Quotes from the week

A few lines heard in our house this week.

I handed Emma a whisk to mix the pancake batter with. She said "oh good, I get a whisker."

Emma was asking about Florida. She asked if we were going to go back there and live there again. I said "I don't think so." Then she asked "is daddy going to come back to Virgina to live with us again?" Trying to keep my heartbreaking cringe invisible "of course!"

I give Emma a big hug after she gets up from nap time and she says "mom, don't squash me."

Emma coming out of her room with just her head though the head hole of a shirt trying to find where her arms go "I can't find any of my holes."

Emma bringing me her underpants and asking me to help her put them on. I say "why don't you practice doing it yourself and then ask me." She says "why don't you practice putting them on me first?" Cheeky.

Asking Andrew to bring me something from across the room he gets it and runs over saying "Al rescate" (That's Diego- to the rescue!)

Giving Emma a plate of spaghetti for dinner (which she LOVES) "awww, I only liked spaghetti last week not this week." Oh, boy.

Looking for her favorite plaid pants "mom, have you seen my square pants?"

When I was frantically looking for my missing wallet (for HOURS) Emma said (so sweetly and optomistically) "I know! We can use daddy's wallet." Silently growling I said "daddy's wallet is in Africa with daddy." She says "well, cheer up mommy, we'll find it." Who is the grown up in this paragraph?
