Each morning I have to water my flowers, I take all three kiddos and the two dogs with me. We were currently in the front yard and Emma is tromping through the grass watching the dogs eat the grass. She was staring very intently when I watched her bend down and try to eat the grass like the dogs. She didn't think it tasted very good.
September--13 months old
My parents were in town visiting and we decided to go out to breakfast to one of the kid's favorite breakfast places--Cracker-barrel. I am getting out of my car with my coffee in hand, proceeding to walk up to the restaurant when my mother (without a word) takes my coffee from me. I gave her a puzzled look and she replies "what about the baby?"....you know you have had a long week when you remember the coffee but yet forget the baby. Disclaimer: I forgot her for a total of 30 seconds.
October--15 months old
I caught Emma brushing her teeth this morning. Unfortunately it was with her brothers toothbrush and she was standing next to the toilet....I will let you connect the dots! Ugh!
2017--2 years old
Emma asked me to take her potty and she was obviously trying to go poop when she ripped a huge fart. Without even missing a beat she yells out "Start your engines"! (What!?!)
July 2017--3 years old
We have been in the process of moving and its a lot of work for my 7 month pregnant body and I was tired. Meanwhile, Emma is bouncing off the walls and carrying on like any normal three year old would do. I look over at her and ask "Can I have some of your energy?" Without even missing a beat she responds with "It's coffee!" --OH MY WORD! She is so my child!
October 2017
Emma came to me and exclaimed in a dramatic voice "mom *sigh*, I need something chocolate." I laughed so hard and then told her I completely understood how she felt.
November 2017
Kenzie and I were discussing being able to count to 20 and Emma piped up and exclaimed "I can count to twenty! 1...2...3...20! See! I told you I could.". ;)
December 15, 2017
Emma and I were doing phonics together and we had picture cards layed out that she had to name and then match the rhyming words together. We got to the word "cake" and she exclaims "CAKE!"... (and then whispers to herself) "Oooo, I like cake". A few minutes later I instructed her to sit on the brown chair. She gets up, points to the chair in confusion and asks "what color is this?" I respond with "brown-y". She leans in to be and whispers "momma, you just said brownie". (I think I know what's on her mind)
January 2018
I took Emma on a date to Jump time and then to Chic-Fil-A for dinner. After eating I asked her if she wanted ice cream or hot chocolate as her special treat for dessert. She immediately responded with ice cream so I walked up to the counter, ordered ice cream and brought it back to her. Once she was done eating it she then asked for some hot chocolate. I calmly reminded her of my question and how she chose ice cream as her special treat. She looked at me with her big, innocent eyes and replied "Well, I changed my mind". Hahahahaha I then had to explain how it doesn't work like that. ;)

Colton and Makenzie have been enrolled in a P.E. co-op in our area and have been talking about how they get to go to Yoga all day today. In the car on the way there, Emma asks "can I get out of the car and go in with you and Kenzie and Colton?" When I responded with an affirmation that she was able to go inside with us she announced... "YES! I have been wanting to see what Master Yoda looks like!" (Yoda...Yoga) ;) Ha!
