Chatterboxes!!

~ 'tude ~

Emerson: "Don't talk to me!"
Mom: "Sorry Emerson, but I am your Mom and if I have something important to tell you, I'm going to talk to you."
Emerson: "No, don't talk to me.  I'm a big girl."

Emerson: "I don't want to wear this.  I want to wear a dress."
Mom: (pulls a sweater dress out of Emerson's closet)
Emerson: "NOT THAT DRESS!  I don't like that dress."
Mom: "Why?"
Emerson: "It doesn't twirl."

Can't argue with that!!

Emerson: (runs into our room at 7 am this morning) "Hey guys, why didn't you wake up?"

She scared the crap out of us!!!!

~ questions ~

Blake (while watching Max and Ruby): turns to me with an innocent, sweet, lip half curled smile, "Mom?  How old do you think he is?"
Mom: "Who?"
Blake: "Max"
Mom: "I'm not sure buddy.  What do you think?  Around 2 maybe?"
Blake: gives a little giggle and says, "I think he's more like 3.  Just like Em.  He's about as tall as her!"

Honestly, the look on his face, the tone of his voice, everything was just so FLIPPIN' SWEET :) :)

Blake (after a conversation and Internet search about Albert Einstein with Cal): "Where is Albert Einstein?"
Mom: "He's in Heaven."
Blake: "With God?"
Mom: "Yes."
Blake: "Well how come we don't see him when we go to that place?"
Mom: "What place??"
Blake: "You know, with that guy."
Mom: "What??  Ohhh ... Church??"
Blake: "Yeah."
Mom: (laughing) "Heaven is not at Church Blake." (Heaven discussion ensued!!  None of which made much sense (of course) to Blake!!)
Blake: "Am I going to Heaven?"
Mom: "Yes, of course.  But not for a long, long time." (oy)

Reese: all day long, "Moooommmy ... Mommy?  Mommmmmmmmmyyyyy ... Mooooommyyy?"
Me: all day long, "Yes Reese?  What's wrong Reese?  Come here Reese. Yes Reese?  What do you need Reese?  Let's go play Reese.  Are you hungry Reese?  Yesssss Reese???"

She loooooves saying Mommy!!!  She also says Daddy, thirsty, blankie, teddy, baby, and cheese string!!!  lol!  She also loves to watch Heidi do her "job" outside and stand at the back door saying, "Heeedi ... Heidi ... HEIDIIII!!" 

Love all the chatter (most of the time!)!  Never a quiet moment in the day ;)

Have a great weekend everyone!  Isn't the weather fabulous?!  Thanks Mother Nature!!!
