Emily Grace is 3....

How did this happen? Where did my baby go? What happened to my little girl? She's 3 and acting every day of it. No, 3 going on 13 or 3 going on 30. She's 3! God help me. I keep getting in trouble or more accurately she keeps getting in trouble because she has great language. She told me recently to take the highway home because it was a short cut and short cuts are faster. And she makes great connections such as, short cuts get us there faster; so I give her too much credit for being more mature that she really is for 3 years old. So when she does things like putting a full glass of milk on the bed while trying to climb up it's hard to remember she's only 3. Or when she wants to take every baby doll and stuffed bear with us when we go out she's only three. Actually, in all of these examples she was only 2. 2 going on 3. The way it should be for all children.

Love Mom and Dad

happy birthday

Well, she made it to two. Some days she seemed hell bent on not reaching that milestone. The party was a big hit. Only grandma and grandpa could get away with one of those "singing" birthday cards featuring their voices..... Where's the battery in this thing......

Love,
Dad

7 days and counting.....

I can't believe that Emily Grace is going to be 2 years old next week, on July 10th. It's already become problematic to spell things in front of her because she can figure out what your trying to hide by using the context in which you're spelling to figure it out. When I got home from Publix the other day I was hiding the ice cream as I was putting it in the freezer. I told mom that I had purchased the thing that we have after dinner. Emily Grace promptly announced "Ice Cream!" There was a time that Emily like ice but not ice cream. Oh, how I long for those days........

Love,
Dad
