It's hot!

I have a habit of saying that Emmy is so “stinking cute”. The other day she said “it’s stinking by God hot”. I told her that we didn’t need to use the Lord’s name in vain and she said, “but Mama, it’s more than just stinking hot”.

 

Now that Emmy is able to buckle her own seatbelt, she usually hops in the car through my door and then climbs back to her seat. The other day we got in the car after church and she stopped in the middle of the car and raised her dress over her head to let the vent cool her off. I couldn’t say much because I would love to do the same thing.

 

This weekend we were in the backyard and as she was swinging on the tire swing, she cried out “JAPANESE!” I asked her why she was saying that and she said, “Japanese is how you say ‘wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee’ in Chinese”. Obviously, we need to work on her foreign language skills.

 

But, she has learned how to write her name. She is having some trouble with the M’s but I think that is a tough letter to master. She’s so proud of herself!

 

Her imaginary friend Lucy has really been getting her in trouble lately. When John or I get on to her for something, she says that she didn’t do it, Lucy did it. Then we go into a whole other issue of her telling stories. Last night, she woke up in the middle of the night and when she came to our bed, she told me that Lucy kicked her out of bed. I told her we were going to have a big talk with Lucy this evening and she would have to spend some time in time out.
