Emily Turns 3!!


My little baby girl is a talking, jumping, very active little girl who loves Mickey and Minnie Mouse, loves the Disney Princesses (although she has never watched one of their movies) and LOVES to talk. She is a great big sister, already bossing Jacob around and being a great little helper. She can count to 20, backwards from 7 and knows all of her letters and their sounds (can you tell her mommy is a teacher?). She can spell her name and Jacob's (thanks to the bathroom towels that hang in our bathroom that have their names on them. For her birthday we got her a big girl bike (so she could keep up with all of the girls on the street) and it brought tears to my eyes as I took her picture because in that moment I saw what a big girl she has already become! We went to Disneyland with her best friend Rebekah for a special lunch with the Princess' and then on her birthday she had a small playdate with a few friends from church and the neighborhood. At the play date Emily came down with a fever, didn't even want to eat her cupcake, and went up stairs to take a nap while the party was still going. It was very sad! Only Emily however would choose to go to bed rather than eat a cupcake with her friends! I can't believe she is already three and what a blessing and gift she is to our family each day!
