Boys vs. Girls
Lately, we've been having an ongoing conversation about boys vs. girls & how she wants to "be" a boy. This whole conversation started of all things, over panties/underware! Since Emelia is not a "girly" girl and tends to like most things "boy" (ie: Lightning McQueen, Spiderman, Thomas the Train, bugs, etc.) she's decided that when it's time to get dressed she doesn't want to wear anything pink - because it's for a girl and she doesn't like any of her panties because they don't have Lightning McQueen or Spiderman on them! Also, I'm constantly corrected if I call them "panties" she now has to call them "underware." So...last night we were at Kohl's getting a few new pieces of clothes for her & I told her she could pick out some new panties. So...over we went to browse and let me tell you, the woman who was standing there looking at the Toddler clothes hasn't laughed that hard probably in years! Emelia went STRAIGHT to the boys side of the display and declared "SPIDERMAN....I want these ones Mama!" Of course I tried to explain that those were for little boys & her "style" were on THIS side of the display. 10 minutes later I gave up & asked her if she wanted to go look at the blue coats, I lied (I know!) and said they didn't have her size in panties! The poor woman who had to listen to me explain underware wandered off laughing & saying "Good Luck! At least she knows what she wants!" So, we left Kohl's with a Christmas dress & a new coat but no new underware!

Rocking Song - Acapella
I ran across this song the other day & just fell in love with it. Here are the words to the song that's playing here.
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song
Gonna hold this child, gonna hold her tight
Gonna hold my baby till the morning light
Though I may be tired and I may be weak
I will love this child so small and meek
Gonna hold this child, gonna hold her tight
Gonna hold my baby till the morning light
Gonna let her know that nothing's wrong
Gonna hold my baby and sing this rocking song
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song (this child)
Gonna hold this child, gonna hold her near
Gonna hold my baby, wipe away her tears
I will keep on rocking till she feels all right
Gonna sing her songs about Jesus Christ (Jesus)
Gonna hold this child, gonna hold her near
Gonna hold my baby, wipe away her tears
I will cradle my child until the pain is gone
Gonna hold my baby and sing this rocking song
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song (sing this rocking song)
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song
Gonna hold this child, gonna hold her near
Gonna hold my baby through the tender years
As she starts to learn, as she starts to grow
I will show her things she needs to know
Gonna hold this child, gonna hold her near
Gonna hold my baby through the tender years
As she moves away and the days grow long
I will pray for my baby and sing this rocking song
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song (and sing this rocking song)
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song
Gonna hold this child though she's far away
Gonna hold my baby like it's yesterday
Though I may not see and I may not know
Gonna keep on praying rocking to and fro (to and fro)
Gonna hold this child though she's far away
Gonna hold my baby like it's yesterday
Gonna let her know my love's lifelong
While she hold her baby and sings her rocking song
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song (and sing this rocking song)
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song (sings her rocking song)
Sing this rocking, sing this rocking, sing this rocking song (sings her rocking song)
