Today was a busy day.  For Emma's birthday, we ran errands.  Popo and GongGong and the three of us went all over the place, including to Target where we both got to pick out outfits!  At night, we had birthday cake for Emma!  Earlier in the day . . .

 

Memorable conversation #1

 

We have been away from Dad for a week now.  We stay in touch by seeing him on Skype every night . Sometimes though, he's already in bed and all we see is blackness with Dad's voice.  Tonight, here's what happened.

 

20120108-EmmaBday-05-EmmaJuliaThaddeus-JuliaOnlyJulia:  Dad!  Turn on the light for one minute.

Dad:   Oh.  Okay. 

Julia:   Two minutes.

Dad:   Oh, okay.

Julia:   Three minutes.  (mom laughs at dad)

Dad:   No.  (dad takes a stand)

Julia:   Oh, okay.  Fine! (exasperation in her voice but resigned)

Memorable conversation #2

 

Julia:               Mom, can we have ice cream for breakfast?

 

Mom:             No.

 

Julia:               I don't like your opinions.

 

(Post script:  Then Emma piped in:  "Mama, I love your 'pinions!"  Mom said, "Thanks, Em!"  What a brown-noser!)
