Poor Emma, she didn’t feel well when we went to Rapid on Wednesday. She has this darn cold and of course the day we have scheduled pictures, she is having her worst day! We should have cancelled, but we thought she might be ok once she slept on the way over. We got there early and went to find her some new shoes… she was doing great. Then we went to see the Easter Bunny, she was excited and couldn’t wait to get up there. Last week she didn’t have any trouble with seeing him in the Casper mall so we figured all was good. When she got up there she took one close up look and screamed. There was no way she was going to sit with the Easter bunny, not next to him, not next to him on her mommas lap even. Finally we left figuring we would try again. So we went to Sears, dressed her in her pretty Easter dress and put her barrettes in her hair. She oooed and awed in the mirror and we went to the studio. She watched the little girls before her get their pictures taken. Then it was her turn. We went into the room and she started screaming. There was no way she was going to get her picture taken! After we tried different things we finally told them we need to reschedule when she is feeling better. Then we took her to lunch, to play in the play center and all that we hate other mothers doing that exposes our children to their colds, but we wanted to see if we could get her in a good mood. Which we did, she was happy shopping and looking around. Then we went to try the Easter Bunny again. She didn’t want out of the stroller at all. She sit in it and wanted it buckled. Finally I put the stroller next to the Easter bunny and we distracted her long enough to get a quick picture. Memories aren’t always perfect are they?
Today Emma spent the day with me while Jordan and Brianna ran errands and worked on Brianna’s car. We had a really good time. We dyed Easter Eggs. Out of 2 and half dozen we only had 3 causalities. Two of them were my doing! Emma loved the coloring of them. She wanted to dunk her hands in the dye to pull out the egg and didn’t like that I wouldn’t let her. She did well though, didn’t fight it at all. After wards I peeled one of the causalities and gave her a bite. She wasn’t impressed. She likes them better in the shell with the pretty colors. Jordan and Brianna are going to dye some tonight with her.
Emma is learning to pick up her toys. She will get them out and if you ask her, she will put them away before getting more out. I had to laugh though when she was playing with her telephone. She made it ring, answered it saying “hello” very plainly. Then she talked a little bit on it and hung up. I said “oh you didn’t say “bye”, you just hung up on them!” So she looked at the phone and then waved bye to it!
For someone who doesn’t talk or let you know she can talk, she knows how to sing along with her songs that play the alphabet song. Today she was singing along with it and you could understand most of the letters. I do believe she is holding out on us!
She was going to spend the night with me last night. She was excited until her momma walked out the door. She screamed and tried to get out the door. I caught Brianna before she got into the car and sent Emma home with her. She was fine with Jordan and Brianna leaving her several times today though. She even took a very good nap for me in her crib. Now when I say “how much does Grandma love you” if she is in the mood she will spread out her hands with me and I will say “this much” and she will just giggle then hug me. She is such a sweetheart.
