Are we there yet? Sometimes it feels like we are nearer to those teenage years with Emily than I would like. Tuesday night Emily got her first phone call from a boy in her school class. (Reality check, she is in kindergarten!) They giggled and laughed. She even tried to leave with the phone and go down to her room to have her "conversation." (Big No-No) The call only lasted a few minutes since most of it was giggles and confusion. Though the situation was kind of funny, I found out that our Emily had given her phone number to a boy, so of course he wanted to call her. I laughed with the mom at the humor of the moment, but let her kindly know that Emily's phone privileges were very limited. (ie, no phone calls from boys).
Our dearest Em already loves primping, jewelry, make-up & accessories far more than an almost 6 year old should. We've tried to curb this desire that a little with out crushing her independence and creativity. If it feels like this now, I can't imagine what it will be like in another few years! Take good notes all you friends with older kids. I'll be needing you, but hopefully not too soon.
