So tonight we put Sadie to bed early because she skipped her nap and was cranky. Chase and I were pretty excited about eating dinner in peace for a change. However, Sadie decided to scream and bang on her door for the duration of our meal. I knew she needed her "bahh" blanket but I wanted to chow down before Jack woke up. I figured I could eat and find her blanket after. Sadie wouldn't have it. She wanted it NOW!! So after about ten minutes (I ate fast because I could hear Jack stirring) I ran up there and presented her with her "bahh." As I was getting her ready again to sleep this is what our conversation was:
Sadie: Mommy, I was crying the whole time.
Mom: I didn't hear you because I was in the basement looking for your "bahh"..(a total lie, I knew exactly where it was but I wanted to eat before the other kid needed me.)
Sadie: I heard Jack crying. I think he's awake.
Mom: Yes, he is awake. He woke up because you were screaming and kicking your door. It was really loud Sadie.
Sadie: So..... you did hear me.
I guess I should either stop fibbing or cover my bases better. I can't disguise words by spelling anymore, she's already started recognizing several words (like ice cream for example). Also, when she asks for something and I tell her it's all gone, she wants to see the empty wrapper, box, or container for proof because obviously my word isn't good enough. My kid is too smart. I can't keep up with her.

That is really clever of her to pick up on. It is funny when they suddenly enter this new stage of baby lawyers.
Hi Abbs! I was out of town and just catching up on your posts. You always have me cracking up~! Couple of things-keep up the good and yet hard work. That phase of transitioning with a new baby will end soon enough. Sadie will eventually just not worry about it as much. I know it's hard in the beginning, but it DOES get better...promise! Also, Jack and Sadie are ADORABLE! I love seeing them change and grow! So cute!
That is hilarious!! What are we going to do to decieve our little queen's now? Believe me I feel your pain! I'll call you this week!! Love ya!
