We have a lot of trouble getting Emmy and going in the mornings. She has started saying she can’t wake up because her eyes are controlling her and won’t let her wake. This morning it was her ears. I told her she needed to be in control of her body and get up. Now.
Last night as we were going to sleep, Emmy had a blanket that Grandma Jackson made. I was telling her about Grandma and how they had birthdays so close together and she asked where she lived. When I told her heaven, she said, “really, is there anyone NOT in heaven?”
Every day, she has asked her teacher at school to braid her hair. When I do it, she tells me I don’t do a good enough job. She wanted to sleep in her braid the other night and I told her it would make her head hurt. The first thing she did when she woke was to come and shake her head around and say “see? I told you it wouldn’t hurt me to sleep in my braid!” We also have had to deal with a little build up on her scalp. She asked me this morning if it was all gone and then asked what it was. I told her it was gone and it was shampoo build up. She is convinced this means she never needs to shampoo her hair again.
