Emily turned five last month.  I can't believe how big she is getting and that we are getting ready for her to start school next year!  I love how much love for life she has.  This girl wants to have fun and play all day long.  (In fact she complained most of her birthday about not having a party, or cousins or friends over, etc.  By the afternoon I was very tired of telling her that we were not having a party this year.)  I love that she still says a few words wrong.  Bery instead of very, sompfing instead of something, uhman instead of human, ooze instead of use (or oosually instead of usually;  ooseful instead of useful).  Emily loves to help me cook and got a cook book and some easy bake oven things for her birthday that we have already used several times.  Emily loves spending one on one time with us.  She also loves making crafts.  She loves to play with other girls and idolizes her older cousins, Malia and Ellie, who are Max's age.  Boys in general are tolerated and will do in a pinch if no girls are available to play, but they are not her first choice of playmates. 

 

I substituted in her primary class several months ago and Emily got to stick pictures on the board of the kids who were there that day.  She put herself up first and then kept sliding all of the boys over to the other side of the chalkboard until she got to her friend Kealia whose picture was allowed to go up next to Emily's picture.  (Their class is mostly boys.)

 

She still loves dresses and skirts, but no longer refused to wear pants and shorts.  She is definitely a girly girl and loves all things pink, purple, sparkly, twirly, etc.  We just love our little Goosey Girl!!  Happy 5th Birthday Emily!
