Bobby LeeAnn

Today, I decided to dedicate a blog to each of my wonderful children. I decided to start with Bobby LeeAnn.
About a year almost after Billy and I were married we had Bobby LeeAnn, she was such a precious baby born on the 28th of May. I thought I was an awesome mother but looking back I made some huge mistakes. But a 18 I thought I knew it all. Bobby was pretty tiny when she was born, she weighed in at 6 lbs 6 ozs. but when the health nurse came out just three weeks later she calculated our scales at home to be off and told me Bobby was only 4 lbs 6 ozs. I don't know about this, I always believed them to know what they were doing but I don't kmow for sure. I do know she was a tiny baby. The adventures of Bobby were great, and I learned to be a mom. I learned a-lot about myself as a person in that year, about what I really wanted in life and about the things that shouldn't be in my life. I learned to quit saying crap and instead started yelling crayon when I stubbed my toe. That word is just not cute coming out of a 9 month olds mouth. However it was so cute when she started yelling crayon!!! I also learned not to allow smoking around my children. Bobby would develop a weird yellow rash in her hair and on her skin, everything that wasn't covered by clothes. Also she ran around in only a diaper a lot so sometimes it was really bad. Which brings me to the next thing I learned keep clothes on your babies at all times. You never know when there might be an emergency. Well for instance when your husband is on his way to work and has a flat (working third shift) and you have to find clothes and keys. Get the baby dressed and drive 20 miles in 2 minutes so he won't be late for work. I also learned that moms make mistakes and they should never hide it from their kids. Kids need to know that moms make mistakes so when mom gets pulled over going 55 in a 30 the kid won't say, "sometimes mommy really drives fast but only when she's mad at grandma and grandpa" to the police officer.
Bobby was about two and she and her younger sister Charity were best friends. One afternoon they were playing in their room, and all the sudden I kept hearing Bobby yell help me mommy. I started looking and then got frantic running up and down the hall looking in every closet as well as every nook and cranny, Under the beds, everywhere. Charity was standing in the hall, and I kept asking where is your sister and she would shrug. I finally decided maybe the bathroom so I went in there no Bobby but as I'm looking in the bathroom I heard Bobby behind me near Charity yell again. Charity was standing in front of the dryer. SO I made her move to the side and opened the door and there was my baby just sobbing. Somehow Charity had gotten Bobby in the dryer and Charity had closed the door and stood there until I found her. I was so mad at her that poor baby was so scared. She probably did something to Charity before that, but that's besides the point. Ha ha. Bobby had many, many adventures though, she would hide and then when I went to find her she wouldn't make a peep even when I Was close. Once we were at the church and I couldn't find her. I was looking everywhere, I started to get hysterical because I couldn't find her so my husband asked everyone too look around them. After about 30 minutes they finally found her. She was hiding under a bench and thought we were playing hide and seek, so when I would holler her name she would just be as quiet as could be so I wouldn't find her..talk about embarrassing.
Bobby is now 14 years old, I don't know how that happened seems like just yesterday she was just a baby depending on me for everything. She has gotten so independent, but I guess if she wasn't I would really be worried ha ha.
In the last two years Bobby has really come into her own, she knows how she believes about everything and sticks to it. She also is a very protective girl. She really protects the kids, and when they are sick she is right there worrying as much as me almost. She will make a very good mother one day.
Bobby wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up and when she finishes it I will post a picture of the very first Bobby Reed original purse. Should be done in a week. Or that's her guess it might take a little longer.
