Emmie's Poem
The other day, Madeline and Emmie were trying to remember one of their favorite poems from a book that my mom has. The poem is called, "I Went to the Store", and it was written by Jack Prelustsky. This whimsical poem is about a person who goes to the store and gets all sorts of things that he didn't go there for. Here are the opening lines:
I went to the store for a pear and a plum. The fruit was all gone, so they sold me a drum.
The rest of the poem is similar, and like I said, the girls love it.
Well, the girls couldn't remember the poem, so Emmie offered this one:
I went to the store to buy some more. When I got home, I found out I was poor.
Pretty cute and creative, if you ask me!

"Let Me Be Your Wings" Video
Here is a video of Emmie, singing "Let me be Your Wings" from the animated movie Thumbelina:
She won't allow other people to watch her, especially if they're smiling at her, so I had to hide upstairs and shoot the video from the second-floor balcony... [She says that if someone is watching her she gets nervous.] In the video, Emmie is looking at Madeline, who is in the next room (kitchen). At the end you can hear them both laughing after Emmie runs off-camera.
