Sadee Sadee

Our Sadee is something else. She's feisty yet so sweet. She's sporty yet such a girly girl. She is so shy around others, yet is so "bring it on" around the family. She only does what she wants to do. And when she's mad, watch out! She's my child that can't be talked to when she's upset. You have to let her cool off first, then you can talk to her about things.

She is 5 years old now and in Kindergarten! I was really nervous about her in school, thinking she is going to be the trouble maker, the child that doesn't listen and cooperate. The 1st day of school, I briefly talked to her teacher, whom Maci had too in Kindergarten, and Mrs. Cassidy informed me that she loved Sadee. I'll be honest, I was pretty shocked. I thought, well, first day of school, of course she's going to be good. Well, after week 2, and her coming home with 2 purple tickets every day (which is the best you can get), I thought, I guess she's really good at school! Wow! I went to Parent/teacher conference, and Mrs. Cassidy informed me that Sadee is absolutely wonderful and she wished all of her students was as well behaved as Sadee was. She was shocked that I was shocked. I told her what Sadee is like for us at home and Mrs. Cassidy was like, "You have to video tape that for me because I don't believe she could even be like that." I couldn't believe it! I was soooo happy and relieved! It's one thing for kids to treat their parents and family one way, but I try so hard to teach my kids to be respectful to other adults and children. I'm so glad she is! She even got the 1st Citizenship award of the year from her class and she even got chosen for Pizza with the Principal out of all of the Kindergartners. I've noticed that since school has started, she has gotten so much better at listening to us and she gets along better with her siblings and she just seems happier and not as moody. Hallelujah!

And oh how much she loves daddy! She is definitely a daddy's girl!

This is her, "I'm not talking to you mom" look.

She is such a little poser and loves to take pictures of herself! Tonight, I asked Sadee why she listens to Mrs. Cassidy so much and is so nice at school, but why she doesn't listen to me and why she's mad at home? She said, "I like what Mrs. Cassidy says but I don't like what you say Mom. But I still love you Mom." And I gave her a big hug and just had to laugh. I guess with children that say things like that, all you can do is laugh! I love Sadee and all the many emotions she brings to our family!
