Here is a cute video of Emmy cooking some pancakes (imaginary) for her Daddy and me, and informing Keith what he needs to do before he can get an egg. By egg, they are referring to Kinder eggs, which we gave Emmy as rewards when she pooped on the potty.
She shuses me at one point as I was laughing so hard.
Not sure what crackaroni is... LOL

Emmy's first movie (in a theatre)

Today, after much anticipation, Daddy and I took Emmy to her first movie at the Famous Players 6 at Parkwood Mall. We went to Ice Age 3. Em calls the Ice Age movies the "Elephant" movies and she has been excited since Friday when I told her the plan. It was almost like Christmas around here, counting down the sleeps and everything.

She was actually free admission-wise, Keith and my tickets cost around $20. The the concession robbed Em of any inheritance. Oh, I kid, kinda.
We got her the Ice Age combo so she could experience movie-style popcorn, and a Strawberry Fruitopia (which was the closest thing to a "healthy" drink they had outside of the extremely expensive water. She absolutely adored it.
The movie was good, not as good as the first two, but funny and enjoyable the same.
Some highlights of Emmy's first theater experience:
1. Emmy saying, "Is my elephant movie coming on after all the commercials?"
2. During the movie, the word "stupid" is said, which is a no-no word at daycare and at home. Emmy says emphatically (and loudly) to the screen, "You no say that word!" which caused parents around us to giggle.
3. Emmy's laugh, which is quite distinctive and the kind the just makes you laugh with her, causing random strangers to laugh with her.
4.Keith and I actually went to a movie again. The last movie we attended was 50 First Dates, many moons before Emmy was here.
It was a great outing out for all of us.

Ahhh...men

Keith and I had our very first outing together today without Emmy. Grandma offered to babysit, so off we went to eat and shop for a couple hours without Em. It felt so weird to not have her there. We either have Emmy with us or she is at home with the other parent.

So, Keith and I decide to go for lunch. Our first childless lunch date in 34 months. Where does Keith suggest to go?

Arby's. Because they have roast beef, you know.

I told him in no uncertain terms that 1. I did not want to go somewhere with a drive-thru, and 2. I would be blogging about this later.

For the record, we went to Boston Pizza...and it was yummy.

For your amusement...

It might be just mine, but this video of Emmy and Keith dancing just makes me smile. The warm fuzzies that this is my family, and being goofy together is just what we do.



Another "Awww" moment occured when Emmy fell asleep on Grandma's lap...c'mon...just say it with me....awwwww

"Yucky, Poopie!"

said Emmy this morning when she walked in on Daddy. peeing. She looked at him, pointed at his man-part and stated that. I am still giggling about that and it has provoked a few jokes this morning as well.

Ahhh....kids.
