Bella's Awesome!

Bella is practically picking up new words every day.  The other day I accidentally called her privates a ‘pooky’ and she picked right up on that and didn’t stop saying it for at least 5 minutes.  Now she still says it when I take her diaper off but not every time, fortunately.  Yesterday, I picked her up from daycare and as I was putting her in the car, I mentioned what an awesome day it was.  She repeated ‘awesome’ several times while I was buckling her up and then we started calling everything awesome all the way home-Daddy’s awesome!  Bear’s awesome!  Bella’s awesome!  Mama’s awesome!  She even said Water awesome! when we rode over the lake.  Then later on at dinner at a local Mexican place, she wanted to play ‘pita-boo’ with everyone she saw-that is Peek-a-boo for those that need the translation.

I guess because Bella is such a dear but when a lady at church asked me if I’d be interested in taking over the 2yr olds’ Sunday school class, I told her we’d pray about it.  Paul and I really feel that this is something we need to do and would love getting to be with those kids every Sunday and since there’s also an opening for an assistant, Paul wanted to fill that position as well.  We’re going to visit their class this Sunday to see what it’s like and then we’ll finalize our decision.  The old teacher moves to GA end of April so we should get moving right along if we’re going to do this.  Then in June, Bella would move to our class and we’ll all get to be together-that’s awesome!

Bella’s having one of her molars come in on the bottom left side of her mouth.  Those molars sure do come in slowly but she’s been doing great with hers.  She was fussy at school today but I think she didn’t sleep well.  I heard her wrustling around early this morning but when I checked on her before I left for work, she had fallen back to sleep.  I had a really bad dream about killing a man that molested her at daycare-so I didn’t sleep much toward the last part of the night either.  Maybe she was feeling my pain.  It is wonderful how God protects us and keeps his children safe from harm, even the little ones.  That reminds me, I held Bella in a ‘baby rocking’ position tonight and she laid on my chest very still while we started our night prayers.  Before I even started, she would close her eyes and say something that sounded like Jesus.  Then when I started into the prayer, she would help remind me who to bless.  I started with bless Mama, bless Daddy, and she added before I could say, Gammy, Papa, Gammy, Gammy, Papa, Daddy.  Then once we had gone thru asking for blessings, she kept repeating sleep over and over.  I remembered that we always ask Jesus to give her a good night sleep so we ended with that, said Amen and we were ready for kisses and for bed.  No peep from her since then.  We are very blessed to have such a wonderful baby girl.
