Glad it’s Friday. This week went extremely quick even though it was very low-key all week. I’m going to miss summer camp next week.
Tonight I braved Target by myself with the two girls even though Lexi was SO tired. But I really wanted to get Scott’s birthday card and ingredients for the birthday dessert I’m making him tomorrow so I didn’t have to worry about anything but making it in the morning before lunch when his family is coming over. The girls were great at Target so I decided to make a run for the grocery store to get the lemon and whipping cream that Target didn’t have. Hang on, I have to insert Emma and I’s conversation on whipping cream.
Emma: What did you say?
Me: Heavy. Whipping. Cream.
Emma: Heby Whooping Cream?
Me: No, Hea-vy. Whipping. Cream.
Emma: Heavy Whooping Cream?
Me[trying to extremely clear]: No. Heavy. Whipping. Whipping. Cream.
Emma: Heavy Whipping Whipping Cream?
Me (laughing): No, just Heavy. Whipping. Cream. You say each word once. Heavy Whipping Cream.
Emma: Heavy Whipping Cream?
Me: Yes, Heavy Whipping Cream.
That still makes me laugh–heavy whipping whipping cream. Anyway, on with the story…Lexi fell asleep about a quarter of a mile before the store but I went in anyway thinking she would wake up long enough to go in there. But no, I carried a very heavy 2 year old throughout the store. I skipped on the cart and had Emma carry the two ingredients through the store. Lexi stayed asleep through the re-installment into the car seat and trip into the house to her bed too. When we got home, Emma played some computer games while I cleaned up the house. It was mostly straightened since our dinner last night, I just did the dusting and bathrooms and such.
After that, Emma and I did some of her reading lessons and guess what? She read TWO words tonight “mat” and “sat”. She catches on so quickly, we do like 5 lessons at a time and it repeats itself so she’s like Mom! I know those sounds! I end up skipping some of the stuff just because we are doing so much in one sitting. Probably the next session she will get to the one where she reads the sentences “see me read”. I may cry when she does that.
So now I’m doing laundry and getting ready to watch Miss Potter which I’ve heard good reviews on.
