We are (hopefully) at the tail end of a couple weeks of chaos. We love our new home! We moved in May 12th and have been having some work done, which has meant we haven't had a functional kitchen yet... hopefully by Thursday. One of these days I will post some pictures, but in the meantime I have to jot down a few of the Emily words that make me smile.
"Snook" as the past tense of sneak. As in her gleeful smile when she asks the rhetorical, "Did I snook out of quiet time?"
"Ever ever" As in "I will not ever ever hurt you Mama." Or (after I warned her that if she fell off the deck railing and broke her arm, she wouldn't get to go swimming this summer), "I will not ever ever break my arm!"
"Why not can I?" instead of "Why can't I?" as in "Why not can I climb on the railing?"
Her "th" sound often comes out as "fl" as in "This finger is my flumb!"
Her rolled r sound (when trying to speak her Dora-inspired Spanish) comes out as a "d" as in "gadacias" for gracias. She also says "de mada" instead of "de nada".
Sometimes I wish I could just bottle her up at this age forever!
