Four years old! She snuck out of bed last night while we were watching the Opening Ceremonies (unbelievable by the way!) and saw all the decorations Leslie had put up... She could barely contain herself :) The best was last night:
"Emily, you're going to be four years old tomorrow!!"
"Today?"
"Tomorrow, after you get up from sleeping!"
"Today?"
"No, when you get up from sleeping, tomorrow. When it's tomorrow, it'll actually be today [that was a great way to get her to understand...]"
"Today?"
"Sure."
The "today" "tomorrow" "tonight" stuff still has a little work left... Anyway, she woke up this morning and remembered that she was four years old! She's been wanting to open presents all day, so we let her open one when I got back from Camp Turning Points this morning (what a week it's been getting ready for that!!). Benjamin gave her a little bunny with a bottle (already lost it..), some bracelets and... something else I can't remember right now.. good ole memory working well for me again.
We've got a party planned tonight, where Emily will be one of three guests under the age of 30 or so... We've got my dad and mom, Leslie's parents, Amy, Brian and their two kids, and Chebon and Kate. I can't wait to see all the old folk playing pin the tierra on the barbie :)
I'll get some pictures up of the party and presents after we're done. We can't believe she's already four, and in just a week and a half will be going to McKinley! Wow!
Ummmm, hi. I think I might be here too?
