Emme and the Birdie

This was just a classic Emme moment. She had been playing dress up all day and Prue was outside terrorizing the birds. We went outside to check on her and noticed a little Blue Jay on the ground. It was scared, but not hurt. I think it saw Prue and froze because it could fly. Emme was fascinated! She loved the birdie and talked about it for days afterwards.

She loves being all dressed up and putting on a show, but I think the bird was even more fun for her, if that is possible!

Penguins and Parties

Emme was thrilled to go to the Dallas Aquarium last Thursday. Can you tell? She was so excited to see the penguins that I could barely get her to leave. We went back to them four times!

It was a lot of fun to go with Belinda, Libbie and their friends from Amarillo. I did drop my camera looking at the Sloth so these pictures are from my phone and Belinda's camera.

Emme is all about the penguins and has loved them for a few months now. She thought seeing them was the greatest, but did not understand why they would not follow her commands! She saw one jump from one rock to another and after that all she wanted to do was see them jump so she kept yelling "Jump! Jump!" Needless to say, they ignored her, but she still loved them.

I think this has inspired a penguin theme for her birthday. I am overwhelmed at the thought of it. I plan to keep it simple and just have fun. Still a lot to do alone though. It is hard to believe that she will be 3!! Wow, how time flies! I miss her being tiny, but she is still babyish enough for me to feel like I have a baby, not a big girl! She is so amazing.

This was Emme's face when I told her to say good-bye to the penguins!
