After a very silly photo session, Emily is modeling her new preschool t-shirt they made during their field trip this week to Go-Hawk Graphics. She actually participated this time and was very excited about the "safety green" color (even though I would call it a neon yellow). She is loving preschool again this year and doing great.
Clothing is always interesting with Emily. She has a shirt with a built-in vest thing that she got from Grandma Lorenzen. She calls it her "cowgirl" shirt, even though it's much more rock star-looking. We also had a little battle this month over coats on a chilly morning. Emily seems to think that if she is wearing any kind of hoodie/sweatshirt she doesn't need to wear a coat because she is "already wearing a coat." That's not going to fly in January. One day she was almost in tears and explained, "The girls won't let me go outside with this ugly coat." "The girls" would be her imaginary friends. The coat would be a cute little lavender spring jacket I got from a garage sale this summer. I hope it was just that particular coat that was the issue!

| "2 twins we love are special" |
Speaking of imaginary friends, her favorites this month are Rana, age 5, and 16-year-old twins, Lany & Loony. I think that is partly inspired by the fact that Emily has twin girls in her preschool class (named Megan & Ellie). It was their birthday last week and she made them a card. They are very busy at the high school, though, playing soccer and baseball.
Emily fell into a very reliable lunch routine this month. All the sudden she decided PBJ was the best thing ever. She ate it almost every day, and I was really thankful for squeezable jelly. Her perfect lunch would be a folded-over PBJ, Cheetos or tortilla chips, fresh strawberries and a monster bar for dessert. We had to practice not eating the folded side of the sandwich first, though. :o)
