Yoga with Sadie

I've been giving yoga a chance, but it's hard. I like lacrosse, and basketball, and games where I run around. So, being quiet for a moment is actually kinda hard. When I'm in crowds, I'm more Zen-like. But at home, it's all about getting bonkers! Especially if I have a bowl of Trix.

(Note from Sadie's Mom: Say no to Trix. After checking the amount of sugar, we changed to Cheerios immediately. It's amazing her head didn't pop off. Here's a photographic example of the results.)

Here is my interpretation of this "yoga" stuff. And is it Namaste or Llama-stay? I like llamas- they are like camels, but not really. I also think all yoga should be done in big poofy skirts - they allow for lots of movement.

*Gulp*

I lost Blankie. We went to the shopping center with the Barnes and Noble and the restaurant with the Fire Truck, and it was really, really windy! So windy that the tree that they used for the Christmas Tree at the White House - it blew down! I had it when I got out of the car. But somehow in the course of the day... I lost it. But Mommy said another little kid must have needed Blankie more than I did, so Blankie decided to go with the kid. I was sad. But then Mommy said it was time to go to Target because a new Blankie needed to choose ME!

This is me and old Blankie. She was a great friend.

So we got in the car (Dad and Mom looked like they were gonna cry, so I kept quiet.) And we drove to Target. I got in the cart and SHAZAAM!!!! Like magic, it took off! And it was going here and there, and turning around, and doing all sorts of crazy things. And then it stopped in front of a big display of Blankies. And the new Blankie picked **ME!!!** She's light pink on one side, and has pink, brown and white stripes. And she's soft! Really, really soft!

I thought old Blankie might come back and visit, but Mommy said it's good to love and miss the old Blankie, but now it's time to make new memories with new Blankie. I think I'll be okay, and I hope that new kid really takes care of old Blankie. To be honest, she was a little worn out - and she accidentally dipped herself in Mom's lasagna the other night.

When new Blankie is well-adjusted in the family, I'll take a picture and introduce you to her. She's really quite lovely.

Sadie Angelica: Style Icon

Yes, you heard it here first. The poofy skirt is totally "in" this season. I also have one in hot pink with hearts on it, and I highly recommend you stand over a heater whenever possible. It feels nice and makes the skirt extra poofy. As for tops, one my favorite shirts is my Peanuts "One Love" t-shirt, although I just got a rockin' Curious George tee. 

But that's not what I'm really here to talk about with you. Although style is very important to me, there have been developments that cannot be ignored.

I have been informed by Mom and Dad that we are moving. I'm shrugging it off like it's not big deal. Mom has been putting books in boxes and they are all over the place. Apparently, Mom got a new job at that Colonial Williamsburg place. I gotta admit, I did have fun there. As soon as we went in the bookstore, I put on a College of William & Mary hat and tried to grab a football.

I'm a little confused about the details of all of this. I'm already planning another interview with Mommy... 'cause I have questions.

Are we taking Georgie?

Can I bring my big Ladybuggy pillow?

Can I still have cranberry juice before bed?

Seriously, do they get wi-fi there? I can't live without Berenstein Bears on YouTube.

There's a lot to discuss. And possibly negotiate. I'm good at that. If my parents can't meet me halfway on this - then forget it. I'm considering asking for more vanilla ice cream. And a later bedtime.
