Little Miss Emma

Emma has a new look. She is really starting to act older, attitude and all!! I guess this just happens all the sudden. She has been trying to let her bangs grow out, so I decided to get her hair cut pretty short, and blend those bangs in a little more. It turned out really cute. Every time I cut her hair shorter I like it better. Speaking of acting older, we were in Target a couple of weeks ago, and I reached out to hold her hand. She snatched her hand back. She promptly said, “I don’t have to hold your hand in Target!!” It really hurt my feelings, but I tried not to let her know it. I knew this day would come, but I must admit, I wasn’t ready for it on that day in Target. One more act of growing up, we were getting ready for a yard sale a week or so ago, and she brought me a pair of Dora sunglasses that she has been wearing without complaint, and said “sell these.” I said, “you may need those in Disney”. “I don’t want you to get a headache from the sun”(knowing that I had already bought her a new pair of Hannah Montana glasses for the trip). She said, “I am NOT wearing those sunglasses in Disney, I am not 2 years old”. “SELL THEM, I don’t care if I get a headache.” I guess you have to draw the line somewhere!! Might I add that I am pretty tired of seeing Dora myself. I was happy to sell the glasses. She got her new sunglasses on report card day. Straight S’s. We are so proud of Emma and how hard she works at school. She had to work hard for those S’s and she deserved a special surprise!!
