Stephen woke up in the middle of the night, crying a lot. Mama figured it was because of a bad dream.
Mama: I think he was having a bad dream about a not nice doggie.
Sarah: Maybe he was dreaming that Sarita hit him!

First Day Meeting Teacher
We went to visit Sarah's new Head Start preschool classroom and meet her new teacher.
Teacher Sasha: Sarah, what do you like to do at school?
Sarah: Umm, I like to hit people!

Motorcycles
Sarah relates all kinds of things to Grandma and Grandpa. We were driving at night and saw a motorcyclist and Sarah started talking about how dangerous they were.
Sarah: When I was little I was riding on a motorcycle with Grandma and we feel down but no sangre* came out. So that's why you should be really careful when you are riding a motorcycle at night.

(Just one of many stories she comes up with.)
*(Sangre = blood)
Rain
On a rainy day in Scottsdale.
Sarah: I like rain, because it makes me feel ... Wet!
We did get a chance to go walk around in the early morning rain, splash in the puddles, walk in the soft grass, let rain run over our toes, and use the kids' rain boots that were gifts from Grandma and Grandpa.

First Crush
Stephen has a friend at preschool - Edna.
Papa: Stephen, did you see anyone at school today?
Stephen: Edna!
...
Papa: Stephen, do you like Edna?
Stephen: Hug Edna!
Edna is a very happy and smiley child, just like Stephen.
...
Mama drops Stephen off at preschool. Stephen has, up to this point, usually been pretty tearful as we leave. Today, Stephen sees Edna.
Stephen: Bye Mama! (Almost shoos Mama out the door).

Row Row Row
Papa taught the kids a new song: Row row row the boat.
They learned the original version, and then Papa taught them the alternative version:
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Throw the teacher overboard
And listen to her scream
Mama: What? I don't want them to learn that!
Papa: (Singing original version several times)
Sarah: Row row row your boat, throw the teacher in the wadder!

Happy Birthday Stephen!
So now it has been two years since we first welcomed Stephen into our arms.
He is a very smiley, happy, playful boy who brings us lots of joy into our hearts.
