For at least 6 months Emma has wanted a ukulele. It started when I showed her a video on Youtube of a man and his three year old daughter signing "Tonight You Belong To Me" while he played the ukulele. It was so cute, and I told the girls I wanted them to sing it as a duet for me. Emma said she would learn it if I'd get her a ukulele, and she started putting them in my Ebay shopping cart every time she got on my site. She constantly reminded me that she wanted one, and she told me about a dream she had about how sad she was when she didn't get one. I've never seen her want something so much, so I bought her a ukulele for her birthday.
I couldn't help playing a trick on her, though. Inside of the ukulele-shaped present, she opened this:
A dollar store toy ukulele! She was pretty surprised and didn't seem too thrilled!
When she opened the real thing, though, she loved it. She's been teaching herself to play all week.
Emma is such a fun person, and we love having her in our family! Happy Birthday, Kiddo!
