SILLY GIRL

I kept coming up with all the funny stuff that Emerson has done or said and I thought that I would share it. From the mouth of babes…

“I’m OK mama” (this is used frequently, not just after a fall down but sometimes just out of the blue!)

“Come on people! Let’s go!” (I have NO IDEA where she might’ve learned this one.. Not ME certainly!)

“OHHHHH TOOOOOODLES!” (Mickey Mouse says this and she has adopted it as her own. Apparently the trick is to shout it at the top of your lungs. She has taken to calling our dog, Sydney, using this.)

“NOT TODAY”. (It’s so hard not to smile every time she says this which is usually when you actually want her to do something like eat her dinner or stop playing in Sydney’s water dish.)

“Need tissue mama”. (No she doesn’t first of all! I’ve discovered that this means that she actually wants to empty the entire Kleenex box and then continue by shredding as many as possible before getting caught. Again, this is hilarious but I’d hate to encourage it so I have to pretend to be stern and have her pick it all up.) SEE IMAGE ABOVE!

So, I know that I am completely out of the running for “Mother of the Year” but I try hard to give Emmy all that she needs and I have recently discovered that perhaps I need to step it up a notch in the meal department. The other night I asked Em what she’d like for dinner and she responded “BooBerry Pancakes? Cereal? Waffles?” I then realized that those have kind of become our main dishes as of late because I haven’t had time (or the energy!) to make a “real” dinner.

I’ll stop here but I’m already looking forward to hearing Emerson’s sweet voice say all sorts of new things.
