My 32nd Birthday
Today is my 32nd birthday! And clearly I’m not one of those women who is secretive & coy about their age… Or at least, not at this point in life! So I got to start my day opening presents with my little family.

This little girl was very happy to be wearing her new Crocs to school today. These are the first ones she picked out to try on when we were at Beall’s Outlet the other night, and coincidentally they were the right size, and they looked stinking adorable on her, and they were only like, $12.99! I’ve never actually been a huge fan of Crocs, but how could I resist when they look this cute on her?!

In this first photo, Emerson just look impossibly TALL to me! So tall and lanky, she’s just the skinniest little thing still! And in all the other photos, she just looks smiley, happy and adorable!

…
Emerson actually slept a little bit later today, so we all got to sleep in until a few minutes after 7am! One hour later doesn’t seem like much, but it really helps when it’s that early in the morning, and you’re the always-tired-parent of a spunky toddler! So I got up and cuddled my girl, then put the breakfast casserole in the oven, showered myself, and then Jeff bathed Emmie before getting a shower himself.

I was soooo hoping Emmie would sleep in a little today, but she woke up at 6:08am. So we snuggled and watched Buster the Bus videos together for a while.

Emmie woke up earlier than she needed to, so her, Daddy & Pretzel watched some videos in bed while I got ready for work.

This precious girl was sleeping soundly this morning. Y’all know how often she wakes up early, so for us to walk into her room, turn on lights, make a little noise, and her still be asleep, that’s unheard of! But man she was so sweet!!

Emerson was still a little whiny & sensitive this morning, and only wanted Mommy to get her dressed for school, even though I was still getting dressed for work myself. I was also running late on my own, so with all that, I ended up being 30 minutes late to work. But we did finally make it out of the house, and she was fine, and drop-off went smooth-ish 😉

Anybody want to guess what time my girl woke up on this holiday off work? Approximately 6:30am. Phew… this girl kills me. She was cute and sweet for part of that, but she was also grumpy and whiny for a lot of it. And that was how she was allll day. It was actually kind of a rough day, between all the hissy fits and toddler tantrums and almost-constant whining. I know you other toddler mama’s have had days like this too, so you know exactly what I’m talking about.
