As life happens to pass by we need to take certain things into consideration. It so happens that 5 girls live in this house. One man also lives in our house. Together we make it a home but the truth of the matter is that our home is ran by a tiny 4 chick army that we created ourselves. This ultimately means that we are constantly subjected to the random life lessons that all girls must at some point learn. Emberlee is crossing girl territory currently in to tweenager territory. She is 11 and easing into makeup, hair, and all the things that girls do. I think this is awesome. It is quite neat to see her transforming from a child into a young woman. However, Jeremy may have another view of things. In recent months he has been subjected to the trials of Emberlee. Most recently, hair extensions. He now understands the pain of being beautiful. Literally..... He has had his toenails painted blue. His fingernails painted in the middle of Wal-Mart. He has had tea parties. He had a blond strip in his hair for awhile when Penelope tested a new hair color on him. He may have even worn a tutu at one point or another. The point of this is that he handles it all with a smile on his face. No
matter how silly of an idea the girls come up with he really has no problem just going along with it. He endures the pain, the embarassment, and the girly-ness with a big grin on his face. The girls run to him when they are curious about something and he is always willing to answer their questions without hesitation. Most people wouldn't take the time or tolerate these things but he does and honestly I am pretty sure he enjoys it. I am quite thankful that he is this way. One reason is because through all of these things he does with them he is developing bonds and memories that will last a lifetime. The other reason is that I am subjected to less of the girl's "experiments". Those hair extensions are brutal to put in!!
