Cold Mouth

Both Logan and Ella have done a wonderful job playing with Emmett all of these many months that we have been home together during the pandemic.  Although they are both now going to school full-time in person, Logan and Ella find time most mornings before leaving to play with Emmett.  Often times, these games revolve around pillow piles and their favorite blankets that they all sleep with each night.  This past weekend, Logan and Emmett were playing in their room.  At one point, Logan laid Emmett down on his bed and began to put his blankets on top of Emmett.  This must have reminded Emmett how he usually cuddles his blankets in his own crib with his ya-ya.  As a result, Emmett asked Logan if he could get one of his pacifiers and his blankets.  Since we have a pretty strict rule in this house that all pacifiers stay inside the crib after our babies turn one, Emmett sometimes tries to think of creative ways to get one to suck on outside of his designated nap and night time.  After Logan told him that he could have his blanket but not his ya-ya, Emmett sadly replied, "But my mouth is cold" as if a pacifier is like the blanket to a mouth!  Oh that boy!  How funny and persuasive he can be!
