She is as much of a girl as we could have imagined! We brought her home from church yesterday and took off her dress in the living room. I was too tired to get up and get her another outfit so we let her run around without clothes on for a while. We thought she would enjoy it, but after a little while Emma came up to us holding her dress and pointing to herself. After a sweet minute of watching her try to tell us that she wanted the dress on, Mike put it on her. Emma stood completely still until the dress was buttoned and everything (any of you who have dressed her know what a feat that is). She proceeded to walk around the house swishing the fabric of the dress and pointing to it. It was super sweet. Of course we wondered if it was just by chance that this all happened, so like any good parent we set her up again! We took off the dress and almost immediately the whole thing happened again, except this time we let her try to put it on herself. She LOVES to wear dresses, play with dolls, carry around her shoes, brush her hair, play with purses and put on lotion. Just wait until she tastes chocolate!!!
Emma has been carrying around my "purse" for the past few days and filling it with toys. She puts it over her shoulder and neck like Mike does with his work bag and walks around. (Don't worry, I watch her when the strap is around her neck.)
Here she is trying to put the dress on...the best part is how she is grabbing a handful of her thighs!
Trying to put it on by herself...
"I DID IT!"
She walked all over swishing her dress and playing with the fabric. It was priceless.
"Look at my dress!"
