Look Who Emma Found

I don't think it could be possible for a child to be any more excited about Christmas than this girl is. She is excited about every yard she sees that has decorations in it. Needless to say, when she came home Wednesday afternoon and daddy had decorated our yard, she was beyond excited. She told me "Close my eyes" and so she closed her eyes, and when we reached the top of our driveway, she screamed out with pure joy. It just melted my heart.

 

She couldn't wait to show Brady when he got home from school on Friday afternoon. She did the whole "close your eyes" routine with him...after he had driven right past the decorations. He played it off well and acted like he had never seen any of these things before.

 

I suspect this Christmas is going to be one of the best. She is at the perfect age and is so excited about everything. She is constantly singing her version of Jingle Bells...which I have to record for every one's listening enjoyment.

 

We have been busy this week planning for our annual Italian Christmas gathering which we had last night. We have also had ballgames and working and speech, etc. Last weekend we were able to to go to see Brady march at the last home ballgame. It was a big rivalry between the teams and luckily Middle won the game. Not so lucky, one of our players suffered a major injury and had to be taken off the field in an ambulance after the staff properly placed him on a spine board and took all of the precautions necessary. During that 20 minutes that it took to prepare him, you could literally have heard a pin drop in the stadium. EXCEPT for the words of a certain little 5 year old girl who kept saying to me "I can't see Mama, what's wrong, he need a Bandaid". Remember, my girl can't hear without her hearing aids and she didn't have them in, so she is like any other person and talks louder than she should. I am pretty certain they could hear her on the other side of the stadium. I just kept telling her that he had a bad boo boo and was going to the doctor which only brought about more talk about Bandaids. Thankfully, I have tried to follow up on the player and he did suffer a neck injury but has regained feeling in his legs and was able to walk with assistance this week. He will never know just how concerned one of his fans was.
