A conversation with Sarah

The following is a conversation Sarah & I had on the way home from school today. I was telling her that I had to take the Dynamic Duo (Bo & Luke) in for a check-up tomorrow so they would stay healthy and be with us for a long time.

Me: "It's important for them to have check-ups, just like we do, so they will be healthy."

Sarah: "When I grow up, I'm going to be a doctor so I can end cancer."

Me: "Wow! You're going to cure cancer? That's wonderful!"

Sarah: "Yeah, and do you know what I'm going to do with the money I make when I cure it?"

Me: "No, what are you going to do with the money?"

Sarah: "Well, I'm going to save half of it (that's my girl!) and with the rest of it I'm going to buy toys for me and Emily. I'll also buy you a latte and Daddy a steak...or maybe some ribs or chicken fingers. He really likes those things."

I should also note that further into the conversation she mentioned having a house close to ours and doing her own grocery shopping. :-)

So cute!

Another cute pic of Emily from our shopping adventures. How can you have a bad day when you've got this to keep you smiling?

She's Got Personality

I wanted to share a couple quick pictures of Emily. She is almost 18 months now and quite the ham. Her personality is developing more and more each day and she is starting to understand things better which is making communicating a bit easier. She loves to laugh and seems to know when she's done something funny...or at least funny to her. :-)

We were going through boxes of Sarah's old clothes over the weekend and Emily loved "trying on" just about everything we pulled out. She knew the hat went on her head and the shoes on her feet...too bad she didn't realize that snow boots don't really work with a sun bonnet.



Here is one of my new favorites! Emily found Sarah's old goggles earlier today and insisted on putting them on. As soon as she had them on, she looked at the camera sitting on the counter and started to smile. Seriously!! :-)

P.S. I have no good explanation for why she is just in socks and a diaper! :-)
