Emily was pretty tired tonight. Usually, when it is time to go to bed, we have to set a kitchen timer. We call it "the dinger game." When the timer goes off, it's time for her to go to bed. Tonight she didn't even wait for it, she just went to bed.

People tell you before you have kids that your life will completely change. You really don't know how much until it actually happens, though. For the first time, your life is completely about someone else. Even though they drive you nuts a lot of the time, you wouldn't have it any other way.

Emily's birthday is in a couple of weeks. I cannot believe she will be three. It seems like yesterday that she was born. Time flies, doesn't it?
