Kelly's Korner had a show us your life Friday asking for blogs about moms to girls. I know I am only the mom to 1 little girl, but what a little girl she is.
A few weeks ago we had bought an ottoman that doubles, for us, as a toy chest. We throw Emma's toys in it at night and during the day we leave it open and she can get her toys out and put them away. She loves to throw EVERYTHING in there (Emma's where's mommy's phone is a daily conversation at our house). Today I noticed she had thrown her sippy in there and as we were getting ready to leave the house I asked her to get her cup. She crawled right over to the ottoman and pulled out her cup and handed it to me! My girl's a genius!
I always thought I'd be one of those mom's who would dress her child in cute dresses and little bows and what not, but I've found that I am a mom who is all about convenience and comfort. Maybe if we were still living in south GA I'd make more of an effort (y'all know that southern influence and all), but up here it doesn't seem to matter as much (I mean hello they don't even know what college football or chick fil a is...we may live in the birth place of our country, but that is totally unAmerican y'all). I didn't even buy her a new Easter dress because I just can't justify spending a lot of money on clothes that she'll only wear a few times.

And we got so many hand me down clothes that I haven't really needed to buy Em much (thank you Cory for having a little girl before me and having such good taste...remember that pink Kate Spade is mine!).
Em makes us laugh hysterically on a daily basis although we have found that she doesn't like it if she thinks we are laughing at her...her lips turn down and start to quiver, her eyes get big, and the crocodile tears fall and then she begins whaling in earnest...poor sweet girl.
I know Paul really hopes our second child is a boy. He really wanted Emma to be a boy, but he has said that there is a big part of him that looks forward to coming home to his girls (he loves how happy and excited Emma is to see him when he gets home...I'm excited, too, but because I'm usually ready for a break by then. lol). As much as a boy would round out the family nicely I do love being the mommy to little girls.
