Amaria Gone Wild

A few updates from the last week or so:

As many of you may have seen on Facebook, Heidi & I had a little disagreement with Amaria earlier this week. She was in between the couch & end table & we have told her multiple times not to go there. Heidi told her move. Amaria said, "No!" "Who has the authority here?" was Heidi's response to the defiant 5 year old. "God!" said Amaria. I absolutely lost it, but Heidi wins mom of the year. "WELL....who did God put on this Earth to be in charge of you?" Amaria moved!

Today Amaria decided to give her cat Whopper a bath. One slight problem. She dropped the cat in the bucket that Heidi was using to mop the floor. I'm not sure what kind of reaction Pine-Sol has with cat, but we may soon find out. The cat got a real bath courtesy of Heidi & he hasn't shown any signs of being sick...yet! When questioned about dropping the cat into the cleaning solution, she claimed she didn't know that it was anything other than water. No excuses--this little incident got her one month without any TV or movies. Nothing like starting the next stage of your life grounded.

Speaking of that next stage--it begins tomorrow for Amaria--her first day of kindergarten. I can't believe that she is already starting 'real' school. Last week Heidi & I had a chance to meet her teacher & last night, Amaria got her chance. She, of course, was shy when we first got there, but by the time we left she was already hamming it up. Tomorrow is definitely going to be a big day for all of us. Thankfully, Amaria is extremely excited--possibly to excited to sleep maybe (not good!). We are so thankful for the opportunity that God has given us to allow Amaria to attend school at Round Rock Christian Academy. I'm sure they'll been tons of updates throughout the year on Amaria & school. We pray that the majority of them are good/positive updates.

Thanks for reading & God bless!
