Emma Bits

Bit #1:
I am running the Soldier Field 10 Mile race this Saturday, and I told Em that she and her sister are coming to the football stadium to cheer me on.
Em: "Again????"
Me: "What do you mean, 'Again?' You've only seen me in one other race! I thought you'd be excited."
Em: "But why do you keep running? Adults don't run! What are you running from?"
Me: "I'm not running from anything. I am running to something. In a race, everyone is trying to get to the finish line as quickly as they can."
Em: "Well, can't you just take the bus? It's faster."

Bit #2:
She rocks a mean hula hoop.

Bit #3:
I found this in a stack of papers this morning, and I actually teared up a little.
