Melspeth, The Other Blog

Emily just came over to us, peanut butter and milk dotted on her face.  I looked down into her beautiful, messy face and said, "Hi, Messy Girl." 

"What's that?"

"Your face is messy."

"Why?"

"Because you eat messy."

"Nooo, I eat SANGwiches!"

And with a laugh and a smile, she was off again to eat her sandwich.

Emily brought her tiny treasure box in to us just a few minutes ago and began telling us where she acquired each of her treasures (read: rocks).  She has various rocks that she's pulled out of the garden and one pretty, tumbled rose quartz that we got last month when we went to the Hell's Gate Airtram.  This is what she said to Daddy...

"This is the rock that I got at Hello's Gate!"

I have a feeling the next time we go, we're all going to wave and yell "Hello!" on the tram...

Apparently, that is the proper name for sunscreen.  According to Emily, of course.

"Mummy, you need to put on your sunskin so you can be safe."

"Mummy, why did the girl throw some butter out the window?"

"I don't know, why DID the girl throw some butter out the window?"

"To see a Blutterfly!"

She can say butter.  She can say fly.  But ask her to put them together and you get BLUTTERFLY.

I'm looking forward to decorating the church and reception site with our blutterflies...

Another gem from Emily today...

"Mummy, what are those?"

"Those are veins.  That's what carries the blood through my body."

"And what's that?"

"That's a capillary"

*pointing* "And is THAT a crapillary?"

*bemused smile* "Yes, sweetheart, it is."

SO cute!

Honest, that's what it is.  Just ask Emily...

"Sweetie, what's that?"

"The Keymote control."

"The what?"

(matter-of-factly) "The keymote control."

There you have it.

The latest from Emily...

...as in, "I'm ready to turn the eggs.  Can you hand me a spatular?"

I love that girl.

Froggily.

Yep, you heard me.  Froggily.  As in, "Do you think it'll rain?"  "Froggily."

This is Emily's latest mangling of the English language and I have to tell you, it's SO precious it'll give you cavities.

So, make sure you brush your teeth and chew only sugarless gum, because I don't forsee her stopping being so darned cute anytime soon.

That is all.

At least, that's what Em calls it.  That, or "Nog Nog".  I love kid-language :)
