Sad, Smart Weekend

Well, it was a very sad weekend as Mom is really in Tennessee with Dad :( It is sad because Emmi and her were very close and I'm not sure how Emmi is going to take it. Also, it is sad because I worked with her everyday and came home and had dinner with her everyday for the last two years. We did everything together so I am taking this quite hard. Emmi doesn't notice quite yet. She keeps going to her door and wanting to go in "Mimi's room" but we steer her away. Emmi is doing quite well and is talking everyone's ear off. Bennie and I just kind of look at eachother in surprise because we are not sure if she has taken a breath between words. She sings many songs including Happy Birthday, No more monkeys on the bed, and ABC's, which are her current likings. Today she really surprised us because she is counting from numbers 1-10. Bennie and I were saying that she needs to go to bed at seven tonight because she didn't get a nap, which she responded loudly "eight" like she was trying to bargain for it!! She is so funny and smart. Bennie had her in the bath and she would say the number and hand him the foam number at the same time. I will put up pictures but left the camera at Aunt Heather's house. I will put up pics of Christmas and also try to upload a video of Emmi counting sometime soon. We all had a great Christmas seeing everyone, however I want my mother back home!!!! I think we all miss her but know my Dad is happy to have her there!! Love you Mom and thank you so much for everything that you have done for us!! You are truly special and will miss you until February, work will not be the same.......
