Emily and I are reading "Eloise" at bedtime. I've never read this book, but friends of ours gave it to us and said it was a "must" for childhood. One of the pages tonight sounded JUST like Emily. Here's a snippet (I'll type it exactly as written--punctuation and all):
"I have two dolls which is enough
Their names are Sabine and Saylor
Sabine is a rag doll and she has absolutely no face at all
partially because she came from Jamaica by Air Express
Otherwise she has shoe-button eyes and two right legs
She is rawther unusual
Saylor is a very large doll and has a hard head and no arms
She was in the most terriblest accident and she bleeded so hard
she almost choked in the night and this ambulance came and took
her to this hospital and it was an emergency and they had to give
her all this terribly dark medicine and a lot of Band-aids and when
she came back home she was weak weak weak and had to take cod-liver
oil
I gave her a strawberry leaf from under my grapefruit for not
whimpering and Weenie licked her face
They have to have a teaspoon of water every hour or so, so you can
see they are an extremely lot of work"
I typed all that to give you a peek into what it's like around our house these days.
A 3 year old that constantly chatters. Constantly.
And a 1 year old who is into everything. Everything.
But they are so wonderful. Being a parent is so rewarding.
