Frost
It frosted this morning.
This morning as Emily and I walked out of the door and headed to school she immediately started talking non-stop about this and that. We were a three houses past ours when I motioned that it was time for us to cross the street. As she approached the yard on the the other side, she said it mid sentence, "what the heck?" and jumped into the grass. I said it was frost. She said, "Well, frost is a part of snow, so snow is coming." I explained that the sun was going to warm up Georgia to 61 degrees today. She asked, "Can we go to Grandma's?"

Watch her G-O!
Since Emily was out of school on November the 4th for election day, I thought it would be a great day to take off from work and get a few things done.
At 9:00 we were at Portrait Innovations to get Emily's holiday pictures taken. I thought that it would go fast since we were the first appointment in the morning. Well, we still ended up waiting for the next room to become available but it sure was better than last year's waiting time.
Then it was off to the Chevy service department for an oil change and to get the tire fixed. After that, we picked up the pictures from Portrait Innovations and headed to the polls. We walked in and I voted immediately.
At this point it was after noon and we were hungry so we stopped at a pizza joint and enjoyed a yummy lunch. Emily ate really well for a change.
Since we had a few minutes to spare before her doctor's appointment, we stopped in JoAnn's and looked around.
The doctor's visit went well but very slow as usual. Emily got the flu mist. She was thrilled she didn't have to have a shot. One of the questions that the doctor asked was if Emily could ride a bike. The doctor was shocked to no ends when I told her no. She asked if I thought that something was wrong. I told the doctor that she just didn't have the desire to learn and Emily responded that yes she wanted to learn. In short, it embarrassed her. Therefore, after one more stop, we went home, got her bike and she learned how to ride her bike.
Look at her go!!
The trick to learning Emily how to ride her bike was to remove the pedals. In short, she couldn't learn to balance and pedal at the same time. Once she learned to balance herself, the pedals were put back on and it wasn't long before she was really riding her bike.

Lost Tooth
On Monday, November the 3rd, Emily lost her tooth at school. She was highly disappointment that Mrs. Baum just handed her a zip lock bag instead of sending her to the clinic. She put the tooth in the zip lock bag and put it into her book bag.
All was well until one little girl at the YMCA needed proof of Emily's so called lost tooth. I understand the little girls doubt, because Emily's replacement tooth is already half way in! Therefore, Emily pulled out the bag with the tooth. Unfortunately, the tooth never got back into the book bag. Poor Emily has a slight problem with keeping up with her things. Maybe this experience will help her remember to keep up with her things. Time will only tell.
I had to work late on Monday night and when I called to check on things on the home front, Hartford reported what had happened and she was extremely upset. I told him to tell her to write a letter to the tooth fairy and that she would understand. Here's her letter:
Here is the note that describes her crying:
Here's the snack that she left the tooth fairy.
Her innocents melts my heart.
