My Dancing Girls

Emily cracks me up on a daily basis...... She has such a strong opinion about everything....and I mean everything. This morning she argued with me about whether she should use a fork or a spoon to eat scrambled eggs. She was in tears over the whole scene. I looked at her and said "Emily, you are the one who took the spoon out of the drawer, use which ever utensil you'd like." She froze and looked at me and dug inside her big brain for a come back. Amazing, she did not have one.
This morning I was listening to some 80's music on Pandora.com and so when I got offline to clean the house, I decided to put on an old INXS CD. Emily starts in on me. "I'm turning this off, Mommy. No music. I don't wanna hear any music, she proclaims!" Five minutes later she is a dancing machine! Did you know 4 year olds love INXS?

They danced for like 20 minutes....and posed for pics of course too. Now they are off playing something else. Something about a sick kitty that is lost in the woods. Sarabeth just told Emily that she can't go find the kitty because she might get sick too. She says she needs to get under a blanket and stay warm. She turns away from her and says I have to hurry home. Wearing this super cute tutu that was a Christmas gift from Aunt Betsy & Uncle Chuck she pulls out her cow keychain with a built in flashlight that moos of course, pushing her dolly stroller into the woods (our kitchen) to head to her home.

Abby all the while, is shouting something about how everyone should be kind to one another. That was part of the bible verse that Emily and Sarabeth had to learn in September for school. Look who else is learning! I think a fight is about to break out between her and Sarabeth. They are eating crackers and cheese on a blanket planning a picnic. Abby is not happy with the placement of the dishes...........

I just glanced back at Emily, she has built a tent with a blanket over a stroller and a chair. I love watching them play!
