  I can't tell you how many holes she has put in my clothes and Tee's.  She likes to use Tee as her personal chew toy.  Tee just loves her so much and wants to kiss her all the time.  E has really bonded with the dog and helps us care for her.  Jay on the other hand is very scared and doesn't want much to do with her.  Hopefully, once she gets a bit older this will change.

Sadie is now 11 weeks old.  I was able to regain some sanity once I got a play yard for her.  She did have several accidents prior to the play yard.  It is nice to be able to put her in there so that I can get things done in the house without worrying about what she might be into.

There has been so much that has happened in the last month that I don't know where to start. 

Tee has a preschool Christmas program.  He was adorable.  They sang Feliz Navidad and a Kwanzaa song.  Yep, not sure how the Kwanzaa song plays into our Christian preschool, but whatever.  He sang so loud and while on stage he says hey Mom.  He says the funniest things sometimes.  The other day he said Mom will you still love me with boogers on my face?  I said of course, I will always love you.  Then he proceeds to wipe his nose on my pillow.  Another time he kissed me and said every Kiss begins with K.  Maybe a little too much TV.  We have looked at him recently and realized he is growing way too fast.

Jay had been in some trouble lately, the story for another day.  He has asked the big question many times.  You know, is there really a Santa.  I have blown him off saying that you have to believe.  Well, he has a week ago again.  My husband asked me what to do.  We decided that maybe he was ready to know.  So he took him to his room and told him the truth.  Jay cried for a long time.  He was so sad.  Of course, we threatened him if he spilled the beans to his brothers or his friends.  The husband has explained that nothing has changed, we love doing Christmas just as much as they love Christmas.  I think he is ok with it.

E has been doing well.  He was so excited for Christmas.  It is funny because he never asks for much.  He had two things on his list.  We decided last minute that we should at least get one of the items.  I don't know that he will ever ask us about Santa and I think by this time next year we will need to sit him down.  He has been really good in helping with the dog.  He will even help pick up the poop in the yard.  Once the dog settles down a little, I think they will have a great bond. 

The husband is on vacation this week.  This week will be about regaining some sanity, organizing and getting ready for the new year.  I will post pictures of Christmas soon.
