New Jewels

I went out of town this weekend and I brought Emerson back a new crown. Hers broke and she has been lost without it. The crown came packaged with earring, a necklace and a ring. She has not been without these new jewels since we opened them. She will not wear the earring, but she does want them near her at all times, so she puts them in a handbag and insists on carrying it around.
This morning we got dressed and ready for school and she ran to her room to put on the jewels. After 10 times of asking me if she can take all her new accessories to school and after 10 times of me telling her no, she finally wised up and asked to bring them in the car. So, here we are going to school this morning. By the way, the minute she got in the car when I picked her up from school the jewels went back on.
Denny took this picture this evening as she pranced around in the jewels AND her princess dress. She is such a girly girl.

Too Cool for School

I know I have not posted in awhile, but things have just been very busy the last few weeks.
This was taken last week as she sported around the house with this chosen pair of sunglasses. She has multiple pairs... Pretty cute I think.

Daddy's big helper

We went to the nursery today and got pansies to plant in the yard for the fall. Of course, Emerson wanted to help Denny plant them.


This morning everybody wanted Daddy lovin'.

She LOVES them Aunt Mel!
Thanks


The Tigers may have played and lost a pitiful game, but this fan sure does like dressing up for the game! It is all about what you wear!

"MOOOOOOOOM, I can't do it"

These pictures remind me of a commercial I see often. It is the one about that "Amazing" over the shoulder, adjustable strap, genuine leather bag that holds all of the contents of your purse PLUS 2 full size bottles of water. Do you know the commercial I am talking about?
Well, this morning Emerson struts out of her playroom pushing the popcorn popper, holding every purse she owns- 10-13 I think- on her arm, is trying to hold a large plastic alligator wearing her pink boa and hawain lae all the while trying to put on a pair of yellow sunglasses. She quickly catches the reds because she drops all of it. What follows next is the very dramatic fall to the floor with the "MOOOOOOOM, I can't do it".
My instruction in passing- trying not to encourage the whining and crying- is to put some of her purses down into the larger ones and carry all of her stuff that way. She looks up and it was like a light went off. She stopped the whining and crying and went to it. She felt a real sense of accomplishment. I was just glad the whining stopped.

Daylight saving time

Really, what is the purpose? It is really messing things up around here. She wakes up at least an hour early and then is struggling during the day. We have tried keeping her up in hopes she will sleep later in the morning, but then we get tired and are ready to go to bed. I hate this time of the year! A picture from last week. This is what happens when Daddy dresses.

Happy Halloween

Well, all of the hard work on her costume really paid off. Not only did she wear it, but she owned it once she got it on. I think she loved all the attention. She ate more candy than she has been allowed to have in her 27 months of life and cruised around all night on a serious sugar high.
We had a great time.

Emerson and her cousin Roman.
