Happy Birthday Emmy!

Monkey is 3! Can you believe it?! We are celebrating by having pancakes for breakfast (one of her favorites) heading to the library for a school field trip (I am volunteering to drive and hang out – I can’t want to see her with all her buddies!) opening presents and then driving to Disneyland to spend a few days at the happiest place on earth!

I had no idea just how much Emmy would change my life when she was born. She is the most amazingly happy, friendly, fun, smart, funny, caring, beautiful little girl. Everything I do is so much more fun because of her. Being able to live life through her eyes is the greatest gift ever. Watching her face light up when she experiences something new, check herself out in the mirror when she has carefully selected her new outfit, dance around the room with no inhibitions, listening to her sing at the top of her lungs or blurt out new phrases like “You are kidding me?!” or “what are you talking about guys?”, or how excited she gets to do simple things like wash dishes or help fold laundry makes having her around fun all the time. She is so caring when someone is hurt or sad and snuggles up as if she can’t get close enough to you, but is also so funny and silly you can’t help but smile and laugh. I love her so much, she is my little monkey. Other than “I love you” the best thing she has said to me lately is “Mommy you are my best friend”. And she is mine too, forever :) She even paints my finger nails, brushes my hair and tells me when she thinks my outfit is ugly. Sigh… the sign of a true best friend.
