Ms. Gussy,
I love you. Thank you for the message. The video.
I made you some cookies. My mom said I couldn’t mail them to you.

Love, Emma

Ms. Gussy,
I am eating my lunch. We shouldn’t talk with
our mouths full. I love to bake! Do you have a
mother and a father? What is your favorite color?
It’s time for my nap. Do you take naps?

Love, Emma

dear emma,

you are right, it’s not polite to talk with your mouth full.
i do it sometimes, too… i just love to talk so sometimes i forget!
ooops! guess what, i do have a mother & father!!! they are so fun and make
me laugh. my favorite color is pink. bright pink, like strawberry colored.
what is your favorite color?

ps. how was your nap? :)

love, gussy


Early this morning I posted a vlog, and then later this morning I received an email from Emma via her mama. Isn’t Emma THE SWEETEST? I wrote Emma back, and we were pen pals all afternoon. Finally Emma had to take a nap, but when she woke up her mama emailed me a vlog of Emma asking me a few more questions, along with sharing her parents names, something about a headband, and her dolls…

Seriously, soooo precious!

PS. Emma, please send me a few cookies to sample ;]
