(Emmy's sealing day, 2007)Friday night we went downtown to look for big girl furniture and bedding. It is time to say adios to the crib. I really want to transition her before a new sibling might come along - new sibling and new bed all in one week could make for one unhappy toddler. After doing some shopping, we ate dinner at Temple Square and walked around the Salt Lake Temple (where Mommy and Daddy were married). Emmy loves seeing the temples. She could barely force herself to eat her dinner because she just wanted to go see the temple. She loved looking at all the brides in their "fancy" dresses. As we walked around she asked where her sister was. That reminded me of a really sweet experience Jeremy had with her a couple of months ago that I thought I'd share.
Jeremy and Em go on daddy-daughter dates and for this particular date they got ice cream and walked around the temple near our home. Daddy told her this was where she was sealed to us and how we would be together forever, etc. All of the sudden Emmy bolted off and tried to get inside the temple. She was absolutely determined to get in there and very very upset that Jeremy wouldn't let her get in. Finally through her sobs she kept saying "I go inside. My sister inside. My sister inside. I need inside."
I don't know if it means anything - believe me, I could analyze and ponder that all day and hope that she's received some sort of mini revelation for our family but I just love the simplicity and faith of a small child. I do hope that she is right and that she does know somehow that she'll be able to one day go inside with her sister (or brother!) and be sealed again as an eternal family. I greatly look forward to that day!

That girl is just too cute! I love that story about her and thinking her sister was in the temple. I bet she does know something you don't know.
