Buckeyes with Emily.
She absolutely loved dipping the peanut butter balls into melted chocolate, and was much better at doing so than I thought she would be. Note to self: give her more opportunities for independence.
Listened:
Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard on How I Built This. After listening to it, I am 90% certain the next jacket I purchase will be a Patagonia one. Which may very well be the reason he did the show in the first place, to get suckers like me to buy their stuff. But I want to believe that he's authentic in his approach and commitment to a better way of designing and consuming clothing.
Conversation with Emily before bed:
Em: (can't remember exactly waht she was talking about, but it was nothing related to bed time or anything like that), and that's the last thing I'm going to say. Becuase I am super tired.
Me: Ok, well, I love you
Em starts suckign her thumb and nodding
Me: Aren't you going to say 'I love you, too'?
Em: No, I already told you that that was the last thing I was going to say. I can't say anything else because I am SUPER TIRED!
Me: I know - but it's still nice to say "I Love you, too" when someone says 'I love you'
Em: But I CAN'T say I LOVE YOU! Becuase I already told you the last thing I was saying!
Me: PLEASE say I love you, too! (start tickling, silly kisses, etc.)
Em: (after a lot of giggles) I love you
Me: I love you!
I walk out but hear her talking. A few minutes later I hear her saying "PLEASE!!" so I go back into her room
Me: Em, were you calling for me? Or pretending?
Em: I was calling for you!
Me: Why?
Em: Becuase I needed to tell you that I didn't say 'I love you, too' I just said 'I Love you'. I ALMOST got the whole thing out, but not all the way. Becuase I'm too tired. And that's the last thing I'm going to say.
