Being a mother is an amazing journey. Watching such a tiny thing develop into a person with their own personality is so neat and sometimes frustrating, but for the most part amazing. Sarah is really becoming her own person. Phil and I keep asking ourselves "Did Erik do this, or that?" and usually the answer is no or I don't remember. I know she is a different person but all kids have similarities and especially siblings. For example, both my kids are screamers but they come by that naturally. Sarah, however is much more of a "talker" than Erik ever was. He just liked to watch people. Sarah likes that as well but she will voice her opinion about whatever she happens to see, sometimes happy and sometimes mad and you never know what side is going to come out. Right now I'm watching her sitting in her rocking chair clapping her hands and watching the snow. I think she is most fascinated by the fact that she can make this chair she is sitting in, move all by herself. I would love to know what is going on inside her head. It's just another amazing thing about children.
Erik participated in our yearly church play today. He was a king who was part of the rhythm choir. I wasn't sure if he would get his lines down but in a short time of practice he got them down. Now being in front of the crowd today, I think he got a little shy because most of them came out but he spent more time playing with the crown that was suppose to be on his head but he liked looking through it and playing with a feather he found on the floor instead. I kept thinking, sing... say the line... but then I realized he's 4. I need to let him wiggle and play. It made it more entertaining for the video camera.
Watching the massive amount of snow piling up outside reminds me of my childhood. Builing snowmen, snow forts and going sledding. I'm looking foward to making memories with my children....
