…Painting Toenails
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!

Christmas Choir Kick-off 2019
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.”

Tropical Toddler
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 🙂

Munching on Ice
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.)

September Sunshine
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.)

Delirious Baby Girl
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!

Saturday Shopping
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!

Sideswiped My Car Mirror
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!

Butter Noodles
Sweet little girl had another good morning drop-off, with no tears or problems! On the way there in the car, she started saying Q, so I said “no Q is your old teacher.” But she said “no, Q, Q, Q!” I repeated myself, but she said, “Q dinner!” So I said, “oh you mean Aunt Suzanne?” (Her nickname Suzy Q.) And she said “yes! Dinner!” So then she told me all of our usual family dinner people, one by one! She loves her family.

Counting to Ten
This pretty little princess had a perfect morning drop-off. We stopped outside for our usual morning-photos, and then she walked in by herself. She marched all the way down the hallway, straight into her classroom, and just went right for Ms. Sheila! She picked her up, and then Emerson turned around and waved bye to me! No fussing, whining or crying at all. And I practically skipped out I was so happy 🙂
(P.S. – don’t judge her super wrinkly skirt. I’m not an iron-er.)

Three Babies, Thrifting & Painting
Labor Day 2019 has been a good one!
First thing this morning, Emerson and I went over to Aunt Meggie & Uncle Bo’s house. I wanted to see the babies a little bit, and Aunt Meggie wanted some special one-on-one time with Emmie.

Time After Time
This pretty little girl was the very first one in her Sunday school class today at church, so I stayed and played with her for a few minutes.

Pink Lemonade
It appears at this point, we’re just destined to wake up at 6:30 every weekend for the next 10-ish years I guess… I mean, she’s cute, but I wouldn’t be mad about sleeping in a bit longer.

I Could Have Danced All Night
We had another smooth morning drop-off this morning. It seems we’re finally settling in with her new classroom and her new teacher, and things are going much better this week. On last night’s post, a fellow GR-mom commented that her son was having a rough drop-off, and Emerson came over to comfort him and talk about farm animals. It was so precious, and it made me so proud of her sweet little heart!

Power Outage
This sweet little baby girl did absolutely perfect at school drop-off this morning! She wanted to walk herself to her classroom (some days I carry her), so she was holding my hand. While walking, I asked her, “Are you going to be a big girl and go into your class to see your teacher?” And she responded, “Yeah!” When we walked through the classroom door, she just went on in and let go of my hand, and walked straight to Ms. Sheila! I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, and then she waved bye-bye, and I was so proud of her!
