Sa-Mae

Sadie-Mae is the crazy girl ever. She is like an old lady trapped in a toddler's body, She folds her arms, tilts her head down, and looks up with her eyes, just like YiaYia, ha! She corrects people, mostly daddy, and is fiercely independent. She told Steven this morning at 5:30am, "Daddy your freaking dog is whining again. Your freaking dog is allllllllwaaaayss whining." Then she lays down to go back to sleep. Last night Steven was fixing something to get everyone ready for bed and he messed something up. He said "son of a nutcracker". Lilly's favorite Christmas movie is "Elf" and she can recite most lines from it already, but her favorite that she often uses is son of a nutcracker so we have adopted saying it. Sadie doesn't even look up and says, "No daddy, it's son of a b---h." we really have no idea where she picks these things up. But both older girls remember pretty much everything, it's ridiculous. 

She likes to think she is 3 going on 4 because Lilly reminded everyone for months that she was 3 going on 4. We have noticed that Sadie has been picking up a lot of Lilly's bad habits. When Sadie is by herself, or even just without Lilly, she is so sweet and well behaved. Same goes for Lilly. She recently got her first tricycle and scooter here at Incirlik. This is why she is wearing all the protective gear in the above picture. She truly doesn't want to get hurt. She often reminds other children to wear helmets because it all just freaks her out at the thought of getting hurt. She also loves to clean. She likes to ask for napkins during a meal because she is dirty but really wants to clean the table or her chair. Crazy girl. She is getting bigger and smarter every day and she is loving living here now. She is also super excited to go visit Memo, Papop,and Shelby, and YiaYia and Papou. She tells us everyday! Oh and one more thing, she calls herself Sa-Mae. If you call her crazy she says 'No I Sa-Mae." She's just too cute!
