Yesterday I almost got side-swiped while getting on the interstate. I didn't raise my voice, but my tone was definitely chastising the driver of the offending pickup truck. Emily told me, "Stop, Mommy. Be nice." Road rage is NOT allowed around Emily.
Today, she tried telling a stranger to "be nice." This individual was apparently using an angry tone in his conversation with another person and Emily didn't like it. We don't know what the person was saying because they were speaking Chinese/Mandarin. How do you explain to a child that you can't shush adults?
While we drove over some train tracks today, Emily shouted, "Choo-choo Street!" She loves driving over the "choo-choo streets" because they make the van rumble/bounce (we have a few of those close to our house, so she really loves it).
And, if you ask Emily why Gianna is crying, she'll tell you in a very matter-of-fact tone that "Jonna" wants her pacifier. Not a paci, not a binky, but a pacifier.
