Emily has been cracking me up left and right today! Last week, my mom bought her a pink "ballerina" dress and it's been hard to get her to wear anything but that since then. She is wearing it today and brought me the camera and told me that I needed to take a picture to put on the blog! (we don't have the picture yet because the memory card wasn't in the camera, but I will take one and post later today)
This morning, she and Jacob were playing in my room while I was getting ready (we would love to have a family room downstairs, but we don't, so when we're getting ready, our room becomes the family room unfortunately). I could hear a strange noises, but I couldn't figure out what it was. I asked what was going on and of course, she responded with, "Nothing." A few minutes later, she came into the bathroom with a sad look on her face and said, "Mommy, I want to tell you the truth because I don't want to tell you a lie, but I don't want to get in trouble, and I was afraid to tell you that Jacob got ahold of something he shouldn't have." It was one of those proud mom moments for me and I made a big deal about how proud I was that she decided to tell the truth and not a lie!
On the way to lunch today, she kept talking about "When she's a mommy...." She said, "When I'm a mommy, you will be the grandma and daddy will be the grandpa....but who will be the daddy?" I explained to her that we didn't know yet who the daddy would be, but that it would be the person that she was going to marry. She of course wanted to know who that was going to be, and I told her again that we didn't know yet, but that I hoped that it would be someone who was very nice and would take good care of her and then she said, "Well, maybe I could marry grandpa or daddy because they're very nice and take good care of me." I explained that she couldn't marry her daddy or grandpa because they were already married, and that it would be better if she married a boy that was her age and she said (in a VERY dramatic voice), "But mom...I don't really know any boys my age, so I just don't know WHAT I'm going to do!"
Today I learned what a small world it is in the blogging world. My sister was browsing blogs for people in her ward and came across a picture on one of them that she e-mailed to me. It was almost identical to the picture I posted on our blog of the Pioneer Day activity (the one where the kids are playing hot potato). I guess they were visiting and Emily played with their daughter on and off that night. She was sitting right next to Emily when they were playing the game and I guess they took a picture!
