While I did, Em stayed in her room with the door closed for a long time.  I didn&#8217;t know what she was up to.  Finally, someone came out, dressed as you see here.

Soap and water didn&#8217;t quite remove the greasepaint, although they did smear it around a lot.  I&#8217;m going to have her scrub a bit more before we go out, as I can&#8217;t have my daughter running around in what now looks like blackface.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re lining up a few summer camps, a trip to the beach, and some math tutoring.  This is also the year that I plan to teach Em to knit. She wants to know how, but not necessarily to sit down and learn how.  She likes to fiddle with her hands so I think it could be a good thing to learn.  Em will also be trying out piano lessons.  She&#8217;s naturally musical &#8211; not surprising, since it runs in both sides of her family &#8211; so I think she has the potential to do well.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Andy Erickson, Emily, and I are planning on having a great summer.
