Emma Quotes: The March Addition

During the month of March I tried to write down anything that Emma said that made me giggle. Here are just a few...

"I'm glad I'm not a super hero. It's scary work."

"Can I wipe your bum, Ma?"

"I like just feets!" (While running around outside barefoot)

"I'm gonna put my shoes on and then swab the deck." (and she did, sweep the deck)

"I didn't even feel it when my hair got cut!"

At 5 am in my room, "I just can't think about unicorns and rainbows anymore!"

Great idea!

On the way home from my grandparents last night Emma had a little something to say...

Emma: Guess what! I know a great way for us to stay heal-fy.

Daddy: You do? What is it?

Emma: We should drink lots of smoothies because they are wealy heal-fy.

Mommy: Where did you hear that?

Emma: On TV! Silly!

The Days of Our Lives

A conversation with Emma...

Emma: Mommy, my mermaid knows all of her Days of Our Lives.

Mommy: She does?

Emma: Yup, she does!

His name is Nemo.

I was holding Ethan this evening and he was getting a little fussy...


Emma: I have a big sister in my belly. It doesn't say, "Wah, wah," and he's real quiet.

Mommy:They are usually really quiet when they are still in your tummy.

Emma:Oh, did you hear that? Oh, no that was my food making that noise.

Mommy: (smiles)

Emma: His name is Nemo, you know?

Emma says...

"Mommy, I am gong to run around like a crazy nudie!"

"Auntie Wauren is my bestest friend."

"I save my cuddles for my mommy and my kisses for E-sin (Ethan)"

"I am a princess and treat others with we-spect and kindness."

"My burfday is in Nobember."

upon seeing a candle in the bathroom, "Is it someone's burfday in here?"

Toothless no more!

Can you see it?

He looks thrilled to show it off doesn't he?

Ethan's first tooth finally broke through today, Friday, October 3rd. I think today is my Aunt Denise's birthday too (or if not it's pretty darn close...so HAPPY BIRTHDAY Aunt Dop-E-Nop-I-Sop-E). Ethan's tooth was long awaited and now we only have about another 19 left to go until he catches up with Emma. Who needs sleep anyway? Not this mommy!


We haven't had a "Poor Ethan" moment for a while so here is a fresh one for ya. Emma wanted to take Ethan "shopping" in our playroom the other day. It went something like this:

Emma: Mommy, Ethan wants to go shopping with me.

Mommy: Oh, he does?

Emma: Yup. Now put him in the back were big girls sit. I'll be REEEEEEAL careful.

Poor Ethan!

"Wanna see my Christmas tree?"

If you do not like to hear about poop stop here.


Ok you have been warned.

Emma: (running out of the bathroom) Momma, wanna see my Christmas tree?

Mommy: Sure where is it?

Emma: It's in the potty.

Mommy: (Following Emma) Ok...what are you talking about?

Emma: (Pointing at her latest deposit in the potty) See Mommy it's pointy like a Christmas tree.

Mommy: So it is.

Emma: Yup, the ants in my butt made it and a I pushed it out.


What??? Who is this child?

Emma....you "bonehead"

Josh was leaving for work today and I told him to take a book that a friend had given me.


Emma: What did Daddy say?

Mommy: He said he didn't want to take the book.

Emma: Why?

Mommy: I don't know...maybe he's a bonehead.

Emma: (giggles) What is Ethan doing?

Mommy: He's drinking his bottle.

Emma: He looks like a little bonehead too.

"Make it all Pretty"

Earlier today at our house...

Mommy: Emma want to play?

Emma: Ok, let's play dollhouse. That would be real fun!

Mommy: Ok, that sounds good. Go set it up and I'll play.

Emma: Ok, (runs towards dollhouse) wait how about if we have a party?

Mommy: In your dollhouse? That sounds great.

Emma: No Mommy! In my house. Make it all pretty and then my friends can come over.

Oh, Emma if it was only that easy.

Emma Talk

This morning I went to get Ethan from his nap. When I came down Emma had an apple in her hand.

Mommy: Emma are you having an apple?

Emma: Yeah, I want to eat it like a horse.

Mommy: A horse?

Emma: Yeah, so don't cut it up.

"There's another one in there"

This morning Emma was helping me get Ethan dressed and this is what she said...

Emma: Oh Ethan you are so cute! Mommy remember when Ethan was in your tummy?

Mommy:Yup, I remember.

Emma: I couldn't jump on you then or I would squish Ethan. Know what? There's another one in there (she touches my belly) See Mommy that's not your food.

Could she be any sweeter?

This morning Emma was watching Caillou, I know its's a terrible show (could that boy whine any more?). Anyway, Caillou was visiting his grandmother, well grandma is really fun and let Caillou help fold her laundry (gee thanks Grandma). After the episode Emma looked over at me and said, "Mom you're the best. Thanks for folding my laundry." She followed it up with a hug. I could just eat her, she is so sweet.

Emma's Day

Today Emma, Ethan, and I went to the mall and a few other locations that must remain a mystery. We had a few things to return or exchange and a father's day gift to buy. On the way to the mall Emma and I had a conversation very similar to conversations that we usually have in the car.

Emma: Where are we going?

Mommy: We are going to the store to buy daddy a present.

Emma: Why we buying daddy a present?

Mommy: Because Father's Day is coming so we have to get daddy a present like you bought for me on Mother's Day.

Emma: oh I remember.

a few minutes later...

Emma: Hey Mommy, today is Emma's Day.

Mommy: I know, everyday is Emma's Day.

I'm so Angry!

This weekend we went to Hanna's 4th birthday party. It was a princess party so Emma was totally in her element. They had a pinata there and Emma ended up with a baggie of candy. This morning she decided that it was a good time to try some of it out. She had a pack of Smarties and a Dum Dum lolly pop and then wanted more. This is our conversation from this morning...

Emma: I just want to have a yittle bit more.

Mommy: No, Emma you have had enough. We have to save some for another day.

Emma: Mommy, I am starting to feel very angry. Don't make me angry!

Mommy: I'm sorry you are angry Emma but you still can't have more candy.

Emma: Now I am going to be cranky for a yittle bit because I'm so angry!

Potty Training...the bribery begins

This morning...

Mommy: Emma lets put on your big girl panties so you can go on the potty.

Emma: Not right now. I'm not ready.

Mommy: Yes you are. You are a big girl. You get a potty prize from the box if you go on the potty. Want to look in the box?

Emma: Ok, I wanna look in there.

Mommy: Cool stuff huh?

Emma: I want to just touch the stuff in there.
She touches each thing with one finger

Mommy: Are you ready to put your big girl panties on now?

Emma: Yup, I'm ready now. Giggles. I just wasn't ready a minute ago.


Now if she would only sit on the potty.....
