All about the berries

This past Sunday Emily and I went to pick strawberries with CC and her mom. We had a blast. Emily must have eaten 10 berries. She was covered in sweet, sticky goodness. She looked like a pro. I got a dose of the latest saying, "I don't need your help." So, she grabbed her bucket and off she went. Too funny! She really did a great job. This pic looks like Emily is explaining the what and what nots to CC. She's just like her mom, our way or no way!

The cherished Minnie Dress

I have to post about Emily's most prized possession at this time, her Minnie Dress. We eat, sleep, play and talk non stop about this dress. She was Minnie Mouse this past Halloween and she hasn't gone a day without the dress since. This dress is very well made to endure all the washings and constant wearing. Lately she puts on the dress and adds as many accessories as she can possibly fit onto her body. Notice the 6 bracelets, clip on earrings, and the princess shoes. Come by our house on Saturdays and you'll see the Minnie Dress with tap shoes all day long (Calgon take me away!).

Motivational Quote of the day......

Emily got up in the middle of the night again so none of us had a great night of sleep which puts us running late and on edge the next morning. So I was fussy, and Emily was fussy right back. Teenage years are going to be great I can tell already! So we are finally in the car and this is our conversation:

Emily: "Mom, you aren't being very nice."

Me: "Well, you've been fussing at me all morning. Let's just be quiet and listen to your cd."

Emily: "Mom, No Whining!"

What do you do when your 2 yr old puts you in your place? I was a little hot and bothered but she is right, so NO Whining! Thought of the day....
