Our Ostler Family: Sophie's Blessing

Sophie's Blessing

We finally blessed Sophie at the end of August. She was already 3 months old, but I was hoping she'd grow a little more so she would fit into her dress. I didn't know I'd have such a petite little girl! Steve gave her a beautiful blessing and as usual I got a little weepy and sentimental. Something about baby blessings are special to me. I feel so incredibly blessed to have Sophie be a part of our family. She looked like an angel in her blessing dress. I made it as a part of my Sterling Scholar portfolio way back in High School when she was still but a dream. I know, Home Ec is terribly geeky but I still love that kind of stuff. Thank goodness I had a girl to wear my little masterpiece!

Out of the Mouths of Babes

On Sunday morning, as we were getting dressed, Max saw his bag of night-time pull-up pants. He wanted very badly to put one on, but we told him that they were just for bedtime. A few minutes later he was poking around in the closet, next to the pull-ups again. "No Max," we said firmly. His reply, "I was just thinking about them dad. Puh-leeeeze!" He's only 3 1/2 years old! Where'd that attitude come from already!!
Last night Daddy was putting Max to bed and said, "Goodnight my little peanut." Max looked at him with a concerned face and said, "No Dad. I'm not a peanut, I'm Max!"
Max was being naughty so Dad took away his books. Max said, "No! Those are MY books." Daddy said, "No, those are my books.' After a long pause, Max said in a defeated voice, "Oh yeah, they're yours."
We were at the library and Max was playing with another little boy. I had to remind him to share the toys and he said, "I am sharing ... with ME!" The other mom standing there busted out laughing. The joys of a two year old!
A few days ago Max told a complete stranger, "Sophie drink milk from Mommy's boobie." Oh my, oh my, oh my.
Today Max was begging to go outside but I was busy feeding Sophie. In a very concerned voice he said, "but Mommy, I HAVE to go outside. The grass is berry firsty." He feels it is his sacred duty to water the grass all day long.
I opened the curtains when Max woke up from his nap and he exclaimed, "Mr. Sunshine came out! How it happen?!"
