Another Play Day

Jake and Mamaw came over yesterday morning to get Emery. She went home with them for awhile. They were playing so well for a few minutes, then Renee heard Emery saying "No Jake, No!" Jake was saying "Calm down Emmie, calm down!" Renee went to check what they were doing, and Jake had her curling iron,(not plugged in) trying to fix Emery's hair!!! She didn't get a picture of that, but we thought it was funny! Jake then came home with Emery to play for awhile, so they had a good day together.

Cutest 'lil Punkin's in the whole patch!

Emery gets a big hug from Jake, and had fun with Mamaw's fall decorations.

Emery's Good Day

California Cousins, Rich, Rick, Kim, and Bev

Emery had a very exciting day today! The First excitement for the morning was Jake came over to play with her for awhile, then she went home with him to play awhile longer. As she was getting her coat on to go, I gave her the "play nicely and share" talk, and also told her if she needed to use the potty to not go in her pull-up, but to please tell Renee. She said O.K. I didn't put much faith in that, because she always gets so excited when she goes over there that the first thing she usually does is poop her pants! Well, yea and good job Emmie, because she did tell Renee, and did use the pot! Progress at last!! While she was there, she got to meet Vicki, our #1 fan and faithful follower of this "Proud Grandma" page. (Vicki has seen thousands of photos of her, but never met her in person.)
The excitement continued when she came home and found that she had "mail", (a card with pictures and a birthday gift enclosed) from our California cousins! She loved it! She pranced around waving the card, and kept repeating; "I got mail!" (Thanks Bev) When her Dad came to pick her up after work, she got so excited telling him about her good day, pooping in the pot at Renee's, getting to play with Jake, and getting mail, that yep....need I finish the story? "Daddy, hand me a clean pull-up!"

Every Garden Needs A Butterfly!

Emery had fun at Constitution Square (picking flowers and running around)

She also liked climbing around on everything!

"Doctor" Emery

For Emery's birthday, Renee got her a Doctor's kit, and I made her the scrub jacket because Emery loves to play doctor so much! We have wasted more band-aids on imaginary boo-boos, and taken handful after handful of pretend medicine, so that "Dr. Emery" can make us feel better! She has given me pretend shots, and made me blow my nose when it didn't really need it! She often says she wants to be a doctor when she gets big~ I hope she will be some day, and can take care of itty bitty babies like she was! My other granddaughter Alexis wants to be a Vet, so maybe if their goals don't change a dozen times between now and then, there will be a "doctor" in the family.

Emery's 3rd Birthday Party

Emery's party was a week late, but what a wonderful day for her this weekend. The original plan was for last Saturday, to be at the park with pony rides and a cowboy/cowgirl theme. The weather did not permit. Change of plans and change of theme, so she wanted a "Snow White" party. Her favorite movies and books at the time are Snow White and Cinderella. She loves playing the princess! Her cake was adorable. Her Mom took toys that Emery already had and decorated the cake. Emery loved it! She also got to dress up as Snow White, even down to the bow in her hair that her Mom made had a picture of Snow White on it.

More Birthday Fun!

Emery really enjoyed having both of her little "boyfriends", Nate and Jake at her party. She also had fun playing with cousins Alexis and Gabriel, and friends from church.
