I thought Emma deserved an update of her own! Oh my, how she is growing and changing...just in the last few weeks alone! She is an incredibly spirited kid! Here is the latest on her:
-She loves to laugh and make others laugh!
-She tells me several times a day that she wants to tickle her daddy when he gets home from work, and then tells him that when he walks in the door! But she never wants to tickle me (I kinda feel left out!)
-She LOVES to dance and sing. We make up lots of songs around here!
-She walks on her tiptoes alot, she even bends in her toes (like a ballerina), we have know idea how this does not hurt!!!
-She loves being a big sister and having Bree more interactive now. I have caught her on several occasions pulling Bree around by her feet to move her to where she wants her to play at...even into the princess castle (yes, 2 1/2 months later that is still taking up half my dining room...but we have had lots of fun in it, I even joked with Shane that if we ever move we could call it a 4th bedroom!)
-Emma took swim lessons this past week and is doing awesome at floating on her back, swimming and kicking on her tummy, and blowing bubbles!
-The biggest change is she is potty training!!! I have been holding off until she said she was ready (per many other mothers advice) and last week she asked to go potty on her potty pot. We didn't focus on it too hard, but the beginning of this week I set a schedule, had her pick out some pull-ups and so far she is doing amazing! I was so surprised at what she accomplished in just 2 days. At first it took her 20-30 minutes of sitting to go potty, and now most of the time she can go as soon as she sits down. She even told me she had to go potty while we were at wal-mart and we were able to get the bathroom in time! She even went twice at church! Shane and I are so, so, so proud of her! She gets 'pennies for her potty' and that has been a great reward so far. Plus, we told her we would take her to the water park once she is in underwear full-time, so I foresee a trip there in the near future!
-She is finally eating more (she has always eaten like a bird!) She has come to love hamgurbers (as she calls them), steak, and pasta. She loves fruit and will eat about any kind, and is also a pretty big fan on her veggies, she LOVES corn on the cob! She is starting to not care for milk much, but still likes her juice and ice water. She has been enjoying a little peach tea and lemonade this summer. She still has yet to try pop, and we don't plan to let her have that treat until she is older.
-She talks and talks and TALKS all the time!
-She loves princesses and pink and is all girl!
-She changes her name everyday and her favorites to be called are Cinderella, Sister Bear (from Berenstain Bear books) Ariel, and Rapunzel. She usually names Bree Honey Bear or Snow White.
-She has been testing her boundaries a lot lately and is strong-willed.
Emma is a true joy and we love her immensely! What a blessing she is! She constantly entertains us and makes us laugh!
