Bring on the Snow

 

 

I'm beginning to think we are never going to get a real snow. So we are having to work with what little we get and apparently for Emma, it just doesn't matter. She enjoyed playing on the deck in the dusting of snow that we got on Saturday. She managed to throw some snow balls and we built a tiny little snow family. This child loves the snow!

 

If this face doesn't represent pure bliss I don't know what does. You can see the child's tonsils she is so excited!

In none snow related news, Emma used the term "let's rock and roll momma" yesterday when I asked her if she was ready to go. I almost fell over laughing. She told me she learned it at school.

We are also having to work on sharing. Obviously Emma doesn't have to do a lot of sharing at home since her brothers are grown. On Tuesdays I pick up some other little girls and apparently my girl was a bit of a bully and made Hannah get out of her chair. What shocked me was that Hannah did it. She is older and has 3 sisters! I had a talk with Emma about sharing and I also had a talk with Hannah and told her not to let my girl get her way! I could tell that Emma was bothered by her behaviour, but it remains to be seen how she will behave next time.

Another problem that we are having is that if Emma smells something....or someone....that doesn't smell just right to her, she has to point it out. And not in a discreet way. We were standing in line at Walmart last night getting her "peppperonnnni" Lunchables because that is what Austin has at school, when she got a whiff of the lady's jacket that was in front of us and proceeded to inform me that "shoooo momma, stinks". Well great. Luckily the lady wasn't really paying attention but we had to have another talk about not saying things like that. Oh this child. Out of the mouth of babes.....

Soccer practice should begin this afternoon and Emma couldn't be more excited. She has informed me that she will run fast and kick the ball and then showed me her muscles. Bring it on!
