Double-Teamed

I can't believe at this age my two little babies have started double teaming on me already. After their naked baby dancing session and cleaning up their toys, we were starting to wind down for the evening. Emmie turned to me and asked if I could please open up the storage bench so she could get some toys out. I said no, not right now we're getting ready to go to bed. She gave me a pouty look and pleaded. I was still holding my ground, when I turned and saw Drew standing there staring at me with those melt my heart eyes, signing please (very aggressively). After that I couldn't continue to say no, but before I caved I forced them to each give me a kiss! How could anyone resist those two!?!

Almost 20 Questions

When Emmie turned 3 I wanted to start a new tradition, asking her a set of questions to see how her answers change from year to year. Well 6 months ago, she wasn't so responsive when I asked her questions...she chose to ignore me. Today she's officially 3.5 half years old, so I thought to give it another try. This time I spread the questions out over a couple of days so that she wouldn't get so antsy and decide to ignore me again. So I didn't quite come up with 20 questions, here's what we got:

What is your name? Emmie

How old are you? Two (She’s really 3.5, so I casually mentioned that fact so she changed her answer to “Three” while trying to hold three fingers).

What is your favorite color? Ok I showed you…geen…see! (as she takes out a book she loving highlighted pink and points to her scribbles).

What is your favorite snack? Fruit Snack (I think Cheetos might be her favorite snack but she was influenced by the word “snack” in the question).
