Documenting

This is Miss Emalyn all decked out in her high heels making "cupcakes" for her babies. She is very into her babies these days.

Last week at MOPS, one of the mentor moms was talking to us about how to slow down and enjoy life because it goes by so fast. She had a little notebook that she kept when her kids were little and wrote down funny things they said or did. I so wish I had done that with Maddi and Cade. They still say and do some great things and I can start writing them down, but I'm sad that I've missed out doing that for them in their younger years. I have some of the things they did on the blog, but it's not the same. So, I plan to look around and use of the many little notebooks that I'm sure I have stuffed in a drawer somewhere and really writing these memories down. What a great keepsake for all of us when we are all older. Until then, I want to document this funny conversation with Miss Emalyn. She has been waking up at about 5:30 a.m. and wants to go potty and then I put her back in bed and then she doesn't ever go back to sleep, but calls for me starting around 6:00. So, as I was rocking her before bed the other night this was our conversation: Me-Take a big ni-night and don't wake up so early tomorrow. Get some good sleep so you can be happy. If you wake up too early, I'm not going to come for you when you call for me. So if you call for me and I don't come, it's too early and you just need to go back to sleep. Ok? SILENCE Me-Say, Ok Mommy. Emma-Emma's not listening to Mommy! It took everything I had not to bust out laughing. That girl is seriously funny.
