My Emma

I don’t know if you’ve met my daughter, Emma, or not but she is indescribable. I love her to death and she is a true mystery. Her bedroom is decorated in Spiderman colors and posters, her favorite colors are any that she deems “boyish,” she wears Packer or Badger shirts virtually every day. Don’t be fooled, she has an incredibly soft side, but even her dress clothes have to walk a fine line with being “too girlish.” But she is a tiny little bit of a thing that I’m not even sure tips the scale past 50 pounds and she’s almost 10 years old. Well, she surprised even me yesterday. She brought home the brochure from the elementary strings program and told us that she wants to play the string bass. Now as her supportive parents we had to fight the urge to giggle and tell her that sounded great when all the while, I’m trying to picture her behind an instrument three times her size. Don’t get me wrong-I truly think it is great! But she has to check with the director to see if she’s tall enough…see why it makes me giggle?
