A Smattering Of Things...

... a cute story: We received a phone call from the bus company last week telling us that there will be a change in Rebekah's bus riding schedule next week as they are adding a new student. Rebekah does okay with change as long as she has time to process it before hand (but not so much that she expects it too long before it happens - see the last update about her grow tall medicine!) This morning we started talking to her about it.

Mommy told her that there will be a change next week and a new kiddo on the bus. Rebekah wanted to know who was leaving and couldn't seem to grasp adding a student without taking one away but finally she got it. Told her that she would be on the bus longer as she would be dropped of last rather than first. Mommy said "they will be doing the route backwards." At that point Rebekah looked over her shoulder (like backing up) and said "beep beep backwards beep beep." It was cute.

... a heart warming story: Quiet Sunday morning. Only daddy and Sarah awake. Soft music playing while still dark outside and the woodstove burning. Reading the little mermaid and telling her a story about a little boy named Scott and a little girl named Frances and how they met. "Is that a real story daddy?". "Yes honey, it's a wonderfully real ...story from a long time ago."

The last story came from daddy's face book. He is still toying with a place to post more personal emotional posts and for right now his face book account is where those are going - mainly because mommy doesn't read there. It's tough wanting a place to vent; not wanting to hide things from mommy but also not wanting her to be upset either. This is really scary to open things up this way, but feel free to friend request daddy if you want to read some of those. Find him as "Scott Adams" from "Banks, Oregon" Assuming he keeps up things there you will definitely see a different side of daddy than gets posted to the world at large here!
