Emily Lately

Just a few random stories about Em lately.

• Last week Em woke up in the middle of the night screaming.  She said she was having a nightmare.  When Shawn asked her what it was about he couldn't help but laugh.  So here's a little background.  . .each Friday parents can write a mail call for their kids.  It's just a little note to them that's read aloud during circle time.  Em loves getting mail call and I'm pretty sure we've only forgotten 1 time since it's started.  Well, her nightmare was that I had forgotten to write her a mail call on cookie Friday.  Oh to be young again and have these be my greatest worries in life!  :)  I do, however, love knowing that these are Em's greatest worries!  :)

• Em loves to watch her tv shows and play games on the ipad.  We joke because it's pretty much become her ipad.  We usually have to fight her to use it.  Well somehow the ipad had gotten switched off Wifi and was on 3G instead.  Shawn got an email from AT&T showing that we only had 20% of our data plan left for a random phone number.  An hour later he got another email that said we were down to 10% of our data plan.  It took us only a few minutes to realize that Em was watching her shows on the ipad and it was completely draining our data plan minutes.  I never thought in a million years that I would have to worry about my 3 year old using up all of our minutes!  I was completely wrong!

• In the mornings when we're getting ready to leave, I will often say to Evan "come on big boy."  I've never thought too much about it until Shawn mentioned to me that when him and Em are getting ready to go somewhere she will say to Shawn "come on big boy."
