The other day, I was given the opportunity to spend the day just with my Joy girl. Lately, I had been feeling like she and I needed some time alone. So, often, I feel like I am scolding Emma again and again. I wanted some time with her that was completely free of scoldings!! I told myself, just for the next few hours I am not going to correct her. I pondered what I could do with her that would make our time special and decided I would take her to the Honey Moon Bakery and let her pick out a cookie. She was so excited. We walked in and I told her to pick out which cookie she wanted. As she was looking at all the cookies a ladybug cupcake caught her eye. She said , "Oh mommy I want that ladybug cupcake." I replied, "Sweetheart, mommy said a cookie, not a cupcake" (I know that was kinda bordering correcting, but the cookies were a dollar and the cupcakes were $2.75). Then Emma said, "O.k. Mommy, but they sure are beautiful, aren't they?" I have to admit she melted my heart. She obeyed right away and with such a sweet attitude. I reminded myself that today was a special day. So, can you guess what kind of treat Emma got that day? And boy, did she LOVE it!

That smile was definitely worth the extra $1.75 :) Thanks for reminding me to enjoy my little one too!!
She looks just like her uncle Aaron to me!
