It was a beautiful Texas day..Blue skies, light wind and dead grass….we were having a church fundraiser for the youth that day…I was inside watching Em play on the playground through the window..I saw her little legs run all the way to my brothers house to find herself emptying out her shoes of whatever made its way inside..Which is totally normal..she has a thing about things being on her hands or in her shoes…then a shocking move..which is not normal..she pulls her pants down…which I guess should not shock me..she is three and does something random every moment it seems…as I still wonder why the heck she does this, she makes her way across the field back to the church…I meet up with her only to hear these words…
EMMY: Mom I peed on my pants..
ME: What?
EMMY: I peed on my pants…
ME: Em why didnt you go to the bathroom?? (remind you the girl has been potty trained since she was 2)
EMMY: Because we are in Texas….
wait for it …wait for it…
EMMY: and in Texas you pee outside….
ME: (floored..stunned…shocked…laughing like crazy inside)
ME: No you dont Em…you go the bathroom and use the potty
EMMY: the boys do it…
There you have it…like the saying goes…when in rome do like the romans..and when in texas do like the texans!
Needless to say she has alot of little boy cousins that I had a little talk with!
Here is my Em in all her glory with GORGOUS Texas golden light!

ciao for now…shel
