TODAY is a great day.

Emily is 7 today.
So 7 facts or things I love about Emily.

She has got the blondest hair of all the kids.  It was whitish for a while.
She plays with her ears when she is tired.  She has done this since she was a baby and still does it as she is falling asleep.  She even has a little bend in her ear where she loves to rub it best.

She has a great imagination and loves to pretend still (although at less degrees) with her little sister.

She is the only one of my 5 that I went into labor on my own with.  I had this dream of the "perfect birth" without any drugs, but the first two were started with and not quite what I had imagined.  With Emily I walked into the hospital at abo pitocin ut 5:30 at 6cm.  I walked around the room for as long as I could and at 9cm I laid down and had her within 20 minutes.  They immediately placed her on my chest and covered us with warm blankets.  She looked up at me for the longest time, like she was trying to take me in.  It was an instant bond.

She is very observant and will often stare at something when she is trying to figure it out (including people.)

She has a shoe fetish and loves dress up walk walks.

But she is very picky about how things fit and when she was younger we would have to duck tape the velcro shoes closed because they didn't close tight enough for her.

  

Happy Birthday Emily. 

I love you!
