So, mine and Emmy's birthday are one week apart, and thus we have a very special little May-baby connection that makes me smile. I always like to do something special with the kittens for their birthday (something with just the two of us! no Daddy, no siblings, just US!), and this year I decided that Emmy and I should go to the Dallas Art Museum and hang out. Emmy is our Little Artist in Residence, after all, and she just gets it.
The weather was so lovely last Saturday, and after waking to some beautiful morning sunshine, Emmy came in and cuddled and watched parts of Rigoletto with me. We were so into it, she even paid attention as I got dressed so she could tell me what the subtitles said (what a doll). :)
We then spent a fine afternoon at the DMA, where we ate lunch, did arts/crafts, and lusted over everything--including an opulent furniture exhibit (Emmy said, "I'm just really into furniture right now." and she's TEN). She is so fun to share art and artistic impressions with her because she really understands to look at all the details and the bigger picture at the same time. Plus, she's beautiful and mature and hilarious, and I adore her.
