a few things i want to remember

emi is changing at such a rapid rate.

it's sad and scary how quickly she is growing up

and lately she has been doing some things i wanted to remember.

emi eating out of her "treat" bag!

i left the room for a few minutes and came back to a purple mouth and hands.

i decided, what the heck... let her live a little

she would spit out all yellow, green and orange jelly beans

which is funny because when not given a choice she will eat any color.

i said to her, o.k. don't tell daddy.

what happens the second he comes home?

daddy, me eat! while pointing to the jelly beans.

it's been raining her for days and she has insisted on being wrapped up.

and says brrr... me cold!

i also have been putting socks on her 

and she insists on taking them off for nap time

but wants them back on once she wakes up. silly girl.

speaking of nap time. today i said ok, let's go read some books, it's nap time.

she said, no! i mah (mad)!! i said your what?

so she swung her arm and said it louder, i mah (mad)!

i said oh, your mad it's nap time...in which she said uh huh with a big smile.

i think we are finally making some progress with her talking.

emi has been fascinated by the rain 

and we have been singing a lot of the wise man song.

along with popcorn popping because her favorite snack is popcorn.

the last few days emi has had a hard time settling down 

and falling asleep on her own.

so she's been giving us the poop excuse, is what we call it.

we have a routine that never changes.

bath, p.j's, brush teeth, books, potty, another book, prayer and into bed.

and right after we end our prayers she holds her butt and says poop!

if we say no she cries, if we say ok she giggles the whole way to the bathroom.

so we have been just saying this is your chance when she goes potty before bed

and let her cry it out...crossing our fingers she won't actually poop. ha!

another thing i wanted to remember was her first actual more than two word sentence.

she had popcorn the day before and had left her bowl in our room

when she came into our room the next morning

she walked right by her empty popcorn bowl and gasped!

she said: oh no! me(my) popcorn is all gone!

i said what?, from shocked at what i had just heard.

in which she repeated it again.

this is going by way too fast!!
