Emily

I have often seen pictures that parents post of their children falling asleep in the craziest places and thought, "wow my kids have never done that."  I think because I have always been so diligent about nap time in my house since that's when I work.  Well, now Emily can be added to the "crazy napping places" group.  The other day I was busy trying to figure out what computer equipment was working since our house had been hit by lightning and Emily said she would wait for me to get done before going downstairs together.  When I was done I went to look for her and found her here:

She was completely asleep.  I picked her up and moved her to the couch and she stayed there for an hour.  Bless her!  She went to church camp all last week and by Friday afternoon she was tired.

I love this little girl so much and she is getting so big!  She helps me out with Abigail and is so good about letting me get work done while Abigail is napping.  She plays so well and has such a great imagination.  Here are several things she has told me lately that I want to remember:

She was singing the alphabet song and told me that "LMNO" is Spanish for M

She loves to tell me that there are 3 rules for whatever it is we are doing.  Her rules for poop are this: You cannot touch it, you cannot eat it, and you cannot throw it up in the air.


She told me this morning that she wanted a heart shaped purse.  I said, "ok, we will be on the lookout for one."  She said, "Mom, can you draw a heart."  I said yes and she said in a matter of fact voice, "well you can just sew me a heart shaped purse then."  As if she couldn't believe that I had not thought of that.  Smart girl!  So I'm actually going to attempt to make her a heart shaped purse with straps.


I love to watch her try to get Abigail to play a certain game with her or try to read her books.  I love it when I look in the backseat and they are holding hands together.  I love that she gets so excited about going places and meeting people.  She says hi to everyone she sees no matter where we are.


I love how she says:
mecidine for medicine 
mazazine for magazine
ephalent for elephant 
lellow for yellow

I LOVE to hear her pray


I love how she talks with her hands and has such a beautiful smile


I love how much she loves her daddy and I pray that she will always have a great relationship with him.


I could go on and on.  I just want to remember my sweet girl of 4 just how she is and to always cherish her and love the spirit that God gave her.
