Spiderman... err, Sarah saves the day!

Mommy: "Help! Help me Spiderman!"

Sarah shoots web from her arm: "I sabe you!"

Sarah grabs Mommy: "I got you!"

Mommy: "Oh thank you Spiderman! You saved me!"

Baby-free for a day
This past Saturday, Sarah spent the night with Aunt Leslie and Uncle Burt. This was the first time she has spent the night away from us since we brought her home from the hospital.

We woke up early Saturday morning and I began to pack her bag. Interested in what I was doing, she thought I was going somewhere and kept saying, "Wanna go home, Mommy," which means, please don't go anywhere. Stay here with me. I then explained to her that she was going over to Leslie & Burt's to spend the night - she was very receptive to that. "Yessyee!" (That's Leslie, by the way.)

She and I arrived around 8:00 a.m. so Sarah could join the Harley crowd for brekafast. She was very excited to be there and immediately began looking for the cats and monsters. Burt and I wrangled with the car seat while she and Leslie looked on. Then Sarah told me to get in the car with them. "I'm not going, sweetie. You're spending the night." She thought for a second and said, "Bye, Mommy." Not a tear, not a pout, not a whimper. She was ready to go and fine that I wasn't going with her. *sniffle*

About two hours later I began to miss her - it was just too quiet in the house! I resisted the urge to call a thousand times to talk to her. Nevertheless, Daddy and I had a fun time - going to see two movies and out to dinner - and I heard that Sarah had the time of her life with her favorite Aunt and Uncle. She was very glad to see me when I picked her up. I'm glad she missed me, too. :)

Narcissarah
Sarah loves to look at herself in the mirror. If you've been to Home Depot lately, you might have noticed the Disney "Princess Mirrors." Sarah sure did. I had to drag her away from them! We went back a week later and she remembered where they were and went straight for them! She smiles and talks to herself while making poses. "Look Mommy!"

When I picked her up from school yesterday, Georgia told me that everytime she would fix Sarah's hair (after it had fallen down) Sarah wanted to see. In the car she kept asking me to look in the mirror. I flipped the pasenger side visor down and she giggled and cooed to herself all the way home. As soon as we got inside the house she climbed on my bed to look in my vanity mirror - "Meerr, Mommy! Look, see?!" "Yes, I see," I replied. "Me pretty, Mommy! Booful!"

Well, I have to agree. :)

Picnics with Rubbin Head
Sarah's new favorite movie is "Rubbin Head." That's "Robin Hood" to you and me (Disney, of course). It is also known as "Robin Good." As soon as we get home, she starts calling out for Rubbin Head. She tries to sing the songs and wants you to dance with her during the dance scenes - it's very cute. :) She especially likes Skippy's birthday party.

Lately, she's also been insisting on having picnics while watching the movie. So we spread a blanket on the floor, sit down with popcorn or some other snack and juice, and have a fun time. Oftentimes, she'll invite her dolls and toys, pretending to feed them. She's a very imaginitive child. :)
