Some Stuff...

Here's some random stuff about Emily:

1. Chalk is pronounced "chick".
2. Shirt is pronounced...well...without the 'r'.
3. She asks for cake all day long. We don't have cake. We never have cake. Unless it's her birthday. It's not her birthday.
4. When she gets an owie, she MUST have a bandaid to make it all better. The other day she got something in her eye and she insisted on a bandaid. She was upset for a bit when she didn't get one. And then yesterday she had a bit of chalk on her big toe and she asked for a bandaid.
5. She likes to fake fall. She'll be walking along and then all of a sudden she is flat-out on the floor. She appreciates it when you ask her if she's okay. Her response usually is "I nuh." Which I'm guessing means "I'm okay".
6. Rake is pronounced "rick". There is a book that has a rake in it and she'll go to that page and say, "Rick," and then scratch the page with her hand in a raking motion. Makes me think of catching The Raker...
7. Emily: "Mess! Mess!" Me: "Did you make a mess?" Emily: "No." But she'll lead me right to her mess and point and say, "Mess!" Sometimes she'll help me clean up her mess.
8. Lollipop is pronounced "Hah pop." She loves her some hah pops.
9. Thank you is pronounced "Git tee." I don't know why. I try to get her to say it right. But at least she says it, in her own way.
10. She loves to brush her teeth! Yay!
11. We're still working on her saying all the letters of the alphabet. She still says "Iggy" at letters she doesn't want to say. She doesn't want to say F, G, V, and W. The others she will say.
12. She doesn't want to say her numbers either. She now counts like this: "Two, five, two, five, two, five." At least she's added another number in there. It used to be "Two, two, two..."
13. Five is pronounced "By".
14. When Emily sees a picture of herself, she proudly says, "You!" If you ask her who she is, she is you.
15. If you tell her not to touch something, the next time she sees it she'll say, "No no touch."
16. One of her first sentences: "Oh gosh! Wow! BOOKS!" when we went to a bookstore.
17. When I fix dinner, she wants to watch/help, so she'll say, "I sit," and then she'll pull up a chair next to where I'm working. This morning while making her eggs, she was standing on her chair watching me cook and she stole a cookie that was sitting on a cooling rack from last night. Mmm, eggs and cookies for breakfast!
18. If she can't find something, she'll wander the house saying, "Weh yah youuuu?" or "Wheddigo?"
19. When she finds what she's looking for, she says, "Theh-ee yeh!"
20. She loves to fake laugh. If you're laughing at something funny, she'll join in, even though she has no idea what you're laughing at.

Oh, I have a funny story! The other day we were laying down for a late nap. It'd been several hours since I had eaten and I was a little hungry. All was quiet, we were snuggled together, and then my tummy growled. Emily sat up and said, "What's that?" I started giggling and then she said, "Momma, poopoo!" and then she lifted the covers up to look for, I'm guessing, the poopoo. I died laughing! It took us a while to get settled back down to sleep.
