looking through my phone pictures from the last couple of days, i think emme is hilarious lately. i think i thought that kids go through the whole pull-all-their-clothes-off-and-run-around phase a little earlier than now, and i guess i just figured we weren't going to go through that particular rite of passage. oh, but i was so wrong. every day when i pick her up, emme is in some state of undress. her newest preference is pulling one arm out of her neck and hanging out with the one-shouldered look. the highlight of her day is after dinner (and sometimes before), when she is allowed to strip down and run gleefully through the house shouting "iiiiiiii'mmmmm NAKED!". it's too funny/adorable to try to make her stop.
anyway. i'm saying this only to explain the lack of clothing in the photos below. the first was on a random night this week when she not only stripped before dinner, but also convinced me she needed 3 clementines (i usually stop her at 2). she started putting them in front of her teeth like a mouth guard - what a funny kid. the second happened on sunday afternoon when she discovered an additional pack of christmas stickers my mom sent in a package. her daddy showed her how to peel them off the backing by herself, so she decorated her body, including the snowman on her belly button, my favorite touch. she pulled her pants off so she could make sure she had a sticker on each knee, obviously. third, and featuring her preferred one-shoulder look, is from last night when i squirted a small dollop of readi-whip onto her blackberries for dessert because she had eaten a PILE of spaghetti, meatballs, and spinach. maybe i should give her sweets a tad more often so she knows how to control herself? and finally, fully-clothed, is ek before school on monday, our first day of real cold this year. she just looks so big in winter clothes, i can't take it! and the face she is making is the face she now makes when i ask her to smile for the camera. what a ham.
