I'll post some pictures later, but I thought I would share some more "Emmaisms" for you until then...

Emma has really gotten into praying lately and asking for us to pray for different things. Today after letting go of a balloon and losing it to the grocery store rafters, she told Tim, "Pray I go up high to get balloon." But then she thought about it more and said, "Balloon up high. Annie can't pop." Annie has popped several balloons. Hmmm... Tough decision to pray to go up high and get the balloon or keep it safe away from the terrier...

Emma has also started using many of our phrases, sometimes correctly and sometimes not. She now says "Mercy" quite frequently because of Grandma Hopie. And then yesterday she looked at Annie and said, "Gracious Annie!" She's also started saying "Oh my gosh" (not really my favorite, but I think she learned it from me) but doesn't quite have the use down pat. Today she randomly said "Oh my gosh" after zipping her backpack. And then later she said, "More cereal. Oh my gosh."

I also get a kick out of the little mixups Emma has with her words. It's really cute. Picnic is "picpic," band-aid is "bandant," and Bob the Builder is "Bob the Boulder." Too fun.
