Emma had quite the week last week. We went to Spearfish and Brianna was fitted into her wedding dress, which Emma and I took the advantage of trying on the tiaras they had there. I would put one on Emma and show her in the mirror, saying “look you’re a princess!” She would just grin ear to ear. We went shopping afterwards and I didn’t even buy her a toy, poor baby. I think it bothered me more then it did her though. Grandpa made up for it when he went to Spearfish on Saturday and bought her a Little Tyke castle with a swing and a slide and a telescope and ship steering wheel. She loves the slide, the telescope and the wheel is her favorite, but she doesn’t seem to thrilled with being buckled into a swing. She never really liked her infant swing either though.
Thursday I babysat Justin’s daughters, Skylee age 5 and Emilee who will be 2 on the 22. Emma loves watching them. She didn’t know what to think of Emilee who would take her toys away and say “no baby, mine” and hit her. I finally threatened time out if she hit Emma again. Emma never got upset with Emilee until she wouldn’t let her push the buttons on her car. She was willing to share anything, but would not let her keep her away from the car. She had much to say to Emilee on that, what… I am not sure, but I could tell she was giving her the low down. One thing seeing a little person stand, run, walk and jump did was made Emma want to do all that too. I couldn’t get her to crawl for a lot of the day. I had to hold her up while she tried to stomp on the bubbles, like Emilee and Skylee did, and walk her around. Brianna said she is starting to stand on her own now and can stand for a full minute before she gets nervous and sits herself down. I bet she will be taking some steps when they get back this weekend. Lord give me the energy to keep up with a busy little runner!
Saturday was the parade for the Crook County Fair and rodeo. She really enjoyed that. Grandpa Kevin held her and she got so excited over seeing the horses she tried jumping out of his arms. Then they started throwing candy to her. Oh, if that wasn’t exciting… Daddy gave her a sucker and Grandpa was enjoying holding her and all until she started slobbering all that sucker juice down on him. He started panicking and saying “ewww… take her … take her… ewwww!” It was so funny. I don’t think he realizes he is washable yet!
Great Grandpa Lee had his 1992 Camero in the parade and afterwards he stopped by to say hi and Emma thought it was loads of fun “driving” the convertible. She would just look at me and laugh.
This is Sturgis Rally week so Brianna and Emma are staying in Hulett to help with Ham and Jam. I will miss Emma, but she will have Grandma and Grandpa Waugh and Grandma Neil to spoil her, along with a few aunts and uncles and little cousins to play with.
