Getting Anna off to school.

We drove to Evansville yesterday to see Anna off to college. Jacob rode with his dad, my dad rode with me and Emma. We got to see Anna's new room, and meet her roommate and her parents.

Later after we got back home, Emma asked me who was going to tell her "Don't let the bed bugs bite." when she went to bed. It has been a thing between the two girls that Anna would always say that when Emma went to bed. Emma has really gotten attached to Anna, and it was made an even stronger bond this past summer with her spending more time with Anna, and having sleep overs in Anna's room. Earlier this year, Anna and Emma went to Build-A-Bear and Emma got a bear from Anna that she named Sophia. They put a voice box inside that says "I love You." when sqeezed. Last night as I was getting Emma into bed I heard her squeeze Sophia a couple of times and say "I love you Sissy. Don't let the bed bugs bite."

She's got an argument...

I didn't say that it was the best argument tho.

Emma went along when I took Jacob to the dentist today. In the playroom there is a TV, and Sponge Bob was on. Emma knows that I do not like her to watch that show, and shared that information with the other children. On the way home she made a case for why I should allow her to watch the show again. On of her arguments was that there were some of her favorite things in the show, like a sponge and a starfish. Her most compelling argument tho was that "God made TV. And God made the things on TV. Remember God?"
