The Word of the Day

I swear it seems like Emily is coming at us with new words and phrases every day. Being a first time mom to a toddler, I didn't realize what little sponges they are, picking up everything and spitting it back at you when you least expect it. We have learned this lesson the hard way when Emily repeats less-than-choice phrases when we have forgotten to watch our language around her. I'm finding that she is learning so many new things that I can't even keep up with her, I don't even know how much she knows. Today, for instance, she was putting some costume jewelery in a little purse, narrating her actions as she did them; "Emmy puts her necklaces and her rings in her purse for safekeeping.". SAFEKEEPING??? Seriously, did she just say SAFEKEEPING??? Where on God's Green Earth did she learn that one? It seems that she says at least one or two things a day that procure that reaction from me. Emily's word of the day never fails to raise the question of the day...what on earth will she come up with next?
