Emma Hadassah 2 Years 10 Months

Man, oh, man. Emma is quite the character these days.  She is super witty, super sassy, and for the most part, super fun! Here are some fun things from this month :)

Emma currently loves to play with a string and pretend to wrap presents with it then open it for all of us to see.

When William is sleeping she will get on to everyone in the house for being too loud. “Mommy, you need to be quiet. Will is sleeping.”

Emma now falls asleep on her own during nap time. It is now called ‘Quiet Time’ and she goes in and falls right to sleep. The first day, I felt like I won the lottery :)

We were having a few issues with Emma not wanting to eat what was made for dinner. I am happy to say we have made progress and she more open to eating new things as long as it’s ‘Emma size.’

Emma still loves crafts and painting.

She says perfect, “perfcet!” and she still says hospital “hostible” :)

Emma has finally gotten to a point that she will let me do her hair in fun ways!

The other night at dinner Emma wanted to call me a different name. I said “I am your mommy, so you call me mommy” and she responded with “well, I’m your daughter so you call me Emma.”

If Will starts to fuss or cry Emma will ask us to get his paci or give him a bottle.

There is always a little song in her heart.

During her nap one afternoon I walked passed her room and heard her telling her stuffed animals that Jesus loves them :)

The other day Emma asked us to get her a trampoline. I have no idea how she learned what a trampoline is.

We are working on Emma learning her letters. She really has to be in the mood to want to do it. I am trying to find more ways to make it more exciting for her.

We have started to work on some math skills with her. If she ask to eat peanuts we will take a few and say “Emma, if you have one peanut and you add another peanut how many do you have?”

Emma loves to play with my empty oil bottles and pretend to put them on her stuffed animals and brother.

Emma will randomly quote movies. For example, while eating dinner the one night she said “guys, we have to go to Burgeon Town and save our friends!”

She is learning to say ‘may I please be excused’ at the table.

Emma LOVES to be tickled! So much that she will ask you to tickle her.

Emma is obsessed with her brother. She says they are best friends and thinks it is super fun to kiss his feet :)

We did our annual Easter Scavenger Hunt and Emma was awesome at it! Anytime we mention Jesus now she is quick to say "He died on the cross and came back to life!" Makes my heart smile every time.
