The Sweetest Thing...

So the sweetest thing came out of Mikayla's mouth last week....

Let me give you some history leading up to said sweet moment....
Our dog, Bud, has been very sick. He stopped eating and we realized he had an infection in his mouth which required minor mouth surgery. A week later after he started to eat again, he stopped eating and he started throwing up. We thought his mouth might still be hurting and tried more pain meds...didn't help. Took him to a second vet for another opinion and ended up taking him home with a load of medicine. We had a trip planned to Arkansas and had to leave Bud with a friend and we hoped and prayed he would start eating again. We came home to find an even skinnier Bud!! Michael and I talked about it and decided to take Bud to the vet and we were weighing our options... the night before taking her to school I told her that Bud is real sick and might have to go to Heaven. She didn't like that too much but she at least was prepared.

So here's where the sweetest thing comes in to play....
Wednesday morning (Dec 22) before Mikayla left for school I told her to give Bud a big hug and tell her that she loves him...

MAC hugging Bud: I love you Bud and hope you feel better and if you have to go to Heaven, I will see you when I get there...

Sigh....needless to say the tears flowed all day long that day, what a sweet girl!!!!

Updated funny sayings

A few weeks ago I got a hair cut and decided to go drastic and cut 8-9 inches. Before Mikayla went to bed that night she said... "Don't worry mom, I still love you even if you don't have long beautiful hair like mine!"

A week or so later I picked her up from school on a Wednesday afternoon. I told her we had to hurry because we needed to get home to check on Bud, our dog (he had just undergone some minor mouth surgery and the pain medicine made him kind of loopy). She wanted to stay and play but I needed to urge her towards the truck so I say "I have a surprise for you in the truck!" to which she said, "What could you possibly have in the truck that I would want?" All I can think is...are you 4 or 14????

Mikayla is in her school Christmas play. She is going to be the Virgin Mary... I am waiting for her to ask what virgin means and so far I have lucked out. However, she has informed me several times that I could start calling her the Virgin Mikayla and I am thinking "You BETTER be a virgin!!"

Tomorrow is the actual play...stay tuned for updates!!!
