Just Lately. [some things a/b Adrean]

*The other day, we were watching CNN & something came on showing some soldiers in Afghanistan. Then, Adrean looked to me & said, "Mommy, daddy gonna die, the bad guys gonna shoot him." My heart just dropped. I felt so bad! I could not believe he said that!! I was like, what makes you say that Adrean?? That's not true. Daddy will be fine when he goes. He's gonna be safe. Then, his face just turned red & his lips started like, shaking, & his eyes got soooo watery! & he told me, "Mommy, that makes me so sad." So, I tried my best to reassure him that daddy would be fine over there. I told him that we would pray for him every night when he said his bedtime prayers. Then, he said, "It makes me sad that daddy's leaving, he's gonna be gone for long time." So, I told him, "Yes, that was true but we would talk to him as much as we could on the computer & on the phone & that we would also look at daddy's pictures all the time." So, I kinda calmed him down, but he was really upset the rest of the night. It made me start to cry, because I felt so bad! I couldn't let him see me cry though. I told Richy about it the next morning, & he just felt soooo bad. He doesn't even really like to talk about it. I have been talking about Richy's deployment with Adrean because I want to prepare him. I don't want the time to come, & Richy leaves, then, Adrean will be confused, wondering why his dad isn't here, especially for a whole year!!! Adrean is so smart & advanced for his age. I mean, what child would come out & say something like that?! So, thats why I try to talk to him to help him understand because I know he does. Well, we got the BEST news a few days ago! Richy found out that instead of deploying in November, (which would mean he would miss THE HOLIDAYS!!) they will be deploying in January! We were so happy to hear that. :) He will miss the holidays for 2011, but I am hoping it will be easier because he will be gone for a whole year already, & by the time the holidays come, it will be almost time for them to get back home!

*So, I definitely need to get some videos of Adrean singing & dancing!! :) His favorite songs right now are "Meet Me Halfway" by the Blackeyed Peas, "Tik Tok" by Kesha, "Bad Romance" by Lady GaGa, "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift <- he says thats daddy's girlfriend since Richy likes her & that that's Tee's song [for those who don't know, Tee is Kelly], & some Michael Jackson songs. Its so cute, because he knows so many lyrics to so many songs now & he dances so darn cute!!! :)

*Awwww, the other day we were inside DSW looking at shoes, then we were looking at wallets & little clutches, & Adrean found this leopard wallet & asked me if Tee would like that, & I told him, I dunno.. Ask her. So, when Kelly got to the front, he asked her & she was like, awww this IS cute! & Adrean told her that it matches her, & we were like "What?!" Then, we noticed that Kelly was wearing a little leopard spaghetti top under her sweater. Isn't that cute?! Then, a few days later, we were in the store & Adrean showed something leopard to Richy & said, "Daddy, thats Tee's favorite color." :) hahaha.

First Post

Welcome to our blog! Hopefully, I will keep up with this as much as I can. I will do my best. ;) Well, I guess I'll write about our day. Adrean & I were home all day today while daddy was at drill. We watched some movies together. We watched Pocahontas or "Popohontas" (according to Adrean), Monsters Inc., & Not Easily Broken. We love spending time together. He's sucha mama's boy! <3

As soon as his dad got home, they did their little ritual: Adrean hears Richy, so he runs & "hides" & then, Richy & I act like Adrean has disappeared. He likes for you to look for him, so then Richy will go look for him, but then, Adrean won't even give you a chance, LOL! He'll jump out at you before you have enough time to "search" for him. haha. They wrestled on the floor for a bit, which Adrean LOVES. Wait, scratch that out, Adrean AND Richy both love! :) Then, Adrean started to ask Richy for some pizza. So, he told him he'd get him some.

Today is Richy's friend's birthday party, but I decided not to go. I figured I could stay home & work on some stuff for school. So, we went & picked up some pizza for Adrean & I, then, we took daddy to his friend's house for the BBQ.

So, that is basically what our day has consisted of. :)
Not a very interesting posting, but ohhh well. haha.
