A Star from Heaven 02/03/2010

I just had to share this story of what Emma did yesterday. There is a nasty stomache bug going around daycare and Emma just returned to daycare today. She had a nasty cold so she was home with Grandma for a week. Since Grandma is not working, I decided she can come back and stay home with Emma so we avoid her getting the stomach bug and passing it on to the rest of us. After dinner, I was on the way out the door to pick up Grandma who lives 40 minutes away but Emma didn't want me to leave. I told her I had to and if she asked Tata he would give her a cookie. That did the trick and Emma ran off to get her cookie. Emma has a real big sweet tooth like her Godmother Agnes. Well she had one and Adam put the rest of the package on the tall kitchen counter. She went to him and asked for another cookie. Adam said no they are for your mom and grandma. She asked again, again he denies her. After a couple of minutes, she came and asked again. This time Adam said "Well I want a star from heaven" meaning you can't have what you want. A couple minutes went by and she asked again. Again he said "I want a star from heaven but that doesn't mean I am going to get it" So she left to play. A couple minutes go by and she comes back and hands him a piece of paper. Adam asks "What's this". She replies "A star from heaven, can I have my cookie now?" She drew a star, and did a great job by the way, and gave it to him. All this so she can have a cookie! Once Adam stopped laughing he did give her the cookie. I can't believe how clever that was, the things she will do for sweets!
