Motivational Quote of the day......

Emily got up in the middle of the night again so none of us had a great night of sleep which puts us running late and on edge the next morning. So I was fussy, and Emily was fussy right back. Teenage years are going to be great I can tell already! So we are finally in the car and this is our conversation:

Emily: "Mom, you aren't being very nice."

Me: "Well, you've been fussing at me all morning. Let's just be quiet and listen to your cd."

Emily: "Mom, No Whining!"

What do you do when your 2 yr old puts you in your place? I was a little hot and bothered but she is right, so NO Whining! Thought of the day....

Christmas at Chic Fil A

We met Elijah and his mom at Chic Fil A to exchange presents and let the kids play. We didn't know it was Polar Express Night. 1,000 kids in their pj's, Polar Express playing on the wide screen, free food, hot cocoa, a giant cow, and Santa. Wonder why Scott didn't want to go? Chicken!

Merry Christmas 2010

Here are some wonderful pics of Emi. She is turing into quite the Miss Priss. I love it! She loves jewelry and having her nails painted. She is obssessed with Avon books. Like, sleeps with them every night obsessed. She is so smart and articulate. She wrote an "E" for the first time yesterday in daycare. Wow! I don't mean to brag but I think she is awesome. This time last year she was hospitalized and diagnosed with Asthma. This year we were all healthier, praise God! We are truely blessed. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night....

Polka Dot at 5 in the Morning

This morning Emily came into our room about 5:45 and said Mom come help me. I followed her to her room where she took off her pull-up, demanded big girl panties and then dug in the dirty clothes basket for her favorite polka dot dress. She has worn this polka dot dress for 3 days at the house. It is covered in dirt and food. I told her she could wear it for a little while but then had to wear clean clothes to school. She wasn't happy but didn't pitch a tantrum. This is her in her favorite dress and then a pic of what she actually wore school....

Cute Emily sayings....

My, My since Emily has turned 2 she has obtained quite an extensive vocabulary. Most of the time there is a lot of endless chatter.

Some funnies...

She can count to 10 in Spanish. Thanks Dora the Explorer!!

She wants to call people on the phone but won't talk when they answer.

She answers the phone when telemarketers call. I love it :)

She now calls me and Scott, Mom and Dad

Yesterday she was watching TV while I was getting dressed. She saw me put on my bra and said, "Mom you put on your boobs". "Yes, honey I'm putting on my boobs." What can I say, the bra must make a difference.

Every day is something new. I'll keep 'em coming.

Summer 2010

My favorit pic so far from Summer 2010. We went to the lake to see the fireworks for the 4th of July. Now everytime we go to the lake Emily expects there to be fireworks.

Emi pee, peed in the potty, pee peed in the potty....

Yes, I am one of "those" moms that bribes her child to use the potty. For poops she gets mini M & M's. Emily is doing so well with potty training. I can't believe it at 2 yrs old!! It has been really easy. I took a pic of her first poop. Yuck. Emi you can better believe that I'm showing it to your first boyfriend.
