Playing Together

Emma adores her brother and has done remarkably well sharing with him. She does get very frustrated when he tries to take her babies, but after she gets frustrated she comes back and gives whatever toy he wanted to him. (I am enjoying this as long as it lasts!) They play together so well and enjoy doing so!

Sue-Sue

This past weekend Sue-Sue came to visit on her way to St. Louis. We had such a wonderful time playing, going for walks, and of course, EATING! The weekend went WAY too fast but we enjoyed our cupcakes and walks. Here are just a few pictures of our time together.

Well, we are short on space in our apartment and with Jonah crying all night, we were not sure what to do with Emma. While we were discussing our options, Emma asked if she could sleep in the coat closet. So, we let her. She was so excited about it and asks every night if she can do it again. It was pretty funny, but a great solution!

Babies

Words just cannot express how much Emma loves to play with babies. Emma really does play with them all day long and she does not do much of anything that does not involve a baby right next to her or on her lap. It brings us many laughs and is quite eye-opening to see how she deals with them as she mimics us.

A few weeks ago I had to purchase some new toys for the church nursery. We have almost all girls in the nursery and there has been some friendly arguing over the babies. So, I took Emma to go pick out some new babies. We brought them home and of course Emma wanted to play with them. We let her have them until the next morning when she had to take them to church. Before bed that night she went and found a spot for each one to sleep and feed each one, kissed each one, and tucked each one in. When I saw the babies after she went to bed, I was touched by her tenderness and nurturing spirit. Enjoy - I hope this makes you smile as it did me.
