Emery.. we call her Emmy.
Emery wants clip-on extensions in her hair that are dyed hot pink. DH is bothered that she's almost six and still can't sort out that her full name has only one "m" and her nickname has two. He's worried it's a sign of something that will involve doctors and therapies. Emmy wears only Crocs or flip flops, even in the winter. You have to bribe her to wear snow boots, but DH doesn't know that. She likes alligators, and her favorite stuffed animal is one, but you recently discovered that she picks her nose and wipes it on the stomach of her stuffed alligator, which lives on her bed. You and DH are equally disgusted. You want to buy her a new one, but DH just wants her to do without because he is sure she'll just wipe boogers on whatever new alligator you get. You secretly worry that DH does not love Emery as much as you do. You recently moved, and the 3 year old across the street can't say Emery's name - he calls her Energy instead. His mother thinks it's adorable, but you thought long and hard about all the suggestions you got from the Expectant Moms forum on DCUM before picking Emery and want people to say it right.
Emmy loves cupcakes, and eats one each night at 9:30 as her snack. DH finally convinced you to get the mini-cupcakes, but thinks the whole sugar snack right before bedtime ritual is ridiculous. Sometimes you worry that you and DH will get divorced, and it will be because of Emmy. DH wonders what happened to that super cool chick he married and if he'll ever get her back. He's starting to think he won't, since DD is already 7, and is not sure how to make peace with what his life has become. DH goes out to the shed most nights after dinner, saying he's working on the lawnmower, and you don't understand why he doesn't just get a new one since this one causes him so much trouble.
You have a cat named Mr. Biscuits. He does not like cupcakes.
