Silly Girl

We were very excited that Jemma was asked to model for a local children's clothing store a few weeks ago.   She wore a beautiful white dress and was asked to stand in a box (for better lack of a word!) and wave to people and show the dress off.  Little did they know the diva they had invited!  Oh yes, she waved.  She twirled.  She danced.  She sang...loudly!  She did this for a good thirty minutes.  She was awesome!  I have a few pictures to share, but also wanted to just write down for memories sake her quip tonight!

She was manipulating bedtime as she is so good at it.  I am lured onto the stairs to lay down for "another 5 minutes" after she tells me she won't be nice to me if I don't.  The kind and caring mom sucker that I am, I start up the stairs.  She takes my hand in hers and leads me up telling me, "If you will never yell at me, or put me in time out, or bite me (please refer to our last day in Germany post if you don't understand this part!), then I will be nice to you."  I guess it makes perfect sense if you think about it!  Wouldn't everyone in the world get along better if we followed this simple philosophy?

Have a great Sunday!

Watch out American Idol!  Here we come!!!

 
I just want to say to everyone how touched I am by the blog that is now on my sidebar about a little boy named Jedidiah.  He is battling a rare form of cancer and being so incredibly brave.  His story is amazing and his parents are so strong.  It truly makes me appreciate my baby girl and I am so grateful that she is healthy and happy.  I am praying for Jed and his family and pray that God continues to lift them through their trials.
