Oh how cute is Emmalyne. She just gets more and more cute each day. Last night she spent the night with me. We had a good time playing, watching Eight Below and she went to sleep for me so good. She did wake up at 2am this morning so I just put her in the bed in there and slept the rest of the night with her. Well, she slept, I kept checking to make sure she wasn’t under a pillow, that I wasn’t laying on her little leg and trying not to fall off the bed while she crowded closer and closer to me.



Yesterday Emma and Grandpa Kevin planted some flowers in the little planter that Grandpa built for her. She thought that was pretty fun and loves watering them. I bought a little pinwheel to stick in the planter for decoration but Emma wasn’t about to leave it in there. She enjoyed blowing on it trying to make it spin. Kevin finally showed her to run up and down the driveway to make it spin… what fun is that??



Jordan and Brianna bought Emma a cookies and cream ice cream cone. She thought it was pretty yummy, what she did get in her mouth anyway. She offered a lick to Great Grandma DeMaris but Grandma DeMaris didn’t want to give her, her cold, or that was her excuse. I think it was more because that ice cream cone was a big mess (and who knows if it was shared with Tara before we got there). I bought Emma a little basketball hoop so she can play basketball since she liked it so much when Uncle Jarrod and Adam played it one night.



I helped Emma make the planters for Mother’s day. She loved the “dot, dot, dot” putting the finger prints on for the bees and lady bugs. She had so much fun, I picked up some finger paints and a big pad of paper for her. She enjoyed finger painting before going home today. She did very well, most of the paint was on the paper, just a little on the table, the cell phone, clothes, chair, her little riding car and other victims of painted little fingers and hands. I still say she did really well, Tara escaped without having a colorful experience.



Emma is growing so big so fast. I look at her and it is easy to forget that she isn’t even two yet. She is as smart as can be, with a mind of her own. She definitely beats to the tune of her own drum. She is smart, silly, sweet, so loveable, a little naughty, a bit messy, perfect in every sense!
