Emily was being her helpful, tidy self this afternoon and offered to take the phone from the couch and put it back on the cradle for me. In the process she decided that Daddy was on the phone and had a whole conversation with "him". It went a little something like this:

"Hi Daddy. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... bring ice cream home. Byyyyeeeee."

The other morning I allowed Emily to pick out what shirt she would like to wear to Nannie & Papa's. As soon as she was dressed she looked in her mirror and with a big adorable smile, she twirled around, smoothed out her shirt and proudly stated, "ice cream, shirt, no". (Get this... at 7am, this girl is already thinking about ice cream!)

About a month ago, we ate in the back room of Max & Erma's and Emily noticed the giant ice cream cone that hangs between the rooms. While she still hasn't eaten ice cream there yet, when we mention Max & Erma's now, the first thing out of her mouth is "B-i-i-i-i-i-i-g ice cream!"

Emily has her 3rd birthday coming up next week. We're planing her party now and have been talking about food for the party. For some odd reason, she has shown very little interest in the actual food we'll be serving and the only big request she's made and worried about is that we have chocolate ice cream.
