Emmy has really gotten into Barbie dolls lately so I rented a Barbie Mermaid movie for her. She loved it and immediately began telling us she was going to be surfer when she grew up. She has been running around the house doing her surfer moves!! John’s dad had an old guitar that he fixed up for her and she loves playing it. She cracks me up when she has John accompany her on the piano so she can play her guitar and sing.
She thinks that McDonalds is Old McDonald’s.
We continue to have a rough time in the mornings. She gets up so early (6am) and the earlier we try to put her in bed, the more she fights it and the later it is when she actually goes to sleep. The other day she was in our bed (we are not consistently starting out in her bed in the evenings but even when we do, she wakes in our bed!) and I was trying to gently wake her. She woke up crying that we had moved her book while she slept. I told her she didn’t bring it in our room and it was still in her room so I carried her in there to kind of chill out. I went to put on my makeup and she got up, turned off the light and slammed the bedroom door!!! I thought she would be lying on the bed when I got there but she was sound asleep again. I fully expected lots of slamming of doors but I thought I had a few years before it started. Peggy (Gigi) said she took her girls’ doors off the hinges when they slammed them. I am afraid that is going to be coming around a lot sooner than later for us.
