While fulfilling his assignment of talking to Bethany (so she doesn't get lonely) as I did the dishes, Emmett noticed that Bethany likes to suck on her hands as well as other objects.

At church, Emmett was smiling at the little boy sitting in front of us. The other boy ducked behind the bench and Emmett loudly (there's no other volume for this child) exclaimed, "Where's the Stinky Face? Where did Stinky Face go?" When the little boy reappeared he shouted, "There's the Stinky Face!!" The parent's of the little boy looked at us with some concern as I tried to whisper between my stifled giggles that by calling their son names Emmett was referring to one of his favorite books, I love you Stinky Face, but I'm not sure they were convinced and it was a hilariously embarrassing moment.

Emmett woke up crying from a bad dream and asked to "Sleep next to Daddy." I told him he could come into our bed with us if he was very quiet. He's never succeeded in being quiet before, so I was shocked when he snuggled in under the covers between us and didn't say a word. I was just about to fall back asleep when I heard him whisper, "Uh oh! Emmett dropped the boogey!" 

E: I'm playing Mario with Uncle Casey!
C: I'm Daddy.
