She's Coming Out of Her Shell....

If you know Emma, she has always been pretty shy until you have spent time with her. She usually does not talk to people that she does not know even if she has seen them before. Well, now that she goes to school twice a week, which she loves, it has really helped her gain confidence in herself. Tonight we went to dinner to a restaurant that we do not go to often. At the end of our meal, the waitress had asked if we wanted dessert to let her know and then continued to fill our glasses. Steven and Emma looked at each other and he said " we will get ice cream from Tastee Freeze". Well, I guess that is not what Emma wanted because she turned to the waitress and proceeded to say " Excuse me, Ma'am, I would like a box of pie please"....so the waitress asked what kind of pie and she said " Well, what kind do you have?" so in the end she got a piece of Apple Pie. However, the laughs did not stop there. She asked Nana, her grandma, for a quarter for the machines on the way out, but the machine took her quarter without giving her the ring, so she ran up to the waitress and said, " do you have a quarter, the machine took mine!" She is really speaking up for herself-a good quality to have! Steven and I just looked at each other and smiled. We are so proud of her. She is such a sweet little girl, with such good manners, yet loves to have fun and be silly.
