A day in the life of Emma Lynn

Oh to be the divine Miss Em.

I figured I would go through the daily routine, as told by the princess herself.

No later then 9 am, the mom comes in to open the blinds and remove the covers. She blows kisses at us, and checks to make sure we are still locked in, since Sydney and Stirling are constantly trying to show off their skills for the wrestling team.
Mom often tries to lay back down because we know she doesn’t feel well, but we don’t let her get any rest. We just scream and holler as loud as we can. I will often start throwing toys to the bottom of the cage because it’s a sure way to get her back in our room.
Then, mom will clean cages, and give us our daily diets that remain in the cages. I do wish she would hurry up with my cashews. Mother doesn't seem to like the idea I am good at standing in my food dish holder if she takes to long.

Once everyone is fed, floor vacuumed, she then disappears with Stirling downstairs.
I can hear him carrying on. He does think he's special.

Sydney is being a big mouth answering him while next to me!
I don't hesitate to tell him

After a while, mom comes to get Sydney and me, and we go to bask in the sun next to our large window.

Mom then prepares our breakfast, and her delivery service is slow.
I can be picky, and I don’t like mooshy things, so if she tries to slip something in there I don’t care for, I teach her a lesson by hiding it on the hardwood floor, so when she walks back in, she knows just how it feels to have mooshy things between HER toes.

When breakfast is done, we all have to take baths. I never really liked the thought of being wet, but I have figured out its nice to sit in the sun to dry off…..

Stirling starts to ask to go back upstairs, and Sydney is busy trying to look good up on his boing.


I prefer to take a nap as mom checks emails and has coffee.
After my nap and when I am all dry, mom starts to clean the house, which means the music gets a little loud. I don’t mind much as it also means mom sings and dances with me. Its much better then listening to Sydney thinking he is a duck, and his “quack sessions”…..Boys, they are so simple.


Once I have been paraded around the house a few times by mom, then Sydney and I get to go back upstairs so we can simply be BIRDS!
Up there, we scream, carry on, throw food, and wait to see daddy’s truck pull in from work.

Shortly there after, mom comes back up to get us, and we all get to hang out and watch tv with my main man.


I don’t let that daddy out of my site, without tattling on his every move. How dare he get up off that couch without telling me first?


I start to let mom know when its dinner time. Again. Service is slow. I will sit on my playpen floor and shoot her the eyeballs to tell her “its time!”


Once we all eat, its usually pretty close to daddy’s bedtime. Stirling goes to bed first, as Sydney and Stirling cant be carried together.
Once Stirling is tucked in bed, I see daddy starting to move on the couch and I know its time. I have saved most of my air all day to let out one gigantic scream to announce to the neighborhood….”its daddy time!”

Mom carries Sydney and I upstairs and we get to run on the bed. She keeps us apart because I seriously do not appreciate him being in MY space!


Once daddy comes in tho, the whole world stops and all is right. I get to bury myself next to daddy’s chest under the covers while mom puts Sydney nite nite.


I hear mom come back in the room, and I charge out from under the blankets, but mom isn’t fooled by my impressive display. She just insists I hop up and let daddy sleep. I give my daddy a kiss, and we are off to go back downstairs to spend some girl time.
All Is quiet in the house. The boys are all in bed.. Mom cradles me in her arms and sings “ twinkle twinkle little star” .
I try to sing along only because I know it makes the ole lady happy. Best part of the whole deal is I get to relax, drift off to sleep while being scratched all over.


About 10:30, mom carries me back upstairs, kisses my belly and puts me in my own sleep spot. Its not as nice as daddy’s but it will do. She covers me with a pink flowery cover, and the last words I hear is “I love you, nite nite”

I’m off to have sweet birdy dreams of catching Ollie and destroying the competition.
Same time tomorrow, right mom?

Haha, deal. I'll tell her all about my Quasi, and how they would have been buddies. . .as long as neither of them invaded the other's special space!!

But, I'd need cuddle time with Stirling and Sydney, too. In fact, I'd just kick you out of the house so you could go shopping and love up on everyone all day long. Even Ollie. And I'd promise not to eat him!
