Angel and Dexter

 We had to have our 14 year old dog, Angel, put to sleep yesterday. It was so sad and we miss her very much. I don’t think anyone misses her more than our sheltie,Dexter, he is sad. He just walks around the house like he doesn’t know what to do with himself.

 Angel had trained Dexter to do everything for her. He told us when she had to go outside, he told us when she needed food or water, so now he has no job.

 I know it will get better for Dexter. It is sad to see him so lost with out his adopted Mommy dog.

 RIP-ANGEL, your family misses you!

funny kid stuff

Well, I have been neglecting the Babysoup blog so here are a few funny stories from my life. Please feel free to add your funny. Last time you guys were hilarious!

 Emma came home from church and went to the bathroom and said “I wore a tampon at church”, since Emma is 6 I was a bit concerned.  She took off her jeans and had a pantiliner in there. I sure was relieved to see that…….

 Emma was using the bathroom today and Cara couldn’t wait to go. Instead of using one of the other 2 bathrooms in our house, Cara tried to use an empty shampoo bottle. That didn’t work.

 Cara had a mess of toys on the living room floor. She looked up at me and said “it’s not a mess mommy, it is a booty trap”. She meant boobie trap as is mentioned in every Scooby Doo episode but it was funnier this way.

 Ellie informed me that since she is a teen she should be able to read the teen magazines that have the teen stars in them. I had to tell her 10 years old is still not a teenager. Other than that she has been on her best behavior lately.

 Anyone have anything funny to say????

Schrage Update

Hi, I have to write an update to Emma’s tooth story. It finally came out. Last night, Emma lost one of her two front teeth.  We didn’t get to use the tooth box but the tooth fairy visited anyway.  Now, she needs to lose the other tooth so she can be totally front toothless.

 Also, our supernanny episode is going to be on April 23rd.  I’m not allowed to blog about it but so many folks have asked me when it is aring, I thought I would just post it somewhere on here.

 Have a great night everyone! 

     

Stuffed friends

 Emma spent the night with her friend Kayla last night. Kayla loves to have friends over but she has a big delimma at bedtime. Kayla doesn’t like to move any stuffed animals off of her bed to make room for Emma to sleep.  To her, they are her real friends.  So, last night we just sent Emma with her sleeping bag.

 I remember having stuffed friends when I was a kid. Since my sister is 18 years older than me, I was pretty much an only child.  I had about 5 stuffed animals that slept with me everynight.

 I never wanted anything to be lonely so I put them in my bed like they needed me as much as I needed them.

 I tied my clothes together in the closet so it looked like they were all holding hands.  My mother said I tied her clothes together too.

 I was never really alone. God was there with me.  He knew my heart and he kept me company. Just like he will anyone feeling lonely today.

Are you a girly girl or a tomboy??

 There is a contoversy in the first grade.  They are trying to decide who is a “girly girl” and who is a “tomboy”.  Emma is a tomboy to a teeeee. They divided each other into groups. Some first graders still want to be girly girls.

 There is an even bigger controversy in 5th grade.  They are all trying to decide the same thing.  Well, the 5th graders are not  quite as loving and kind to each other.  They decided to appoint everyone either a girly girl or a tomboy. No one in 5th grade wants to be a girly girl.

 Tonight, Ellie is devastated because since she wore pink today, she was called a “girly girl”.  I told her the girls in her class haven’t seen her after she has been digging up worms and playing in the sand. There was no consoling her. Her feelings are hurt.

 Now, my job as a parent, is to tell them they can be a girly girl one day and a tomboy the next and whatever they want the next.  I tried this and it helped Emma (who wasn’t upset anyway), but not Ellie.  My joke about shaving her head didn’t help either.

 I finally told her how tough 5th grade was for me. My worst year in school.  This helped her.  This made her feel better.

 Thanks God, for giving me wisdom in areas I am lacking and letting me know how to comfort a 10 year old.
