The girls speak in full sentences now.\u00a0 It amazes me what comes out of their mouths these days.\u00a0 They now have the ability to tell me what they want, and what they don\u2019t want for that matter, when it comes to anything and everything.\u00a0 They tell me what they want to eat or what they don\u2019t want or when they want more of something or when they are finished eating.\u00a0 They tell me when they want their diaper changed or when they don\u2019t want it changed which generally is opposite of what nature has really called for.\u00a0 They tell me when they don\u2019t feel like getting dressed (one minute or two minutes is a common response) and Avery often tells me what she wants to wear (no, not that, this one, I like this one).\u00a0 They also tell me no and to go away when they don\u2019t want to be bothered with something such as getting in their car seat.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Their ability to express their wants and needs is wonderful and amazing but can also be less than desirable sometimes as well.\u00a0 The saying that cracks me up the most probably because they both use if so much is \u201cmaybe tomorrow\u201d.\u00a0 Children obviously pick up on sayings from their parents and I guess Justin and I did use that phrase some in response to them.\u00a0 But they both use it a TON.\u00a0 (Hopefully we don\u2019t use it that much). It is funny though because they both use it in slightly different ways.\u00a0 Avery generally uses it in a way that most people use it\u2026.if something doesn\u2019t occur today, then maybe it will occur tomorrow.\u00a0 For example, I might be leaving to the store.\u00a0 Avery might say Mommy going to Giant and I would respond, no I\u2019m actually going to a clothing store.\u00a0 Avery would respond back and say, \u201cmaybe tomorrow\u201d.\u00a0 Emerson on the other hand adds emotion to her phrase much of the time.\u00a0 For example, if I say Emerson can I have a hug and a kiss and she isn\u2019t in the mood, she will quickly say \u201cNo.\u201d.\u00a0 Immediately she will realize that her response wasn\u2019t nice, so she will say \u2018mabye tomorrow\u2019 with a little sad face. <\/em><\/p>\n

The truth is I love the phrase. I grin every time I hear one of them say it.\u00a0 It fits.\u00a0 Maybe tomorrow we will go to the park, maybe tomorrow we will eat chicken nuggets, maybe tomorrow we will go to the store, maybe tomorrow we will feel like giving extra hugs.\u00a0 Maybe tomorrow is not a promise, just the understanding that something is not today and the thought that it may be tomorrow gives us something to look forward. \u00a0And as we anticipate what may be tomorrow, we are thankful for our blessings today.<\/em><\/p>\n
