Recently Emily has become very independant and has started doing her own hair (with the exception of my helping her brush it!) and is even making her own sandwiches. I know I should be thrilled with this, but it is rather depressing to me that my little girl is growing up so quickly. This is a picture of the very first time she did her hair by herself. She got so many compliments at the stores.
She has been so funny with magazines lately. I will finish reading a magazine and Emily will pick it up, sit down and start "reading" it. I came out of the kitchen one day and saw this...I thought it was just precious.
And finally...Emily comes to work with me for a few hours a couple of mornings each week. She has her routine of grabbing the Post-its and writing on them and sticking them everywhere. One moring she drew these. She even explained to me what they were. The one of the left means that we can't have any mean people at the hotel. The one of the right means we can't have any scary people at the hotel! They are still hanging on the front desk!
It finally happened...SUMMER ARRIVED!! We spent Thursday out all day at the pool. I managed to sunscreen Emily, who managed to come out with a minor sunburn on her shoulders and legs. I, however, thought that I would be ok and did not apply sunscreen. You would think I would learn after doing this every summer! I burned so bad that I have blisters! I guess 5 hours on sun was a bit excessive! 
Every night, Emily starts off in my room because her and Molly will stay up playing all night if we put them to bed at the same time. In order for sleep, we opted to have Emily start off in my room and then I move her when I go to bed into her room. I went to go put her in her bed one night and this is what I found...her on the opposite side of the bed, backwards and at the end of my bed! I loved it!
