Bully

As it turns out Emerson is becoming quite comfortable in her new class. She was quiet and shy at first but now, despite being the smallest and youngest, she is becoming quite a little bully. Today her teacher told me that she chases all the other kids around and pushes them, they all run from her - even the bigger kids who I once thought were the bullies!!

Bye bye bottle

Tonight I put Emerson to bed without her bottle, she was not happy and pretty confused but she worked it out and is asleep now. Although we do not give it to her, in her bed, we just rock her while she drinks it then we put her in her bed, she usually goes right to sleep when we do this. I feel bad but realize that she cannot go to bed with a bottle forever.

Family Fun Night

We went to Chick Fil A again tonight b/c kids eat free! Emerson had a great time and ate 2 - 4 pack nuggets! I do not know where she puts all the food! Normally fast food is not on her menu but she does not eat the fries and we feel that once a week the "fast food" chicken is ok, especially since it is steamed not fried & it is chick fil a chicken!!

On the way home, Chris & I ate a free ice cream cone, we purposely ate it in the car b/c we did not want to eat this in front of her b/c she is not allowed to have any sweets. From the back seat we hear "no, no, no" she was saying "snow" b/c she could see our white ice cream. This made us feel kind of bad but teh same time very impressed that she knows what snow is plus got over it pretty quickly!! Looks like Chris and I are going to have to cut sweets out of our diet b/c we cannot hide it from smarty pants anymore! This is a well overdue sacrifice!

Last night (Monday) I found myself in the E.R. b/c of a horrible ear infection. Today I went to see the ENT and found out that it was inflammation of the ear drum, basically a "blister" on my ear drum. Chris looked at it through an otoscope and was very sympathetic after seeing it, he was also extremely comforting and sympathetic at 2 am when I was crying like a baby! I also have 2 other girlfriends that have had ear infections lately! The ENT said that mine was the result of a virus attacking my ear drum. VERY painful but much better today!!

Springing into good times

Well this weekend we had a great time, I was finally granted the opportunity to eat a cheeseburger and my parents watched in amazement as I swallowed 1/2 of it WHOLE! I have been dying to get my hands on one of those decedant lil sandwiches and it was well worth the wait!
Saturday my Great Gramma, Great Aunt & Uncle came to visit me, that was a lot of fun for me but it also takes a lot of energy they all look to me for entertainment!

Sunday I went to the church nursery, hung out with some pals, came home napped for a few hours and woke up disappointed b/c my mommy told me she was getting me a pool while I was sleeping! I did not get my pool but I did go to a really fun birthday party! I had so much fun, they had a kitty that was so fluffy and fun to chase!

Have a good day!
Love, Emerson

Easter

Although Emerson was sick Easter Sunday (she had a fever and slept the majority of the day) we still had a great weekend! Saturday we went to Tuck's 1st B-day party and spent Sunday with Gran Mollie. For Emerson, it was like Christmas all over again. She thinks the eggs are the greatest plus she got a basket filled with treats, from the Easter Bunny, and lots of goodies from Gran Mollie! She did get to waer her Easter dress to church and take a nap in in later!
While Emerson was sleeping, Chris & I went to Delmaw's to see all my siblings and their families. As usual there was plenty food and fun! We missed Emerson but enjoyed seeing everyone!

Emerson at Tuck's birthday party. At this point, she has figured the object of an Easter egg hunt! She still has no concept of the candy inside, she just likes to shake the eggs.
