Two of Emily's favorite things right now are her "fragile collection" and going to You're Fired (a paint your own pottery place). As luck would have it, those two things go hand in hand. She absolutely loves going to You're Fired. So much so that she asked her brothers for gift certificates for Christmas...well I asked for her because really, the place is expensive. Luckily they obliged and we have been twice since Christmas.

After we get the piece back it goes directly to Emily's fragile collection. This is set up in the top of her bookcase and now it is moving onto other shelves as well.

I can't wait to get this beauty back on Friday, it is the 3rd princess she has painted so far

The moon piece is from You're Fired and the others are from a set Santa gave her

Emily loves to add to the collection with anything she deems "fragile" There are even ceramic characters from my trip to Disney when I was in the 4th grade.....thanks Mom for saving them...I think

No - Go

I am sure you are all waiting to find out if Emily is going to sign up for dance again. The answer is, much to my surprise, NO! I was shocked. Kellie and I spoke to Evie and Emily separately and together and they both said they want to sign up for gymnastics instead. These conversations happened before the recital so I actually signed Emily up for dance thinking after the recital she would change her mind. She didn't, so I dropped the class. I am not really sure why she wanted the change, maybe ballet was a bit boring and gymnastics is more active? I know she loved being on stage at the recital but she thought all the waiting for her turn to go on stage was boring.

In any event we are back in gymnastics!

The Reader

To say that I love the Bedford Montessori School would be an understatement. Their program is amazing, and just right for Emily. Watching her learn to read has been amazing, I still cant believe it is happening. And by the way...Emily loves her school too!

Museum of Fine Arts

Last week Emily and I were treated to a day at the MFA by my brother's mother in law, Diana. She is a volunteer there and knows the ins and outs of the museum. We were able to enter the museum before it opened to avoid the midday crowds. To say Emily loved the experience would be an understatement. There were 4 art projects spread throughout the museum which was a highlight for Emily. She also loved looking at the art and would pick her favorite painting in each room.
