A little bit about Emma

Emma is my biggest sweetheart. She is incredibly smart, sweet and sassy.

The other day Emma, Fox and I went to Chuck E. Cheese's with a few friends. I made Emma sit down and told her before she could go play she had to eat a piece of pizza. In the middle of her eating I stood up and left the table for a while to go get a drink. When I came back Emma was sweetly eating her pizza, and my friend was choking back laughs. I asked what was going on and she said, "As soon as you left Emma stood up and ran around and played, but then hurried back to her seat before you got back." ...

I'm pretty sure she does things like that ALL the time! But I don't see them so how can I discipline it? She's sneaky I tell ya!!

Today Emma was watching Curious George while I was on the computer. She came to me and asked for an apple and I told her I would get her one in just a minute, and she couldn't get one by herself because they need to be cut up (You'll see why in a minute). She pouted for a minute and then headed back downstairs. A few minutes later I went down to get her an apple and saw her licking her hands. I looked at her curiously and she replied "I accidentally got into this" and pointed at the brown sugar. I'm sure it was an accident, that brown sugar is always looking for someone to get into it ;)

Yesterday Emma went downstairs to help me get soy sauce for our dinner. I let her carry our giant industrial bottle of soy sauce (we are obsessed with soy sauce okay?) back up stairs and while walking she looked at the label and said, "This says pa-an-cakes." I busted up and told her that she wouldn't like it very much on pancakes. Of course maybe she would she drinks the stuff straight if I don't watch her. ecth!

She learns so different from how Liam learns. I have been working with her on her shapes for a couple of weeks now and she almost has them down. I will point at a shape and she'll just spout out any name that comes to mind. I'll point at a circle (which she knows) and she'll reply "triangle, square, rectangle..." until she gets it or shrugs her shoulders. Finally I tell her to really look at it and she'll get it. But she's picking up on letters faster then Liam did...weird hu?

I know there are more stories and frases that she has said that I think, 'I need to remember to write those down...' Lot of good thats done me. :)

She is extremely good at helping me. Loves her siblings and still gets sad when ever Liam leaves for school. She has her Daddy wrapped around her finger, even though he doesn't realize it. She is full of life, and energy, and mischief. She makes me happy. :)

After Emma accidentally got into the brown sugar, I got her one of these

It doesn't look very impressive until...

You see that it's twice the size of my kids head ;). (After we bought them I kept wanting to find some one with a normal apple and do the Crocodile Dundee thing-"that's not a apple," hand them my apple, "Now that's an apple." All done in an Australian accent.)

They are awesome apples!! We turned one into a giant, three-times-as-big-as-your-head carmel apple, YUM!! (I may or may not have just drooled all over myself after thinking about it). It was delicious!!

(P.S. yes, I believe we should use this shot of Emma in as her wedding shot...just done with an apple and not flowers)
