Go!

Poor Paul. Em has been in a mommy phase. I think it's mostly because she has been sick and everyone wants their mommy when they're sick. She's been waking up frequently at night and holy heck if I'm not the one that goes in to sooth her.

Last night I was getting ready to go to bed and our tiny dictator woke up crying. Paul went up and picked her up and she screamed louder! Paul said no matter which way he turned Em twisted her body to face the door. I finally finished what I was doing and walked into Em's bedroom to find Paul sitting on the stool, Em standing facing the door, and as soon I walked in she reached up for me. That of course made me feel needed and loved, but poor Paul said that when he was holding Em she looked at him and said, "Go!" In the midst of all her screaming and crying of course.

And as soon as I picked her up she stopped crying. I gave her a hug, laid her back down, and she went right back to sleep. This has happened almost every night since she's been sick. Paul's poor ego is taking a beating.

She is fine when she gets up with Paul in the morning, but at night she is a momma's girl. Luckily Paul loves her more than enough not to be phased by her mommy obsession. She does make us laugh.

Her little character gets stronger and stronger every day. The other day she was sitting in her high chair, eating dinner, and all of the sudden she started arching her back, pursing her lips, and we laughed so she kept doing it. She definitely is an entertainer. I can only imagine what she's going to be like as she gets older.
