The Dukes… Momma…. and a Blankie!!
January 13, 2009What do all of those have to do with each other??
That’s what our night was about tonight. John, Emma and I were sitting in our living room. Emma had eaten dinner and was sitting on the couch on her new blankie from my little sister, her aunt Becky. She was sitting there “talking” like she ALWAYS does. She is soooo verbal… but nothing noticeable…just babble.
John and I were eating dinner and we were all watching the Dukes of Hazard……… if you don’t know don’t ask
(I always say my husband is a 60 year-old stuck in a 25 year-olds body!!!) However, this is the one old show that he watches that I actually can stand enjoy. So we were sitting there and I thought I heard Emma say something……… like REAL…… but I didn’t want to get too excited. So I kind of listened and she said it AGAIN.
So I put the show on hold and told John. He looked at me like I was kind of nuts… but said I was probably right. Well we talked to Emma and tried to encourage her to say it again and she did. But this time she didn’t stop…… she said it OVER and OVER again.
I am sure you can guess, but I will say it anyway………she said………
MOMMA!!!
I was so excited and so proud……… now we are working on Daddy!!! I think she at least gets who I am talking about, because every time I say it, she looks at John.
Yeah I know we are boring……… but that’s what happens when you get married and have a kid.
Well I will leave you with a picture…….
This is Emma falling asleep tonight with her blankie her aunt Becky made for her. It is SOOOOO CUTE and the softest thing EVER!!!
Thanks AUNT BECKY!!!
Love Ya Guys!!!!
