3 1/2 Years Old!

Our caring, affectionate Emma has grown up so much lately.  Her little spirit is so precious and so many of the things she tells us just melt our hearts. She has learned how do pedal her bike, and her favorite thing to do these days is ride her bike outside on the patio.  Of course, she still loves her scooter as well and has gotten really fast on both.

Emma still loves preschool, and is so proud of her "prizes" (artwork) she brings home each day.  It is displayed proudly around the house wherever she chooses to hang it up.  She did wonderfully in her fall and winter concerts/plays that the school put on.  It's fun watching her come out of her shell and gain confidence as she becomes more and more comfortable there.  

In January Emma started up swim class again.  It's taken her a while to get comfortable in the water again after several months off, but she is finally starting to really like it and is learning a lot.  She loves to do "super girl" arms when she jumps off the side of the pool, and also likes to practice her floats.  The bathtub is her favorite place to practice at home! 

Emma is still such a loving sister to Hannah, and is so patient with her.  She reads, plays, sings and cuddles with her every day. Every night before bed she tells her how much she loves her and to have sweet dreams.  Em can't wait for her new baby sister to arrive too!  She talks about holding, feeding and helping Mommy change the new baby's diapers.  She is going to be such a big helper, and amazing role model.   

Emma says to tell everyone hi and that she misses them!
