Whenever we have a swim meet, track meet, futsal game, soccer game, basketball game or any other event to watch Thomas and Jacqueline in, Emily comes PREPARED!
Not that Emily doesn't LOVE her siblings, but let's be honest here; being at these events can get pretty boring for an eight year old (or even a 36 year old!)
We are lucky, having 3 children makes it a lot easier to support each other at all the events because we aren't spread as thin. Emily doesn't always feel like this is a blessing; BUT she has learned to make lemonade out of "lemons"
She can be seen struggling to carry all of her bags full of stuff into each event to keep her entertained. I know, I am a mean mom, I make her carry everything she brings. (this makes it so she can't bring her ENTIRE room! )
Even though she makes huge messes, she is a great cleaner! (It only took a few times of having to earn her things back) She knows how to win her mom's heart!
No matter where we go, Emily is sure to find the PERFECT spot to spread out all of her supplies and toys (Barbies, Petshops, My Little Ponies...) I'm sure it makes it nice for the other moms since she always has PLENTY to share :)
It makes for some fun memories and some sweet Lemonade :)
