This child is going to be stubborn. I can already tell. For two weeks the little guy has tried to make an appearance, and then he just seems to decide "heck no, I ain't goin' out there". Finally though we know for sure he's going to be born by at least this coming Tuesday. Her doctor said that if she doesn't go to have him before then, that he's going to induce her labor. I truly don't know how much more she can take, the poor woman looks like she's about ready to burst. She insists there's no more room for the baby to grow, period, that he's got no choice but to be born and soon.
I haven't seen Acey or Breanna this week. With Bonnie ready to have this baby any time, I can't babysit Acey right now, there'd be no room in the car to get Bon to the hospital.
Mallory was a doll today. That child is so receptive to attention it's not funny. She just LOVES it.. who doesn't, I know, but a hug and soft word to that youngin can bring her out of a raw mood faster than anything. She's a sweetheart. She's talking up a storm now, and I have to listen really carefully to understand what she's saying but she's trying. And she copies EVERYthing from Mikyla, mimicks her every move. She helped me paint the porch swings today - she and Mikyla both helped. They had paint everywhere, in their hair, in the grass, ok, yes, even had a little on the swing!
Mikyla is getting to be such a lady. She keeps me laughing. She won't let anyone but me push her on her swing, because, she says, only Mammy knows how to do it right. And I won't push her unless she gives me a great big smile, so she smiles so hard.. and says.. "Look Mamsie, my smile is all over my face!"
She thinks .. you can see her thinking and then she comes up with the most off the wall things you'd ever want to hear. I can't help it, I just start laughing and end up staring at her all amazed that she's so bright. She calls me "Mammy", "Mam" "Mams" and "Mamsie" depending on her mood. She wanted to stay all night with me tonight and just cried because Sarah wouldn't let her. I was sort of glad tho, I was tired tonight. Maybe Sarah will let her stay tomorrow.
