Amazing what a difference that sun makes after days of downpour. I'm singing the Sesame Street Theme Song lyrics in my head...thus the title! I love Sesame Street. Unfortunately my girls never really "took" to it.
I'm feeling good this morning. I had my walk, which always makes a difference...I've washed everyone's bedding and even made playdough. Madeleine wanted me to...I almost said no becasue I was on a roll with housework but then thought....wait a minute, how long will that take? So, they're happy with their fresh playdough now.
I have to brag a little about my firstborn. She's very smart (I know I'm biased) especially when it comes to language. I think she was born talking! As they were playing, she mentioned the word "mysterious". Chelsea said, "What does mysterious mean?" Madeleine replied, "It means scary, but interesting." Wow! I don't think I could define it so well.
My Chelsea is smart too. I think in a different way. She's actually quicker than Maddie in some ways. She has an incredible memory and a fascination for how things work. I'm always amazed at how fast she figures things out. She's also a fabulous artist.
I'm so thankful to God for giving me two intelligent little girls. It's a huge responsibility, (that sometimes overwhelms me frankly) to channel all those smarts. They are such thinking, feeling (sometimes manipulative , LOL) little people.
I felt such sadness after school on Tuesday for my autistic boy's dad. The boys were all getting their coats on, chatting away about whose house they were going to and what games they were planning. The coat area was just buzzing! Luke went about his routine, oblivious to all the chatter. I could see the sadness in his dad's eyes, knowing his little boy would probably never be in the mix with his peers like that. The kids are wonderful to him and can't wait for their buddy day, but it's not a natural friendship.
So, today I'm thankful for my girls. I'm amazed and humbled that He gave me two precious, healthy, intelligent children. What a blessing.....what a responsibility.
