We went to the park this afternoon, and there were acorns all over the ground. Emily knew just what they were - she said "Look Mama, acorns - they're for the birdies to eat."
Then she held an acorn up high and beckoned with her other hand, and said "Come here, birdies!"
This afternoon I was sitting at my desk, checking my classwork and skimming through my emails, when I heard an odd noise behind me. I turned around and Emily was standing in the corner of the living room, taking sips of her juice and then spitting the juice onto the carpet!
She was practicing diligently, and was very startled when I called her name and told her to stop it! I wanted both to bop her on the head and to just fall down laughing. However, I held it together and simply tried to explain to her that it's okay to spit when she brushes her teeth, but that she mustn't spit on the carpet.
My daddy had a birthday, and he said his favorite birthday present was from Nana Jo and Grampa. We went to the store and I got to sit in a bunch of different chairs. Daddy found a big comfy purple rocking chair. I didn't pay much attention to it at the store, because there were so many other things for me to look at. But then they brought the purple chair to my house, and now I love it! I have to keep telling Daddy to move out of my rocking chair, cause he likes to sit in it too.
Tonight, Daddy had to go to a meeting, so Mama and I had a girls' night in. After I took my bath, Mama let me stay up and watch a movie with her. She brought me my blankie and some juice, and I was all nice and comfy. During the movie, I took some time to work on my multi-tasking skills.
See how good I look in this chair? Don't you think this should be my chair, instead of Daddy's?
