Happy Birthday Sada

WOW My little girl is 2 years old today. It does not seem that long ago we were bringing her home. Time is going so fast. Sometimes I just want to turn back time. But, we all must grow up.
Sada is talking up a storm, she just loves to argue with anyone...maybe she might be lawyer, She loves Elmo she would watch Elmo all day long if I would let her. She also loves to play with her brother Kipling, well most of the time it ends up in an argument or a knock down fight. Sometimes I cannot tell if they are fighting or wrestling. She is also a nurturer, or I think that is what she is trying to do when she turns Spencer over her knee, tries to roll him over, she just loves her BABY!! Sada is also very crafty she loves to paint, color, paint and paint some more. She also loves to play with trains, blocks and her little people motorcycle. We have a couple different train sets and she will play with all of them at one time if you let her. I am her favorite person when I put together the old 1978 little people train set and just sit down with her and wind the train up.
When she is in her sweet mood she will get me what ever I want, however when she is in one of her moods she will tell me NO, NO, NO!! Not just one No but a couple and sometimes several.
She is still attached to her pacifier, she has to have it where ever she goes. Not only does she have her pacifier she has to carry her silky, and if we do not have those two things we will be in a whole lot of trouble. She especially will not give up her crib. We have tried to move her to her bed, one night is all she will do and she already has to be a sleep or it will not sleep in her bed. She does not like when Spencer sleeps in her crib, even for nap time. She will climb in and not good result come from that. She definitely keeps me going ALL day long. But, what would I be doing if I did not have her, something would definitely be missing.
Mommy made you the pretty princess cake. I hope you enjoyed it!!
Happy Birthday My Little Princess!!! My life would not be the same with out you.
I Love you so much
Love,
Mommy

Day 7: We woke up and were running like crazy trying to get everything cleaned up and out the door in time. We did not get everything out on time, but we were checked out. We then headed down to the pool one last time and off we went to my Mom's house to spend some time there, and then I thought we better get home to see Chad.
We had a lot of fun like always. Can't wait til next year!!!

Today I was by myself. I did not have a choice. Most of the day we stayed inside watching TV (the kids did not mind). Then about 2pm we headed out to go and paint a turtle coin bank. On our way down it was just our luck the ice cream truck just so happened to come by. I usually do not let the children get anything from the ice cream truck and they know they are not to ask for any ice cream from the ice cream truck. So, as the ice cream truck came by the were so excited just to see the ice cream truck. And then for me to ask do you guys want to get ice cream. They were so excited. They were even more excited when they found out they could both pick the ice cream they wanted. We were on vacation, why not!! Then off we went to the activities center and they both painted a turtle coin bank. Sada decided that she wanted to paint herself and have nothing to do with the turtle. Then Spencer decided to have a melt down, and then Sada decided to have a melt down and then you guessed it Kipling decided to have a melt down. So, we left our turtle banks there and went back to the apartment, and waited til Nana got home.
Nana got home and he hit the pools again.

My Dad came up and spent the day with us at the Beach since I was going to be alone with the kids. I was not ready to be alone away from home all by myself. I really enjoyed the day spending with my Dad, there have not been very many days in my life where it was just my Dad and I. Today was my day he came to spend with me and the kids. We had a lot of fun. He took Kip and Sada down to the pool while I was trying to get Spencer and I ready. After we went to the pool we went back up to the apartment to rest and eat lunch. Then we went over to the fish and fed the fish. The kids had a lot of fun with Grandpa Bob and so did I. My Mom came home and then my Dad headed home. Thanks Dad for making a special trip to help me out. And thanks for all the fun we had today. Love you:0)

Day 4-My Mother took today off, she usually takes one day off to spend the whole day with us. We usually go to Beaufort but today we just stayed at the resort. We headed to the outdoor pool first and then went to do a craft. We came back to the apartment to find Spencer and Chad resting. We ate Lunch, rested, then it was time for Heather to leave. We went back out to the pool later that day and then it was time for dinner. After dinner Chad had to leave because he had to go to work the next day. It was sad to see him go.
