Remembering...

We have always insisted that necklaces should never be worn to bed. Emma's necklace was overlooked once, when she was just turning 4 years old. She went to bed, forgetting to take off her necklace. When she woke up the next morning, she was playing with her siblings and cousins at "The Wilderness Cabin" in the WI Dells. We were there celebrating a big Schulz cousin birthday weekend. When she realized that she slept with her necklace on, her eyes got wide with enthusiasm and surprise. She ran to me and said:

Mommy, I sleeped with my necklace on and I didn't choke, and I didn't even die!

I can still hear her voice in my head, exactly the way she said it. It was so sweet.
