Going for the mail!

Practical Emily

Is it too soon to think about Christmas? No? Good! Little Miss Em has been pondering those same thoughts. Four year old little girls love all things sparkly, princessy, and girly-twirly. We expected nothing less from our little one.

Emily obviously has other plans. Here is what she will be asking Santa to bring her.

1. A blue see through acrylic toilet seat for her bathroom.

2. A bathroom vanity for her bedroom.

3. A new ceiling fan that looks like a flower for her room.

4. A clock that says "it's seven o'clock, can you wake up".

No frills here. Pure practicality.

The blue toilet seat? Because it's blue. My favorite color. And it's see through!!! Jeepers!!

The bathroom vanity for the bedroom? Because it has doors. I can put books and things in it. And I can fit inside it. And close the doors! And, and, and it has a sink!!!!

The ceiling fan that looks like a flower? Because it's sooo pretty!

The clock? Because it tells you things and when to wake up!

Oh, in case you forget Emily? Highly unlikely!!!!!

The girl is very, very practical. Functionality here people. Riley said she still has time to ask for vinyl replacement windows!!! Hee hee!

We can't wait for her to sit on Santa's lap this year! I wish we could record it. We told her it was a very good list. I guess a gift certificate to Lowe's is in order?

Now for the language skills:

E. "Mommy this is tupendous!"

Me. "Emily, it's SSSSStu-pendous."

E. "oh, like one pendous, two pendous, three pendous."

Me. Bwahahahahahaha

Teaching moment-GONE! Laughter is really much better! And last, but not least.....

"Mommy I definate love you!"

My God we love her!!!

Remembering 9/11

Remembering to be thankful.

Proud

Rest in Peace Ted. We are proud to have lived in Massachusetts and proud to be Democrats. We will teach our little one how great a family the Kennedys are and how great a state Massachusetts is!

Our sympathies to the Kennedy family .

Where has our baby gone. Look at how all her baby-ness has been shed. She is a little girl!!! She has changed right before our eyes-literally! We can't believe she is FOUR already. Make it stop.

Some things she has said lately:

1. Oh my God, I think I'm in trouble! (as she reached the top of a rope ladder and couldn't quite make the leap over)

2. Good night you both! (heard on the monitor at bedtime)

3. Oh good lord, who's gonna clean this mess. (surveying her playtime mess)

4. You stay in the kitchen mommy I'm gonna do my bills.

5. I'm too tired for sleep I think I need new batteries.

6. Can I have some coffee please?

7. I think I need a cuddle.

She says so many cute things and sometimes things she shouldn't say. We have to stifle our laughs lots of times! She was having a time out this week, she really doesn't care for them, and she tries to bargain her way out. She's at the table and we were right by her side in the kitchen telling her she cannot be fresh. So she says, "I'm sorry mommy. Okay? You're a genius!" She knows exactly what she's doing.

I TOLD YOU SHE WAS BRILLIANT!

Ooooooops!

Let's see....what have we missed....oh yeah. Happy Valentine's Day, Happy President's Day , Happy St. Patrick's Day, Happy Easter, Happy Mother's Day, Happy Memorial Day, Happy Flag Day, Happy Father's Day and Happy Birthday to everyone. Oh, and Happy all the Jewish Holidays too. So very sorry for not posting pictures or stories for awhile. I will be posting again soon though. So stay tuned. For now I found these videos in my stash. You will not believe how much Emily has changed. Here are the links :http://www.photoshow.com/watch/IR5yr2Er . http://www.photoshow.com/watch/mw5wA8GD . http://www.photoshow.com/watch/ST3Kg2Yh .Change really has come. I promise, promise, that I will update with more recent photos. After all, this baby is now FOUR YEARS OLD! It's hard to believe that this little sweetheart is now capable of saying "mommy this cat is being a ping of the ask"! I don't know where she gets that from!

Change

Change has come for America!

As Bill and I watched on T.V., he was surprised to see Cheney in a wheelchair...

He says " What happened to him? Did the door hit him in the ass on the way out?!!!!!

Go Obama!
