Prayers

Dear Lord Jesus. Thank you for my momma and taking care of her because I love her. And I love my daddy, and Daisy, and Granny, and Pap, and Mamie, and Jon-Jon, and Josh, and Caleb. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Out of the Mouth of Babes...or a Diva!

MG told her Daddy she didn't want to go the the store with him. He told her he was sad because he'd be all alone. "Don't worry Daddy, Jesus will be with you. Jesus is always with us." At that moment, I knew we were doing something right as parents!

MG and Jamey were playing "lions" and MG was shooting the lion aka Daddy. She made her gun, made the shooting sounds then said "I shot you Daddy. Lay down, you're dead until I kiss you!". 1/2 tomboy/redneck...1/2 girly girl princess!

Last week at OT, I heard the therapist ask Molly if she'd ever seen a kangaroo. "No". So the therapist asked her if she'd ever been to the zoo. Her response? "No, but my brothers have!". She then went on to tell about her brother Josh who was really big and her other brother Caleb who was just a little big! A little while later they were talking about snow and the therapist asked if she'd ever played in the snow. Her response this time... "No!". Thank goodness they didn't ask her if her parents beat her. Or if we feed her!

Me: Molly Grace, I don't like how rude you're being right now MG: Hey...rude is like Rudolph. Listen...rude...olph. Yep! Rude and Rudolph. Oh Momma, you're soooo funny! Pretty sure she didn't get the point!

I think I already posted this one, but just in case here it is again... Mg hung up her pretend phone and I asked "talking to your boyfriend?" MG: No, it was the prince. He's coming to our castle. Me: Really? Then you should probably put some clothes on. MG: Yeah, I don't really need a dress, but I guess I should get some panties. Baby steps people!!

O/T

Today was MG's first OT session. It went great! Mom met me up at school with her this afternoon. MG had that "pissed off at the world" look on her face and mom said she had to wake her up to come. I was kind of terrified how it was going to go! She ate a snack on the way and pepped up a little. She was pretty reserved when we first got in there, hiding behind my legs and not wanting to talk. I sat down with them while she worked a puzzle then snuck out only a few minutes later and she was fine. I prayed the entire way there that her therapist would be compassionate and kind and someone who would be patient with MG. We got exactly that person! Mrs. Kim is young, soft spoken and very sweet. It's obvious she loves what she does and loves the children she helps. That made a huge difference for MG. I waited in the lobby, so I could only see her a little, but she got on the big swing, went down the slide, jumped on the trampoline, kicked the ball around and had a great time. She was smiling and just looked so confident. Made my heart smile, for sure! We stopped at Harp's for a Howl cookie on the way home. She's already excited to go back next week and play with Mrs. Kim!
