Fall Approaching

So, for me and Emily fall has arrived. Forget the calendar. We don't need that. That is for "other people." For us, fall is a state of mind. It is filled with freshness and a crispness. It is filled with pumpkins and leaves and decorations, parties, fairs, festivals, friends, family, and fun. This weather in invigorating. I have opened up the windows in the house lately and let the breeze flow in. At night the chill will hit and I will have to grab a warm blanket and curl up on the couch. Yeah!! Sock time is coming. I can bust out my awesome array of socks. We have the whole house decked out. Emily has already worn 2 of her 3 pair of Halloween pajamas. She even wore them out in public. We were getting a few looks. Yes, I know it is only the beginning of Sept. Who cares. So what if it looks like a pumpkin puked at our house. It makes us happy. I am just glad Em shares in my enthusiasm for this lovely holiday and time of year.

A few other things. Em sat through a whole movie. We watched all of Ice Age. She did great! She also can write her first name and A-J of the alphabet. She knows when her birthday is and the months of the year. Okay, so I am bragging a little, but that is what mothers' are supposed to do.

I had to go back to work after being off for a couple of weeks. Em said"I don't want you to go. I want to keep you." I think I will keep her too.

Story time started back at the Library. What a wonderful thing. I love taking Em. We have been going since she was a little over 1. The librarian is great. Then they have pajama story time. Too cool! Kids are so much fun. (Most of the time)

On a darker note, Emily did tell me she hated me this week. I ask myself where did I go wrong? I answer myself Spongebob. Damn you Spongebob and your pottymouth.
