Parenting "Thought of the Day" #5

I love hearing things I've said come out of Eme's mouth because they sound so funny coming from someone so small.

Today, after seeing her give a big yawn, I asked "are you tired, baby?" She said "wong day." And then sighed.

She was right, it was a long day for both of us. But it was suddenly also a very funny day. I laughed, she laughed... a very funny, long day.

Wonder Baby Powers, activate! Form of...Cinderella ready for the ball!

Thanks, Aunt Amy, for Eme's first "pedicure" and her toddler-sized "glass slippers."

Yes, I gave my permission. Anyone who "Disney-fies" my child without permission deserves what they get from me. But how could I say no when Eme got so excited at the prospect of getting to do her toes just like mommy and Aunt Amy?

Plus, it turns out glass slippers aren't just for dancing. You should see her play football in those shoes!
