Funnies from Emily

In my January recap, I can't believe I forgot to mention that we celebrated Emily's fourth birthday.  How can she be four already?  She makes us laugh all the time.  Here are some funnies from her:

  • "Mom, if you would let me have a baby brother you would never have to worry.  I would feed him and change him and clean up his throw up."  Me, "God could send us a baby sister."  Emily, "No, I'm only interested in a brother."  This was out of the blue one day after dropping Lauren off at school.
  • "It isn't fair!  I need a real live person to sleep with.  You get to sleep with daddy, but I've got nobody!"  Emily is totally over having her own room and wants to move back in with Lauren.
  • "Daddy, when I get married, I'm going to have a beautiful pink Belle dress, gold shoes, and I'm going to wear a crown in my hair."  Jason's response, "She is four and she is already planning her wedding!"
  • "Daddy, instead of Quiet Mouse, let's play the one that talkest the mostest wins!"
Emily is definitely a talker.  A couple of weeks ago, when picking her up from the childcare at the gym, the worker informed me that "she knew EVERYTHING there was to know about our family thanks to Emily!" I asked Emily what she told the worker and she said, "I told her that you loved Nana.  Then I made up a bunch of stuff I thought would be a funny joke!"  Fabulous!  When I drop her off in Sunday School, I always wonder what in the world she is telling her teachers, too.  I guess we need to work on not sharing the family secrets!
