Setting: Dylan Family living room, this morning, approximately 6:30am.

Ruby (nodding emphatically): Daddy, when I finish my milk I can have some candy, if it’s okay.
Daddy: No, kiddo, it’s not okay. You can’t have candy for breakfast.
Ruby: I said…if it’s okay…
Daddy: I said no. No candy for breakfast.
Ruby: I said IF IT’S OKAY!!!!
Eme (running across the room toward Daddy, arms outstretched, opening and closing her hands): Candy, candy, CANDY!!! (she throws herself to the floor and screams bloody murder).
Ruby (nodding knowingly): Ruby and Eme just want some candy.

STOP TRAFFIC: It’s Ruby’s First School Photos

December 1st, 2009 posted by Daddy Posted in Beebo, Eme | 3 Comments »

Our little girl is growing up so fast. These are her pictures from Picture Day at pre-school. I don’t know if we’ve mentioned this yet, but Ruby goes to Pre-school now at a place right down the street (like 2 blocks away) from where we live called “A Caring Place”. It’s an excellent school, we really love it. She’s been going for about a month now and it’s perfect. Eme started going to the daycare at the same site yesterday and she’s loving it, too.

Eme is still phasing in to a full day there, so today when I picked her up after her 2 hour stay she saw her sister across the playground and started yelling: “HI!! Sister!! Hi, Sister!! HI HI HI!! SISTER SISTER SISTER!!” It was the cutest thing ever. Ruby saw us, too, and ran over and gave us both a hug and a kiss. I am so happy our girls are so happy.
