Emma's Daddy

It melts my heart when Emma goes over to David, gives him a kiss and/or a hug and says "Emma's Daddy", "my Daddy", "Emma loves Daddy", (or my favorite) "You make you so happy" (see last post re: how she calls herself "you"). Emma absolutely adores her daddy and why shouldn't she? He is the most patient, caring and thoughtful daddy ever. He loves to spend one on one time with her; often taking her out on his own and staying home alone with her when I go away or out for the day.

Emma and her daddy's most favorite thing to do together though, is making coffee! Emma does everything from scooping and grinding the beans, to putting the filter in and getting the water! It's the cutest thing EVER to see them making coffee together!

scooping the beans


I love to make coffee!


Getting the water


Dumping the water


Pushing the button to start it!


We are so blessed to have the best daddy (and for me, husband) ever!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, DAVID/DADDY!

(I made and had this printed for David)

Also, Happy Father's Day to MY Daddy! I love you!



AND also to my father in law (you know who you are, Dumpus)!!

Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful dads out there...have a great day hanging out on the couch, watching TV w/ your hand halfway down your pants!

It's all about YOU

I don't know if I've mentioned it before or not, but Emma refers to herself as "you". For example, instead of saying "I'm hungry" she'll say "you're hungry". Or instead of "I gotta go poop", she says "you gotta go poop". Which, consequently, she says QUITE often as a diversion! If she is upset about something or she is in trouble for something, she'll cry and say "You gotta go poop!". Funny? Yes, at first. Now it is annoying as well as embarrassing when we are public. First of all, she says it rather loud. Second of all, she doesn't really have to go poop, she is using it as a diversion tactic. Smart. So we ignore it and people look at us like aren't you going to take her to the bathroom? Um, no.

Don't get me wrong, the "you" part is hilarious. It's really, very cute. So much so that I started to correct her and stopped because I thought she won't be little that much longer OR saying this forever, so I let it go. It's actually a big step for me and my OCD. Hahaha.

I am sharing a little video of her singing "You Are My Sunshine". Listen carefully, she says "you make YOU happy, when skies are gray". SOOOOOOO CUTE!
