Emily Moments

Like all other mothers, I adore the majority of comments my children make.  There are also the comments that my children make that are mortifying in public.  Emily has done so many hilarious things lately,  that I am finding it is my girls that are getting me through tax season.  Here are a few of Emily's precious moments lately:

She is taking soccer at Indoor Goals with her friend Jason and let me add, she is not that good so far.  But she LOVES the outfit and always wants her pink shirt to show.  I yell extra loud for her though, so she knows I am proud of her.  So a couple of weeks ago her team scored and I yelled, "  Nice Job!" and whooped a few times I am sure and Emily came over to the side and yelled at me, with arms outstretched, in a my mommy is ridiculous manner, "Mommy, I  didn't score!"  I replied that it didn't matter, I was yelling for the team. "  Thinking she got it I dropped it and then she yelled, " Why did you yell? I didn't score!"  At this point all the parents were trying not to laugh, as was I, and I redirected her back to the field.

We're not proud, but Emily lies to her teachers often.  Not as much this year as last year. Last year, Emily had a tendency to say last night a lot instead of yesterday which caused a lot of confusion.  Therefore, after the Polar Express train ride, she proceeded to tell her teacher " We went on a train last night!" for the month of January.  She also would constantly tell the teacher it was Will's or my birthday last night.  So when her teacher this year came out on Friday during pick up and asked me when we were getting our chihuahua I had to laugh.  I said we are not getting a dog.  Emily had told her we were getting 2!

After the girls' swim lessons on Tues and Thurs nights I was having them shower and wear their pajamas home.  I was always a little nervous though as it is not always shy people that dress in locker rooms.  It was our last class and I thought we had avoided all problems that could have taken place and we were home free.  Kaitlyn was in her dress for the dance and Emily was in her pajamas.  I had the swim bag packed and we were walking out when an older naked lady leisurely walks in front of the girls with no towel, only smile.  I say, " C'mon girls." and Emily begins to laugh and say, " Sister, she's naked!,"in her inside voice.  If you know Emily, you know she has no inside voice.  I am really hoping I got the girls out before the lady could really see who we were and identify us again.   Emily proceeded to tell me all the way to the car that the lady was naked and ask why.

Finally, at Mimi's on Tuesday, out of the blue, she asked me to teach her the Macarena!  I was so proud.  She is definitely my child.  Not only did she do it, but she has performed it for many a people since, WELL.  Next time you see her ask her to do it for you.  It's great!
