Emily

There once was a little girl who was very energetic like a fairy princess. Her name was Emily and she is four years old. She is about to be launched into the big wide world!

Interrupt story...
I have a niece named Emily. She is an energetic handful and I have decided that my sister has an incredible amount of patience. I went to see Emily and my sister H on Monday. When I walked into their home I noticed that Emily's hair was a lot shorter than it has been in the past. My seester informed me that in between my phone call and my arrival they went to the hairdresser because Emily had given herself a haircut. H informed me that this is her second time to do so. "We don't know if she will be a cosmetologist or a dental hygenist." I did not get the last one until she repeatedly asked to brush her teeth throughout the afternoon. Like all four year old children she hops from one activity to another which is sometimes hard to follow.

Soon they will be going to visit my brother in law S's parents. Everyday Emily wakes up and dresses herself and announces "I'm ready". She is very excited to travel. Her last outfit for the airplane was pajama pants and a cardigan. Quite the stylist! She also looks forward to her special airplane treats that my sister has picked up --like ring pops and sticker books.

Later that evening Emily had the opportunity to show off for us all at her swim lesson. After that we went to "McSonic" for a corndog and strawberry shake.

After they get back from visiting the grandparents it will be a big month. Emily will turn 5 and she will be starting kindergarten this fall at my sisters school. Even though my sister will be at the same school it is still sad because she is growing up. Also in the middle of the rest of the chaos they are getting ready for a home study as they would like to adopt. I don't know how my sister does it...there is certainly never a dull moment.
