Emma Speaks [Vol. 13]

*We were staying the night at my grandma's in SD and I was laying with Emma until she fell asleep (because, toddler in a strange house) and we brought her musical turtle along that plays ocean sounds and projects waves onto the ceiling. She had her eyes closed and I was convinced she was asleep when the time ran out on the turtle. I was wrong* 

All of a sudden as I'm about to get up, I feel her little hand on my cheek and she whispers:

"Hollie. Turn my turtle back on." 

Eyeroll. 

------------------------------------------------

*We were snuggling on the couch when she handed me her pacifier.*

Emma: "Here. Hold this."

Not 30 seconds later

Emma: "Mumma! Where my paci go???" 

I just extend my hand which is still holding the pacifier she gave me

Emma (giggling): "Oh Mumma. You crazy cat." 

Yep. That's me. 

------------------------------------------------

*Landon pretended to take Emma's nose and eat it. So she did the same thing to him.*

Emma: "I got your nose! I'm gonna eat it!"

Pantomimes eating his nose

Emma: "Mmmm! Tastes like chicken!" 

Hilariously disturbing. 

------------------------------------------------

Emma: "Mumma, what's your name?"

Me: "You tell me... What's my name?"

Emma: "Your name's Mumma!" 

Me: "Sure! What's his name?" Pointing to Landon

No response from Emma

Me: "Is his name daddy?" 

Emma (giggling): "No! His name Wandon Wawson!" 

Well. She's not wrong. 

------------------------------------------------

*Emma was having a terrible day, and I was convinced she wasn't feeling well. The kids were in their high chairs eating lunch.*

Me: "Emma, do you feel okay?"

Emma (tearful): "No. I not feeling good."

Me: "I think you should take some medicine." 

Emma: "Okay. Mecine make me feel better."

Me: "Yes, it should make make you feel better!" 

Emma: "You make me feel better Mumma."

Rory starts to whine either for attention or more food or something...

Emma: "No Rory, it my turn. I sick. You hush." 

Can you say diva?!
