Emy says 'thank you'

This morning we had MOPS so we had to get up a little earlier than usual to get out the door in time.  I set my alarm and was all ready to go but Haley and Emily were prepared to sleep in for half of the morning.  I turned on the light in their room and sang a wake up song but both of them turned and kept burying their heads in their pillows.  Eventually I pulled Emily out of her crib and Haley got up a couple minutes later when she heard Jay in the kitchen.

MOPs went well, the girls did well in their classes except Haley had an accident in her panties.  I think it was just a couple drops but the teacher noticed she was wet and changed her.  She has started leaking again but had been doing better the past couple of days so I was surprised.  Her teachers actually kept apologizing so I wonder if they just didn't get her there in time or something.  I told them Haley should have told them sooner!  Apparently Emily had been on and off crying in her class but she must have been well fed because when we got home I changed her diaper and a bunch of Cheerios spilled out.

After MOPs we came home and had lunch and then the girls went down for naps.  I have started putting them down for naps separately because Haley keeps Emily awake otherwise.  So I put Emily down and then wait about ten minutes and put Haley down.  Haley slept a little over an hour and then got up and played with Jay.  I took all of them outside once Emily woke up and they played on riding toys and ate pretzels for a snack.  I pushed Emily around in a little riding toy car we have and she kept saying 'Whoa!' every time we'd go over bumps.  I don't remember Haley talking so much at her age, I'll have to look it up in her baby book.

David got home around five and he played with the kids while I made dinner.  Julianne and Todd just won a bid on a HUD house today so I made chicken with a basil cream sauce to celebrate!  They got such a great deal on this house in such a wonderful neighborhood, we hope the inspection goes well though, that could be a deal breaker!  After dinner David played with the girls and gave them baths while I did the dishes and folded laundry.  We have a white stove and I cleaned the stove top, it needed it big time.  After baths we played with the kids.  Julianne was cleaning up blocks and Emy kept handing her blocks and Julianne would say 'thank-you' everytime and after a couple times Emily started to say 'thank you' back!  It was crazy because she was doing more than just the inflection, she was totally doing the sounds too!  David and I kept trying to get her to do it again so we could get it on video but she wasn't doing it as clear.  Haley helped me carry laundry to our room and her's and then we put them to bed.

Haleyism:
Anytime Haley doesn't want to do anything she makes the excuse, "I'm too big."  It's the oddest thing.  Today I told her to eat her hot dog and she said she couldn't because she was too big.  Also, today I was using the bathroom and she came in and asked if my panties were dry (I have been asking her that because of her aforementioned leaking problems) I told her they were and she said, "Good job!  You are a big, big, big (stopped and looked thoughtful then said) Mommy!"  I tell her she's a big girl when her panties are dry.

Emilyism:
Emy points at stuff and waves.  She also says 'whoa' when she experiences any kind of unusual motion.  Today she was sitting in the rocking chair in their room and she started rocking and saying 'whoa' really loud as if she was on a roller coaster.

David let the kids watch a show on the Ipad tonight, even Emy was into it!

This video is of us trying to get Emy to say thank you...she ended up tooting and Haley didn't think it was funny.
