Wedding dance
07/26/09 10:36 Filed in: tidbits
I’ve been to a few weddings in my time. Some
are beautiful, some cost a lot of money, and some are
......well, even though they touch my heart, they can
be boring at times. Scott and I got married in Tahoe.
Just the two of us.
At the time, I wouldn’t have done it any other way. It was beautiful, did not cost anyone a lot of money, and if anyone was going to be bored, it wasn’t going to be at my wedding. Our own private and sacred wedding was what we needed at the time.
BUT.......
If we were to do it again, I would want to do it like this.
What a joyful celebration!

A small girl with BIG questions
07/10/09 18:16 Filed in: Cady-isms
Cadence: Mom, why did I get this new nightgown?
Mom: Because I love you, Sweetie. I knew you liked it when we picked it out. And you were a good girl at the store, so I got it for you.
Cadence: (smiling sweetly, then coming to give Mom a hug)
Cadence: Mom?!
Mom: Yes, Sweetie?
Cadence: Who would I be with if I didn’t have my Mommy and my Daddy?
(WOW! I’m thinking this is too big for such a little girl)
Mom: Probably with your A-yi, and all your friends back in China.
I have to shake my head, realizing that my little girl probably “gets it”. Never underestimate the “get it” powers of a child.
(After watching a Brittish show)
Cadence: Mom, what’s it mean when you say, “my bum hurts”?
Mom: That’s English for saying, “my bottom hurts”
Cadence: (Laughing after she realizes what was said in the show)
Cadence: How do you say other words in English?
And last....but not least. We got “THE” question yesterday
Cadence: Mom.
Mom: Yes, Cady?
Cadence: How do babies get IN TO a mommy’s tummy?
Mom: (blink, blink)
Mom: (Calling out loudly) Daddy....She has a question for you!
Dad: Yes, Cady?
Cadence: I want to know how babies get into the mommy’s tummy.
Dad: Well, remember we’ve talked about co-operation?
Cadence: Yeah.
Dad: Well, when a mom and dad love each other, they co-operate and work very hard together to get the baby into the mommy’s tummy........But not until they’re married.
Nicely put, Scott. And thanks for helping me dodge that bullet...for now.
I know I said earlier not to underestimate the “get it” powers of a child, but hey, I’M not ready for this one yet!
