Listening to SPL catch up with Emily after 2 weeks' absence
SPL couldn’t sleep this afternoon and just got up to find his was back (SPL’s grandparents had been here so we gave Emily some time off :-):
Immediately upon seeing her — “I have something to show you.” And runs to get his pink swimming award.

Looking at something in the guest room:
SPL: “It’s kermit the crab….no it’s Kermit the Frog! he’s not a crab, he’s a frog (giggles)
SPL: Are the socks inside out. Oh boy. A lot of mommy’s clothes and a lot of my clothes. I’ll help you fold. (Emily was helping us fold the laundry)
SPL: Where did you park your car?
Emily: In the shade so it would stay cool.
SPL: When I got my new carseat — when I sit in it, it’s too hot. Mom puts the picnic cover on it now so it doesn’t get hot. I don’t know why my mom doesn’t park in the shade?
Emily: There aren’t any big trees outside your house.
SPL: That tree is still small. Did you know we got a new tree? When it gets big, we can park there.
SPL: And Evelia came today (our housekeeper). See, our house is so clean. When Evelia doesn’t come, it’s so dirty.
SPL: My mom is working so I’m with you.
SPL: That’s a firefox. My dad works @ Mozilla.
SPL: that’s kermit the frog behind the door. And it’s right there on the bookshelf too — a book with Kermit. What a lot of kermits there are.
SPL: Emily, I like your toes. They’re red and white. My mom sometimes has red toes too. But not now. Do boys have painted toes? Daddy and I are boys. Let me go check if mom has painted toes now (runs into office where I am) — and reports to me “Mom, you don’t have painted toenails now, right? Emily has red and white toenails.”
SPL: Grandma and grandpa went home today to Texas – on a big BIG airplane.
Yes, this is pretty much verbatim of their 10 minute conversation (there were parts I missed and I obviously didn’t catch Emily’s side — she’s pretty soft spoken unlike SPL 🙂
