Emily

Last night snuggling:

Emily:  I love you, Mama.
Me:  I love you, too.
Emily:  You're the only mama I'll ever have.
Me:  You're the only Emily I'll ever have.


Yesterday, Eva received a free pass to wear jeans today for surpassing her benchmark test score.  Eva usually never wears jeans when they are allowed, but Emily always does (she hates uniforms).  I knew Eva getting this pass would bother Emily, but she never showed it until this morning in the bathroom:

Emily:  I just want to rip up her card (the pass to wear jeans)!
Me:  Don't you dare!
Emily: It's not fair!
Me:  It is fair.  Eva was rewarded for something she did. 
Emily:  (tears)
Me:  (went to the kitchen to make sure the pass was still intact - it was)

Apparently, Eva had been bragging about getting to wear jeans, and it was just too much for Emily to take.
