Emma still loves her brother to pieces. She tries to help with him - bless her heart - but Jonah doesn't always appreciate it. Just tonight I walked into the room and she was sitting behind him with her arms around him trying to help him play with a toy. I walked out of the room and came back to her laying him across her lap to check and see if he had pooped. Then, she tried to sit on him. Oh, it was interesting.
Thankfully Emma's babies enjoy her "care" more than her brother. She plays with her babies all day long. She bathes them, dresses them, disciplines them, feeds them, plays with them, takes them shopping and to the zoo, and so much more. Today I heard her singing "Better is One Day in Your Courts" while bouncing her baby and shushing her to sleep. It really melts my heart and is so much fun to watch her nurturing spirit.
Emma's new obsession is climbing into bed with Jonah and "snuggling" while watching the mobile or talking his ear off. Jonah, of course, loves it too.
Emma worked for a month to earn stickers on a chart if she slept through the night without crying. When she filled up the chart, she got a big girl bed. She was SO excited about it and really got into the sticker chart. The last three days she got to see parts of the bed. The first day was her sheets which have tea pots and tea cups on them. The next day was the quilt. The final day was the actual bed. Emma is so full of joyful excitement and it makes it so much fun to do things for her. She was so excited about each part of the bed. When she saw her quilt she asked Mike to put it out on the floor. When she was done running around the room and rolling all over it, she got the sham and laid it down, crawled under the quilt, put her head down, and pretended to be asleep. So much fun!
Her Big Girl Bed all put together
The first morning she got up and made the bed all by herself. I LOVE IT!!!
Using her paints and paintbrush to create a masterpiece.
Emma decided to also paint herself. She had paint up to her armpits and on her face. It was a huge mess but also very cute. She had a great time.
