I came downstairs to Lauri and Emmy sitting at the kitchen table tonight. Lauri was scouring over the Sunday paper looking for coupons and such while Emmy finished up her snack and watched Hanna Montana. She'd been playing on the Spiderman Slip 'n Slide in the backyard for hours and her hair was still damp and tangled. Her green and white bathing suit was soaking through her little sun dress. She just looked so sweet and pretty. I went over to her and kissed and loved on her. Especially lately, she and I have been so incredibly close and she's always climbing up into my lap, jumping up into my arms, she wants me to carry her around the house, etc. I, of course, am loving every minute of it (while it lasts).
So, I just start telling her all wonderful things about her. I told her she's kind and sweet, caring and interesting, beautiful and loving, very smart and hardworking, unique, special, and hilarious. I told her that every person should have an Emmy.
Then, a conversation between Lauri and I about a kid that really smarted off to me a few days ago. Without going into detail, I really put him in his place. Lauri was surprised, but I said I'd do the same thing to any of the kids' friends. And, I'd be much harder on Jacob if he ever talked to me or anyone else like that. I told Emmy that she doesn't even wanna know how much trouble she'd get in if I ever heard her talk like that (knowing she's never do that anyway). Then I told her that I know she'd never do anything like that 'cause she's far too kind to say those mean things.
Here comes the funny part... She's looking at me like she's waiting for something else.
Emmy: "And...?!"
Me: "And what? What do you mean?"
Emmy, waving both her hand in the air,
"Come on, MAKE WITH THE WORDS!"LOL! Apparently, she quickly got used to me saying all those wonderful things about her and was still fiending for more! LOL!
