Memory Verses

actually...

Me: Emma, who goes with Aunt Bri.
Emma: Uncle Evan.
(pause)
Emma: Acutally.... Uncle Evy!

funnies daddy has remembered

I know lately I have loved when coming home and she will run to meet me and give a big hug and I will say I love you punkin and she will say… you missed me! As if like of course you missed me daddy. And I will of course have to agree and she will say I miss you too. Its just super cute.

Normally when I get up I get her cereal and milk on saturdays. Well emma was especially impatient this past Saturday. So either I typically get her her cereal first or maybe she just really wanted her cereal but I went to the cupboard to get a cup and said… daddy no cereal in there and openned the pantry door for me.

There was the time when we asked her about who she loves. We tend to ask her who loves her and she would say mommy daddy and Jesus. Then that one time I asked her who she loved and she said after a short pause… emma! And I said well yeah but who else? And she said… boys!

You could tell the story about when I was takin a shower after you left with papa russ to go to the hospital to see chi. I thought I heard a door open so I peak through the door and emma had gotten out of room. And snuck into our bed… pulled back the covers and snuggled on in. I don’t know if she new I was in the bathroom and was just sneaky or if she didn’t see anyone around and thought well I might as well sleep in the big bed…

patience

In the car while I was on the phone with John...

Emma: Mommy, I want my glasses.
(I ignore and continue chatting)

Emma: Mommy, I want my glasses.
(still ignoring)

Emma: Mommy, I want my glasses.
Me: Emma, you need to be patient, okay?

Emma: Okay. (pause) but I want my glasses.

sorry, Dora

John and Emma were watching Dora.

Dora: Let's sing a silly song!
Emma: NO!
(John didn't hear what was said on the show)
John: Emma, what did you say?
Emma: No, I don't want to do a silly dance!

i seriously cannot get over how much this girl says "actually"!!

adam, dinosaur just isn't creative enough

While playing with her dinosaurs this morning...

emma: mommy, this kangaroo-saurus!

"dinosaur hungry. It bite my toes".

dino to emma: "mommy mommy I need you!"

dino to emma: "I miss you mommy I miss you!".

She has dinos biting each other one minute and then BIG hug the next.

"There are baby dinos, mommy dinos, and daddy dinos."

changed her mind

I want mommy do it. ACTUALLY, I want both mommy AND daddy do it.

****
mommy: Emma, do you want to wear your black sweater?
emma: No, I wear my yellow hawkeye shirt. (dramatic pause) ACTUALLY, yeah I wear sweater.

(what two-yr-old says "actually" properly?)

hooked on phonics

After watching her leap frog letter factory video (phonics)...

I wanna play a G-G-G-GAME, Mommy!

Happy Birthday!

Emma: GET. IN. TUB!
Daddy: Punkin', boys and girls don't take baths together.
