Summer (finally) started drawing to a close. The sad part of this was that Emma's job at This is the Place had to wrap up. Emma had the most delightful summer working there - she of course made so many friends and had such a great time learning the music and performing dances and songs all day long. I am very sorry to admit that I meant to go see her all summer long and just didn't make it until her very last day. I felt bad about that but also was so so glad I was there to see her last day. It was so fun! The songs they sing are just so charming and funny, plus the dances and Emma also gets to play her violin a little. I know she really wants to go back next year. And maybe this Christmas too. We were both a little teary as we walked out of the park.
The very next day was Emma's first day of school - she is now a JUNIOR. I find this to be completely bizarre. I....don't even know what to say. She's not allowed to be this old.
She is taking a theater class for the first time, which is funny because theater is her LIFE. She is bummed out because her madrigals class and orchestra class are scheduled at the exact same time - for a while she tried to kind of do both and just jump back and forth. Shockingly enough, that did not work out. She has picked madrigals and hopes to take orchestra again next year. She's in drivers ed and she and I are driving a lot together, which is, you know, just...delightful. Actually she's doing a great job but it's always nerve-wracking. She gets less mad at me than the other two did. She just laughs at me when I clutch the door handle or push on my imaginary brake. Sweet girl. The thing that helps us the most is listening to all the musicals we love on shuffle and singing along.
Love my girl so much.
