Oh, Emery

My darling sisters (Cathrynn and Charlynn) had a birthday yesterday. They are twins and turned 25. After we had wished Charlynn a Happy Birthday, we called Cathrynn during the day to wish her a happy birthday, and Emery got on the phone and talked with her for a few minutes. He wished her a good day and asked about the puppy. He told her "Ina pat puppy." And, "Drive Lightning Car." After he got off the phone he gathered up two cars and his racing hat and informed me he was ready to go to Cathrynn's house. "Ina go Cathrynn's house." I told him it would be three weeks before we could go to Cathrynn's house to see Texas (the dog). He just couldn't comprehend that he would have to wait. At one point he said, "Go Cathrynn's house 2 minutes." He doesn't understand that it takes us 10 hours to get to Cathrynn's house.

One more quick one. This morning Emery got up at ten to six. I needed to get into the shower, so I left him in the living room watching Disney. When I got to the living room, there was an open package of fruit snacks (they came in a care package yesterday that was on my kitchen counter). There was also a 5 pack of Big Red gum in that sack. He had opened it and unwrapped every stick. One stick had a bite indent in it (but not broken), it was too hot for him so he set it very carefully on the coffee table and lined up all the additional sticks. Oh, Emery, what will I do with you!

I didn't know your sisters were 25! Man, we are getting old...
I need to ask a favor. Becca commented on my blog, so I went to hers but it won't let me comment because I am not a team member. Once again, poor Marques is left sitting at the kiddie table. :) Anyway, I noticed that you have commented so could youcontact her have her add me to her "team"?

Be grateful. My #3 has eaten so many packs of gum, that once (this is not a joke), his poop smelled like mint. Stop laughing! It's not a joke! Well, it is funny, but it totally happened, too. So, there you go!
