Funny kids!

Sometimes, Emma says some of the funniest things I have ever heard come out of a child's mouth! I wonder where she gets some of the stuff she says... But, she is also at an age where she is starting to correct US! The other day she told me "Don't talk to me like that Mommy, you say PLEASE!" I was telling her to pick up her toys! I guess it is good to that she knows her manners but it isn't so fun trying to keep a straight face and tell her she still needs to do what I say. She is also very sweet with Owen. She makes up songs to sing to him and gives him hugs and kisses all day long.

Last night when I was putting Owen down, I was sitting in the rocker singing him the lullaby we always sing for him. She came in to show me her coloring page and saw that I was putting him to sleep so she came over so quietly and put her hand on the arm of the chair and sang to him with me. I got teary just seeing how sweet and loving she was! I didn't know she knew the words to Owen's song but apparently she does. She picks out which songs we sing to her at night and sings them with us so I know she knows her songs, but not his. She is just the most darling little girl. After a minute or so, she left and I heard her go all the way down to the family room (if you have ever been in our house you know how many stairs there are from our master bedroom!) and get her Ozzy. She came back up and was patting Ozzy like I was patting Owen and she sang him the same songs I was singing. Just too cute!

Here are some videos from yesterday... Emma singing and "reading" a book. Owens favorite pastime, jumping in his Jumperoo! We had a lot of fun yesterday despite the fact that I have a tooth problem and it has caused the whole side of my face to swell up... not so fun! The dentist put me on antibiotics yesterday, so hopefully the swelling will go down soon. It doesn't hurt so, that is a good thing! I just hope I don't have to walk around looking like Frankenstein for much longer :(

Emma reading Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? Yes, I know the book is in spanish! She can "read" most of it in spanish too!

Owens new favorite pastime...


Emma singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star...

I had to put this photo in... We were watching the RNC together when Emma stood up on Craig's lap and started clapping and cheering for Sarah Palin! We have a little Republican! It was SO, SO funny!
