You and Emily had a great time today playing with all of the toys.  When it was finally time to go, you carried over this steering wheel toy, that had captured much of your attention, and told me that you were going to get it for in the car.  I responded that you were not going to get the toy and you said, "oh yes I am!"

*"Oh yes I am" and "Oh no I'm not" are becoming common for you.  Not even sure where you first heard them though.

We came home in time for lunch and I said that y'all could watch a show during lunch.  BUT, I said there would only be one and you both had to agree on it.  While Emily was shouting for Wild Kratts, you were begging for Super Why.  After a minute, Emily said, "okay, Super Why."  You immediately responded, "that makes me SO happy!!!"  You were so excited and said, "thank you, that makes me so happy, Emiwy!"  Emily's response... "you're welcome.  When you are happy that makes me happy."  Awwww.

Today we drove in the parking lot for Trader Joe's but had to turn back out to go to Ralphs.  You told me, "I am fwustwated cuz I want to go to Twader Joe's, not the gwocewy store."  (insert furrowed brow)

This morning you got your flu shot.  After she stuck you, you started crying and then cried out, "they gave me owies!"

Just now I told everyone that I was going upstairs to get changed for our family walk.  Your response, "don't go without me (self correct) us."

You are always listening - even when not being spoken to directly.

Tonight Emily referred to her fork as a dingle hopper like Scuttle in the Little Mermaid.  She was telling a tale (to herself) and said, "...and he said, that's a dingle hopper."  Unfamiliar with that movie, you interjected, "And he said, that's a fork, I mean."  You spoke as if you were Emily correcting herself.  It was very funny and very smart of you.

I just went into your room and it was dark.  When I picked you up (my turn to sing songs) you said, "sing me a song pwease, Mama."  I asked, "how did you know it was Mama?"  You said, "when you came in."  I asked, "did you see me or could you smell me?"  Your answer, "smell you."  Of course I asked what I smell like and you answered, "quesadilla." (That happens to be your favorite food, so I'll take it.)  I  was interested in hearing more so I asked you about everyone else...

Everett - "quesadilla"
Daddy - "french toast with cheese on top"
Emily - "bananas and grapes"

I will have to check in on the rest of the family later...  :)

Today I took a few animal crackers with 2 surprises as an after school snack/tide you two over while we run an errand snack when we picked up Emily.  When I pulled you out of the car at Emily's school you only had the two hidden chocolate almonds left in the bottom of the bowl.  You had pointedly saved them for last and as we approached the car to get back in you said (in a bit of a panic), "I don't want you to eat my chocolate, it's very special. It's very special for me, Emily!!"
