Painted faces

today we went to a local festival. they had several kids' activities - emma loved jumping in "her castle" and sliding down the big slide, and she had a great time with the different crafts. she also really enjoyed face painting. she got her face painted twice. at the second table, the man painting faces was being funny when emma sat down and started telling her what he wanted on his face. emma laughed, and he kept going a little more. he was, of course, being funny, but . . . when he asked her what she wanted on her face, she looked at him totally serious and said, "no, i want to paint your face." the gentleman was so sweet and continued to play along with her and let her paint his face. of course, he had started out joking about it, and i laughed and said, 'you've asked the wrong person that question (about painting his face).' this is emma . . . i knew she was taking him literally. in the end, they both ended up with painted faces. it was very funny!

oh, and i was given a new list for tomorrow:
1. emma wants juice for breakfast
2. emma wants rice milk in the morning
3. put the swedish cinderella book in her backpack for swedish class
