Emma!!

My child in a nutshell:

Me, "Emma you dropped blueberries and ceral on the floor. Can you pick them up?"

Em, "No. Truman will get them."

Me, "Em, Truman's a dog, not your maid."

Em, "Mama, Truman's not a DOG!! He's a GREYHOUND!!"

In the car on the way to preschool,

Em, "Asher did you fart?"

Asher, "NO!!"

Em, "It's okay if you did. Everyone farts. I fart. Mama farts. Truman farts. And Truman farts are stinky."

Em recieved two vaccinations and she informed me, "That lady hurt me. You know, the shot would be a lot better without the thorn on the end. You should tell her."

My mom's birthday was on the 28th. We called her to wish her a happy birthday and Emma asked, "Are we getting on a plane to see grammy after my nap?" I told her no. She then stated, "It's grammy's birthday. We have to fly to see her to celebrate. We can pack all of the ingredients for her cake in our luggage. Okay, mama?"

My favorite Emma quote usually happens when I lay with her in her bed. She often states, "Mama, I really really love you!" And at that moment she could do anything she wants.

Three dogs. . . .three separate techniques

I brought home three 36" bully sticks and gave each dog one. . . .

I realized that not only do they have three distinctively different personalities, they also have three different techniques for enjoying a mega-treat!

The old man guarded his

Mazie laid on hers.

But this method posed a problem with making progress.Truman laid his out and treated it like a cigar. . and was by far the most successful.and decided that sharing with his dinosaur was okay!
"what'cha lookin at? I'm not sharing with you too!"

New Camera

I finally broke down and bought a new camera. Not just any camera, a Canon Rebel EOS T3. At first I thought it was too much camera for me. . . . . I was tempted to return in.

Well, now I'm about 600 pictures in and have decided its a keeper.
