I realize I just did a blog on sweet Emily Grace over the weekend, but she came over again today to swim with her family, and she had some things she wanted to share. I told her I would pass them along to you, since she doesn’t have a blog. Yet, that is.

She had some really great things to say!

First of all,  Emily says, “Life is short, so enjoy the ride. And, when someone offers you a little yellow-floaty boat, get in it! You never know when the next one is coming around.” (Or if your brother might get it first.)

Enjoy the Ride

 

Secondly, “Swim naked whenever it is possible and appropriate. This is very important to your well-being. It’s so easy, a baby can do it!”

 

Swimming Free

 

Thirdly, “Learn to whistle as early as you can in life. It makes the time pass nicely, and sometimes people will dance when you do.”

 

Just Whistling

 

Fourthly, ” Surprise people with funny faces. Life is too serious sometimes. A good surprise face makes everyone happy.”

 

Surprise Face

 

Fifthly, ” Learn to stand up for yourself. Especially if you have brothers like I do.”

 

You Talking to Me???

 

And lastly, and best of all, ” Learn to just chill and go with the flow. Pretend like you meant to grab the green noodle floaty-thing if someone asks. Yeah, just chillin’, it’s all good.”.

 

Just Chillin'

 

I am so glad she came by again today! She is wise beyond her years.:) Who knows what she will come up with next time? I love that little girl.

    You got me on this one. I finally laughed out loud at the whistle picture.
    Pretty good wisdom here.
    I am particularly intrigued by her second wise stance ( insert Annie’s suprise face)
    what happens when we grow up?
    Control and false propriety can strangle life cutting off its ability to live an adventure.
    Super fun blog.
