funnies

It's a good thing she is so funny. I needed some humor yesterday. I almost had a 4 year old for sale. :)

She brought this lovely home from Ms Laura's yesterday. She loooooves drawing and she's getting really good at drawing pictures of people with real details (hands, eyes, etc). This is a picture she drew of her family. There's me on the left, and Roger on the right. Little Emma in the middle and we're all standing on grass. How cute is it that we're all under a rainbow?! Anyway, my favorite part?


That we all have antennas.



Second funny of the day had to do with this fantastic gift:


She got this wonderful bead-making kit from Cailin for her birthday and Ms Laura told me how much Emma enjoyed opening it. According to her, the conversation went a little like this:

Emma: (opening gift) "Oh! cool! beads!"

Laura: "Yes - you can make your own necklace or bracelet, and you can spell words. You can spell anything you want....like, 'mom' or 'peace' or 'love'. You could spell your name....anything!"

Emma: "Oh! I am going to make a necklace for my mom!"

Laura: "That's great! What do you think you'll spell?"

Emma: (without missing a beat) "Peace and Quiet".

love that girl. :)

wordless wednesday

drawrings

Keeping our funny bone alive, this one. I keep a cube note pad & pen by my bed (you know, for all those annoying middle-of-the-night-emergency-thoughts). Emma likes to doodle on it while I change the sheets or put away my clothes. After she finishes her masterpieces, she starts stashing. She likes to stash them between the pages of my book, tucked inside my shoes and inside my underwear drawer. She gets a big kick out of me finding them. As soon as I show her my discoveries - I kid you not - she usually asks me if I want her to 'sign her work'. Where did that come from?!

Anyway, thing is, she's getting pretty good! She went through a period of anal retentive circles (think reeeeeeallly small circles, hundreds of them on a sheet of paper). Then a letter "T" phase. Well, now it's an astronaut/alien hybrid. I think it's pretty darn hilarious. She's awesome.
