"O-kay" times 3

Avery didn't know where her balloon was, and Emily told her it was upstairs. Well, Avery complained and said she didn't know where, and Emily annoyingly said, "O-kay. O-kay. O-kay! I'll show you. Come follow me Avery." As she proceeded to march up the stairs in a huff. Emily has been doing this a lot lately, and sometimes it just cracks me up. I should probably put a stop to it as she even does it to me when I tell her to do something. Like put on her shoes..."O-kay, O-kay, O-kay!" haha.

Very Formal

 Madisen came into the house after school today and I hugged her and asked how her day was like I do everyday but today I thought I would record our conversation.

Me: How was your day?

Madisen: It was good.

Me: What did you do today? Would you like a snack?

And then this is part of the conversation is what made me smile because she was so proper and funny when she said it...

Madisen: Well, there's something I need to tell you Mom. Uh, maybe not right now.....

Me: What's that?

Madisen: For specials today I had music. It was great. And I didn't get passed "N" today on rocket math, but I was close.

Me: Uh, that's ok, you will get it. We will keep practicing. What is it you want to tell me?

Madisen: ....Well, I couldn't find my lunch bag after school. I think it's lost!  But I have a friend that lost hers too and she got another one....

Me: Ok. Well that's ok. We'll find it eventually. And if we don't, no big deal. Is that what you wanted to tell me?

Madisen:  Yes. Well, anyways. Let's get back to that snack you were talking about. May I have one of those fruit snacks? Not the Tree top kind, the other kind, please?

Me: Uh, sure. (Kind of taken aback at first. It was so funny! I guess it was another one of those moments where you had to be there. It seemed to me she had just finished watching Pride and Prejudice the way she said everything! haha!)

Super Hero Emily to the Rescue!

Emily has been really into Super Heroes as of late, and I didn't know why until last week when we were over at our neighbors house for dinner and she dressed up in Caden's Spiderman outfit. She loves super heroes because Caden does, and I think she has developed a little crush on him. For Christmas she took her gift card to the store and wanted none else than the Super Hero Grover. She loves it! And just the other day she was saying how she wants to be a Super Hero for Halloween and even wants a Super Hero for Christmas.

Whatever she likes I guess, but then today while shopping at a craft store she picked out, what else, but a Super Hero coloring book and stickers.  It took some time getting used to playing and being dinosaurs with Madisen through the years, and now super heroes?? I just assumed my girls would like playing with dolls as I did. But no, it's all boy stuff. (Well, with Avery it's not. But 1 out of 3 is odd!) Not obviously there is nothing wrong or bad playing with boy stuff, not at all. It's just different than what I expected when I gave birth to my girls. I love them more than anything and maybe not having Ethan with us it gives me a glimpse of what it could be like having a little boy around. So thank you girls for being you and playing with whatever interests you.
