Emily has been coming up with some gems lately. They're not really gems because they're comedic gold; I mean, these are things that you would hear everyday; it's just that we don't always expect to hear them come out of a three-year-old. But when she delivers one, we struggle not to laugh out loud. She knows, too. She knows we think she's funny and that's why we try and stifle our laughs. We don't want her to stop saying these things and we don't want her to lose the spontaneity of it.
Yesterday we were driving home from Farm Boy, our favourite local grocery store. We were talking about how it would be nap time (or dodo time in our house) when we got home. "Because you really need a dodo today." says I. Emily: "That's for sure!"
And then today at lunch, she got up from the table without asking to be excused. John called her on it, she asked, I said: "I guess so although next time you should ask before you leave the table." Emily: "It's a little late for that now!"

she is so funny. and it's because she's clever. i can't wait to see her at christmas.
It's hard sometimes to stifle those giggles. It gets so much better when they are in school because they have this separate little life. There's nothing I love more than hearing Abby tell me about her day. It is the funniest thing ever.
