I have had the rare and wonderful privilage of Babysitting my little niece for the past 7 months, because her mommy had to back to work a few months after she was born and her daddy (my brother) has been running an internet business from home. I have gotten to watch her 2 or 3 days a week depending on the time of year. She is a spunky fun little girl! Her mommy just got to quit her job to stay home with her!! So we will miss having her here. Dallas loves her so much and when she was first born he couldn't hug and kiss her enough... but now that she can crawl... he is a little threatened by her. He will say, "Layla NOOO!" or "Layla OUT!" and he tries to sit on her. But he is really sweet to say "Rorry!" to her and softly rub her cheek. They are only a yr apart almost to the day... Feb. 9th and Feb 11th! They will be the best of friends. Whitney also adores Layla and plays and loves on her like a litle doll. It is soooo sweet. We will definitely miss little Layla, but we are so happy that her mommy gets to stay home with her now! :)
Upon seeing the first snow this winter, Whitney looked out the window and said, "It's Christmas Time!! Santa must be on him way!"
I said, "Oh Whit, you have choclate on your chin." and she said back to me very seriously, "That's just my beard mom."
Whitney said, "Mom, Santa's favorite people are Jesus and the toothfairy."
This morning as I was waking Kenzie up for school, she opened her eyes and looked at me and said, "3 more days until you have your precious baby, Mom!"----Which I have 11 days until my due date, but having the baby this Saturday would be great! I hope she is right.
On the way home from Bosie . . .We were passing a field of sand and Whitney looked out the window and asked, " Are we in Egypt?"
McKenzie in her prayer . . . " and please bless Aunt Macie will get her hot tub and have lots of babies." Macie has been talking about wanting an out door pool at her house. And Kenzie always prays for her to have a baby. She is so thoughtful and concerned
McKenzie came up the stairs and said, "Hey Dad, What's that smell? (pause) . . . Oh, it's you." (He had been fixing the lawn mower and smelled of Gasoline.)
Whitney was "playing" with Dallas . . . she had his little FOOTBALL and was showing him how to throw it, "Like this, Dallas, back and forth, back and forth." ---While holding the football to his hand--- then she told him, "See? Now you know how to play BASEBALL!" Poor Bubba, that is what you are going to get living with girls!!
