Emma Quotes: Butterfly Wings to Fly

Looking out the front window:

Mama, our watching flower show, and there’s bugs everywhere!

 

On birthdays:

I want butterfly wings on my next birthday, and then I will fly.

 

Looking at a picture book featuring a feast:

Yummy foods! How do you get them out of the page?

 

Talking to Mike about a groundhog we saw that day:

Dad: Did the groundhog say hi to Emma?
Emma: No, Dada, groundhogs can’t talk, and they don’t know how to sign!
Dad: Are there any animals that do sign?
Emma: Squirrels sign “ball” when they hold their nuts.

She’s right – check out ASL for “ball” here.

  1. More fantastic quotes from Emma! I love the idea of butterfly wings for her birthday, that would be so cool :)

  2. I agree with Emma! If I could figure out how to get yummy food off the page I would too! Great quotes!

  3. Your Emma is a thinker, not a child who reflects back to you what you said. She is so sweet and I enjoy hearing about her view of the world.

  4. This was hilarious!! :D I hope you enjoy the holiday weekend with your family and friends and always remember what a great country we have! :) Happy 4th of July!!

    Love it, especially about signing squirrels. On the birthday topic, I asked Anna yesterday about what she wants for her birthday. She looked at me and said, "But yesterday long time ago I already told you. I still want them." Too bad that I don't recall that "yesterday" conversation :)
