Almost 4 years old - I can't believe it. This picture cracks me up - skinned up knees and a frilly pony tail which you can't see very well. Emily is quite the little tom-boy with a little bit of girly in her. She is a ball of energy, but is and always has been my good sleeper both for nap time and night time.
The recent Emily-ism happened when she and Charlie were watching tv together. The show was about characters trying to catch shapes. One character was trying to catch a triangle on a fish's tale. Charlie teased Emily saying "what if the fish swam away and they couldn't get the triangle?". Emily gave Charlie a serious look and said "Dad, it's pretend, drawn on a storyboard". Charlie looked at her in disbelief and asked "What?". Emily proceeded to repeat herself word for word. Then Charlie asked Emily where she heard that and misunderstanding his question proceeded to explain to Charlie what a storyboard was. Quite interesting the things that stick in a child's brain.
Emily thoroughly enjoyed Vacation Bible School recently at our church. I had the privilege of being one of her teachers again this year. It was a joy to hear her singing the songs and saying the Bible verses.
