Lately Sarah has said a few really sweet or funny things that I just have to share. Philip is a whole different animal from Sarah. He's wild and always moving. I was trying to put Philip's shoes on and he kept moving his legs making it a bit difficult for me. =) I kept saying, " Stop it Philip, stop it!" and Sarah responded by saying, " Mommy, he can't help it. Boys CAN"T stop!" I couldn't decide if I was just completely confused or entertained. I have no idea where she got that idea, but it cracked me up.
Then later that day Sarah noticed the sunset through the window in her bedroom. Philip and I were in the room with her and after she got a good look at the sunset she turned to Philip and said, "Come with me," as she held out her hand for Philip to hold. She took Philip to the front door to look out at the sunset where he could see it better. I stood back and just watched them for a moment. After a second, Sarah put her hand on Philip's back and said in the sweetest softest voice (pointing at the sky), " God made those colors Philip." She continued talking to him about how God made the sunset and sky and all the colors in it. It was one of the sweetest things I had ever seen, watching my daughter teach her little brother about God. It was precious!
Today, when nap time was coming to an end, I could hear Sarah and Philip talking in their room, so I went to go get them. As I'm approaching their room I found Sarah roaming the living room. She was surprised to see me and jumped anticipating that she will be in trouble. I said to her, " What are you doing?"
With a very serious face, she replied with,
" In my life and my heart, I don't know where I was going. In my life and my heart (eyebrows raised), you scared me! In my life and my HEART, I didn't do anything wrong."
I had to turn my face the other way so she couldn't see me laugh.
Later she told me about nap time and how she heard Philip wake up so she went over to his bed (which is in a closet) and said to him, " My name is Sarah Lane Wilkinson and you need pops because you're not being quiet!" All I could do is laugh. She's constantly saying things that crack me up or melt my heart. :)
