When I grow up, I want to be a mother...

Okay, if you are Jan or Jen, you are now singing "and have a family.  One little, two little, three little babies of my own." from the Janice Kapp Perry song that the title of this post came from.  If you are not Jan or Jen, You can pretend to know the song and make up your own tune.  Anyway, on to bigger and better things!

Today was picture day at Emma's preschool.  They wanted the children to dress up in the profession that they want to be when they grow up. 

When I asked Emma what she wanted to be, she told me that she wanted to be a mommy.  I thought that was sweet, but I also thought it might be hard to come up with an outfit to dress her in.  Thus, I suggested several other occupations she could dress as.  However, she kept telling me that she wanted to be a mommy, so that is what she dressed as.  The best I could come up with was putting her in the most "grown-up" looking outfit I could find and sending her with a baby doll and a purse, so that is what we did. 

 I don't actually know how the professional pictures turned out.  

Her teacher said she didn't smile, (which does not surprise me a bit) so I decided to take some pictures at home here. She was so good.  She did all the little poses that I told her to do and was really cute about the whole thing.  She loved holding the little baby dolls.  It was darling and I think she will be a wonderful mother.  

I hope she still wants to be a mother when she does grow up.

She also liked the little purse that I put together for her.  I put it together so that there were several things sticking out like a shopping list, money, a credit card, sunglasses, lipstick and a cell phone. 

I soon found out that the lipstick was one of her favorite things.  By the time we got home from preschool, she had put some on all by herself and had and nice red line coming from her lips and going across her cheek.  It was really cute though.

After the pictures I tried to get her to change, but she wanted to wear her little outfit all day.  I tried to discourage this since she was wearing a sweater and it was 80 degrees outside.  However, she seemed to like it despite getting quite warm.  

I am excited to see how the pictures turned out.  I hope they are cute!
