So at the dinner last night, our plastic utensils were tucked inside these tiny Santa hats. I brought mine home, and gave it to Emerson this morning. She thought it was so cute and funny. She stuck it on her tiny toes and then her tiny fingers, and was kissing it. So weird and silly!

Tater Tot woke up at 4am today. For no apparent reason. I went in to rock her for a while and get her back to sleep, but it took about 35 minutes. Even then, she didn’t want me to lay her down, but I told her Mommy was too tired to hold her (I was nodding off in the chair while rocking her), and she needed to sleep in her bed for a little while longer before it was time to get up. So I laid her down and covered her up, and scratched her back for a few minutes, which she loves. And then I crept back to my bed.
And then by 5:55, she was awake again, and calling for Mommy. So I went to get her, planning to bring her back to our bed for just a bit and keep her calm (I usually get up at 6:15am), but she was just instantly wide awake and silly and sweet, but not quiet and calm. So Jeff took her in the living room to watch a movie while I got dressed, and she wanted Cheetos for her morning snack. Haha, this girl and her snacks.
About halfway through getting myself ready, I came to check on them, and this is how I found them. Emmie quietly crunching her Cheetos, and Daddy just “resting his eyes.”

As I was getting Emmie out of the car this morning, she got mad at me, because I wouldn’t let her bring her ball into school. I told her it might get lost or something, but it would be waiting in her car seat for after school. None of that mattered though, and she was starting to cry and be so upset. BUT then she saw Ms. Q getting out of her car and walking towards us, and look at this happy little girl! She still loves Q so much 🙂

This morning, this cutie baby had some milk sitting on the kitchen counter (in her crazy cup she picked out at the Dollar Tree with Grammy last week), and then took her Cheerio’s in the car for the road. (She also picked out her own shoes today.)

Sunlight in the fall is seriously gorgeous. Whether it’s bright and shiny first thing in the morning at sunrise, or in the late afternoon when it’s golden and dusky, you should pay more attention to September Sunshine, because it’s simply beautiful. (I had been hoping to get a photo of the afternoon sunlight, but it got weird and gray and cloudy, so I’ll look for that sunshine another day.)

The sunrise was absolutely beautiful this morning! Did anyone else see how big & bright & orange it was, around 7:30am?
We actually started our day with a quick visit to the doctor’s office. Emerson woke up with a runny nose & cough, saying her ears hurt. So we figured that must be an ear infection, and we would go ahead and take her straight in to be seen. Despite her ear-ache, she was still in good spirits, enjoying some milk!

Pretty little baby girl all dressed up for church… and worrying about a piece of trash she saw in the driveway.

As soon as she wakes up and we go into the kitchen, she asks for a “nack.” Today, she had this peanut butter chocolate bar for her pre-breakfast. It was only 68 degrees at 7am, so we opened the screen door, and ate by the back door. And it felt so nice!

Some days, I have only Emerson-related things to share. Today though, is full of a whole slew of random, fun things! So let’s get to it, even if the first thing isn’t exactly “fun” ….
Welp, my morning didn’t get off to quite the right start, and I officially feel like an idiot. I sideswiped a trash can with my passenger side mirror, and it came completely off my car. I was on one of those super skinny roads (just a few minutes from our house), and I was hugging the side as another car came towards me, and I didn’t realize how close I was to the trash cans on the side… I had to turn around and go back and pick it up out of the middle of the road. The whole thing was in three parts, and the mirror was broken and shattered. It can’t be salvaged, and will need to be completely replaced. I was so mad at myself for such a stupid thing!
