Well it has been a while since I have blogged. I guess I kind of got bored with it. But school has started up again and the first couple of weeks craziness has died down.
I got the urge to blog today because Emma has been in rare form lately. I'm sure every parent enjoys discovering the different gifts that their children have been given. Scott and I have recently stumbled upon Emma's gift to tell stories. Her story telling abilities are so finely tuned, you often wonder if the story is true. She told Scott the story about another kid bringing their pet monkey to school. She described the cage that it came in, and how it got out of the cage during nap time and all of the mischief that the monkey got into, including jumping on her (and Elle's) art! She has tons of believable details that did not change much as she recounted the story to me. It was so believable that Scott was asking me if there was really a monkey at school.
Last week I was duped by one of Emma's Stories. I was missing one of my FAVORITE earrings. She had bee up early the previous morning and was playing with my jewelry that I (not so smartly) remove next to the sink in the bathroom. I asked her if my earring could have possibly fallen down the sink after she played with it. She told me it did. I was pretty upset about losing it and went as far as to take the sink trap apart that night when I got home....No earring! I was going to replace it, but it was discontinued! But this morning I went to put on an orange scarf (that I have not worn in a long time) and hooked to the scarf was my missing earring!!!
