Baby Em poo'ing all over her bed at nap time and rolling around in it. Then destroying her room while I clean it up.
Girlfriend likes to swat at the spoon while I feed her--put her fingers in her mouth and then all over her face--and LOVES to get a big bite in her mouth and then blow bubbles at me.
I left Sage happily drawing in my office one morning. She came running in to me with big tears rolling down her cheeks and silent sobs. I asked her what was wrong, to which she replied:
"I drew a princess but it went wrong. She is so scary looking and her mouth is a big O and it's just all wrong!"
After I saw the picture, I completely understood the tears. Scary!
Trying to cure boredom and beat the heat:
Sage came home from preschool one afternoon. I asked
what she learned about and she said, "DENTISTS!!! Now let's go brush my
teeth so I don't have to ever go see the dentist!"
Clint and I have been in awe of little Sage lately. She has always been our super happy child, but lately it's just amazing. She NEVER stops smiling. She is bursting with energy and happiness all day long. She is constantly talking and dancing and asking questions. She is always saying the funniest things so matter-of-factly and it kills me! The other day I went in to help her wipe after she went the bathroom. She said very seriously, "mom. I didn't even have to push at all to get that poop out of me. It just slithered and slimmed its way right out all on it's own. Isn't that crazy?" She makes comments like this all of the time and I really should just carry a recorder around with me all the time so I could catch every little thing she says and keep it with me forever. When she comes in my room each morning to wake me up, she will poke me on the face and say "poke! it's morning time!" with a huge grin on her face. If I ever have to wake her up from a nap, she is IMMEDIATELY happy. She smiles so big and will say, "well that was a short nap! Now what are we going to do?" She melts my heart so much and I am so in love with her. She is a genuinely sweet, loving, caring and sensitive little girl and we are so lucky to have her in our family.

I bring our entire toy room and panty to church each Sunday in hopes of keeping this gal entertained for three hours. It is rarely enough.
Emery LOVES when my phone when is set to take pictures where you can see yourself. She just stares at it and thinks it is the coolest thing.
So does Sage. :)
We started a new family tradition. Movie and treats every Friday night on the floor before bed. Tinkerbell the first week, Sleeping Beauty the second. The girls LOVE this and we usually end up wrestling for half the movie. See little Charlotte here? Well I guess it's only fair I write a few things about this little booger. Charlotte REFUSES to let us call her Char. Or Charly. Or princess Charlotte. If we slip up, she is quick to remind us that "I'm not Charly! I'm Charlotte!!!" She is our sassy, spunky, sometimes very naughty child. She knows how to work us and when to turn on the charm big time. There are two sides to our little Charlotte. She can be ultra sweet and loving one second and then turn around and beat you upside the head the next. She wakes up from naps very cross, especially if you wake her up early. When she comes in to wake me in the mornings, she says, "mom. I want milk and vitamin and a movie." Then she will walk out and wait on the couch for me to do her bidding. She is such a stinker! She is ALWAYS picking on Sage and goading her. When I ask her to do something, she will roar at me and say no until I start counting to 3. Then she knows I mean business. I can always get her to do things but it's never easy with her. She makes us work for it most days, but then there are the days where she just wants to snuggle with everyone and love on me and plays so sweetly with Sage and is just an angel. I think she just likes to make sure she doesn't get left out and is making sure she doesn't get the middle-child syndrome. :) She is my loner child. She does well playing with others, but she is SUPER content to play by herself for hours on end. She can sit and watch movies all day without moving a muscle if I let her- but once she's up, she is UP. She plays hard and sleeps hard and eats like two bites of food in between, which may explain her petite little bod. I LOVE my little Charlotte. I love the way she wraps her arms and legs around me when I carry her and just holds on so tight to me. She is my little (and I mean LITTLE) lady and I can't imagine not having her with me every day.
