And here she is! Emmy, ready for the dance at school today. You’ll note she’s wearing ‘real’ heels (I’m required by kid law to point out such), and that her trademark ponytail is pulled back into a sleek, grown up style rather than a bouncy throw-it-all-up-and-be-done-with-it look. She even asked me for lip gloss. Lip Gloss? LIP GLOSS? Who is this child, and Where is my rough and tumble daughter??
Oh how I wish I’d taken a picture last night! Then you could understand my confusion. Last night my tomboy girls were outside in the pouring rain, playing 1 on 1 baseball and laughing hysterically. They so rarely enjoy one another’s company that much…I had to let them. That’s how I’m accustomed to seeing this little girl–with smudges and bruises and scabs. I’m not sure who this young lady is, but I’m looking forward to getting to know her.
I think she’s kinda neat! 
Awww, she looks so pretty. All the boys are gonna wanna dance with her. Send her Daddy to school to chase them all away, ok?
I hear they grow up too fast… and I’m seeing signs of it already…
Aww she’s a cutie! You’re gonna have to beat ‘em of with a stick!!
She looks lovely. I hope she has a lot of fun!
She cleaned up very nicely. Watch out because next time you turn around she might be off to her prom!
She looks great! Hope she had fun at the dance.
Awe…. she’s a cutie!
Awww, she is so cute!!
Thanks for all the compliments. Her Dad and I think she’s pretty cute, too.
She had a great time at the dance. According to Ems, she just danced in a group of girls–no boys involved. Dodged that bullet temporarily, I think!
Awwe Kell, she looks so cute!!!!I can’t beleive how big she is getting!!!!Love you and miss you!!!!
Kel, she’s all grown up! How’d she age when we didn’t?
Maybe YOU didn’t, woman, but I’m older than dirt!
Thanks for stopping by, Toots!
