“Saucey” is the way Trey pronounces his friend Causey’s name. He still has trouble starting words with hard consonants, but it may just be he thinks “saucey” is a cool nickname.
Causey celebrated his 3rd birthday this weekend and invited Trey to his airplane themed party. There were tons of kids at their house and Trey had a good time hanging out with them all.
Earlier in the week I took Trey to the store to pick out a present for Causey. He saw a Melissa & Doug wooden Birthday Party Cake set and announced to me that we would be getting Causey a birthday cake for his birthday. I wasn’t sure how much he would like it (seems like pretending to bake cakes would be more of a little girl thing and less interesting to airplane obsessed boys). However, all the kids loved it and insisted on opening it to play as soon as Trey gave it to him.
On Friday Trey and I drove up to Sweetwater, TN to join my dad and brother David to celebrate Peepaw’s 90th birthday (on the 23rd). My dad brought a Dairy Queen ice cream cake (Peepaw’s favorite) for the occasion.
On Saturday Tommy and Betty Haun joined at the Dinner Bell (another favorite of Peepaw’s) and afterwards we ate cake back at the house. Then Trey, David, and I went down to the nursing home in Madisonville to visit Grammaw. She was in really good spirits that day and we had a nice time with her. I read the story of “Brer Rabbit and Da Tar Baby” to her and Trey and they both really enjoyed it.
Trey has had a bit of a mean streak lately and it seems to be tied to a larger interest in exploring emotions. He gets very dramatic about things and exercise all 98 of his facial muscles. He loves to talk with grimaces and glares about how he is “upset”, “disappointed”, or “embarrassing” (embarrassed) and often I catch him making faces in the mirror.
This morning he wasn’t too keen on the rain outside because we got wet getting in&out of the car on they way to preschool. As we walked into the building this is the conversation we had.
“Daddy, when I get to heaven I’m gonna hit God!” he said with a scowl.
“Now why would you say that? We don’t hit our friends,” I replied .
Still frowning he answered “But He’s being mean. He’s making it rain on me.”
“Just because you don’t like the rain doesn’t mean you can hit Him. You should tell Him you are sorry,” I suggested.
The tone of his voice softened and with a bit of concern Trey then said “But He can’t hear me. He’s in heaven and that’s all the way in France.”
The Good News is that God forgives Trey (and the rest of us) when we have such bad, selfish attitudes towards Him. It’s also pretty good news that heaven isn’t in France.
