Friday we met up with Alyssa, Jenny and the Bean for lunch and shopping. Em sported this lovely dress that Alyssa gave her for her birthday. Super cute! I wish it came in my size!
Saturday Em and I had lunch with a bunch of my friends, one of whom brought her gorgeous little boy, F. He's a few months younger than Em, so he mostly sat there quietly and smiled, while Em ran around like a terror, getting into EVERYTHING. I trailed her most of the time, but at one point she ran into the kitchen and came back out with a sandwich from the garbage! This garbage was in a cabinet, by the way. My girl is FAST, and apparently hungry -- even after her own lunch and half of mine. I noticed the trail of panini on my friend's carpet and knew exactly what happened.
Anyhow, Em and F did humor me by sitting close together long enough for me to snap some pics.
"You think you're getting your chair back, F?"
"Ok, but only because you have nice eyes and fun hair."
"Mom! Don't embarrass me in front of my date!"
The next day we went to my in-laws', where Grandpa read Em a used Richard Scary picture book that Grandma bought from a nearby library. We all laughed as he pointed out the tagging by "Smiley," a local gang member who had also decided to pencil in male genitalia throughout the book. "That's a dentist....and he's putting *something* in his patient's mouth....what in the?!?"
Day 25's photo features Em with her stuff-around-her-neck trick. It's a flower headband I bought for her last year, but she loves to wear it like a collar.
Day 26 is a post-bathtime/pre-bedtime photo. Yes, those are her FEET.
Lastly, here's a photo from tonight's dinner. Em was probably thinking, "Why are you taking pics during this meltdown?!?! Seriously!"
