Grandma's thoughts and news on Emma

December 16, 2007










I have slacked off on writing about my little favorite subject. She still is being as cute and sweet and loveable as can be. I don’t know if anything is more enjoyable then spending the day spoiling her whether it is shopping or just spending the day home playing.



Last Wednesday Brianna, Emma and I went to finish up Christmas shopping at the mall. Each time we went by Santa, she would look and really keep track of where he was. She was such a good girl, never crying, throwing fits or even asking for anything at all. Then when we dropped off the stroller we had to walk by Santa again. She took my hand and led me right up to him. He held out his hands for her to sit on his lap and she looked at him then turned and held her hands out to me. I guess she just wanted a good look at him, but no touch. I don’t think he was thrilled when he saw her shirt though. It said “Who needs Santa when you have Grandma!”
I liked it, but he didn’t even laugh. We didn’t get home until 10:30 that night so I kept her over night. She got a second wind when we got inside the house, chasing the dog and playing with her toys. Finally around midnight she settled down enough for me to rock her to sleep and put her in her bed. Then around 4:30 am she woke up screaming. I had to move her crib next to the bed to block that side then put her in bed with me for her to settle back down. She laid her head on my stomach and went to sleep making sure I wasn’t going to put her in her bed again. During the night she started making her way up towards the pillow and cuddled right up next to me. It reminded me of when I was a little girl cuddling up with my grandma when I spent the night over there. I was a grandma’s girl also. Emma enjoys spending the night but she is always happy to see her momma the next day. She didn’t want Brianna to be out of her site much at all on Thursday.



Emma helped decorate my Christmas tree. She put the candy canes around it. We have a line of candy canes along the bottom, just in her reach. We have slowly been moving them up higher though. She has Grandma’s sweet tooth for sure. I wonder if she will get into unwrapping the presents when she sees them under the tree. I just put them under it today so she hasn’t been over yet to see them.



She also started singing Little Drummer Boy with me. It is so cute. I sing the verse and sing the pur-um-pa-pum and she will sing “pum pum” afterwards. She has such a sweet voice when she sings.



I got a phone call from Jordan tonight. He said “We have something to tell you” I could hear Brianna in the back ground yelling “NO, I am NOT pregnant!” How did she know what went through my mind when he said that?! Anyway, our little baby… well toddler, went pooh-pooh in the big toilet. She didn’t want to go on her little potty chair, kept looking at the big one. They had to call so grandma can tell her how proud I am of her and how big she is. They said she walked around the house like she was hot stuff after that. She is hot stuff! One of my friends asked if we fished it out and bronzed it. I told him I didn’t think of doing that, but wonder if they flushed yet… maybe we should! Ok, Ok, even I won’t go that far… well….
