Vacation

Vacation planning is on and it looks like Disneyland is the destination - a little over a year to go! Plan is for next May and the condo is already booked! Yippee!

Ag Festival Day

Thanks to a co-worker, I found out about a great event called the Ag Fest down in Salem at the state fairgrounds. Emma and I headed down and we had a blast especially her, the animal lover. The first barn we came to was full of animals, all available to pet. We got to see and pet sheep, llamas, lambs, pigs, cows, ponies, miniature donkeys, chickens, and baby goats. We even got to see sheep shearing! Emma's favorites were the baby goats and "the sheep getting hair cuts". We took a hay ride pulled by 2 draft horses to the next barn where we got to plant trees, tomatoes, sunflowers, and marigolds and got to take them all home.

This was quite an event and was worth the 45 minute drive! We will definitely be looking forward to this again next year! Here is the link the April album with pictures from today:

Another Day

Emma is very much into dresses right now. She will NOT wear anything else. On Wednesday I made her wear stretch pants because she had yoga class, but man was it a nasty fight. I promised her that when she got home, she could put on a dress. When I came and picked her up at school, she informed me that she had to use the restroom. She came out wearing nothing but her shirt and underwear! She was ready to put on that dress!

When I went to pick her up yesterday, the daycare director stopped me and told me about a little incident. Apparently Emma got paint on her skirt, so they wanted her to change into her spare clothes. In her backpack was jeans and a shirt. She threw a fit and went into the bathroom and wouldn't come out for like 40 minutes! She even missed recess! It sounds like they eventually got her in her clothes for a short period of time and they were able to throw her skirt in the washing machine and get it washed and dried for her so she could put it back on. I'll tell you what, I am not sure there are enough dresses in the world for this kid!

Swimming

Emma graduated to the next level of her swimming! Next session she can begin Water Safety 1; what a superstar! Two weeks ago she swam the width of the pool by herself. I got a video of her tonight and here it is:

I'm also catching up on my pictures and here are two albums (March's you've already seen some of the pictures, but the program puts them in there anyhow because of date):

And April:

Starting Again

So I started a blog about a year ago and I made all of 2 posts and then kind of forgot about it. Since I am not doing so good at e mailing very often with updates, I figured I would put them in here. So here we go:

Emma has developed into quite the drama queen as you can see from her video. She sings and dances whether we are at a restaurant or even the zoo! Puts on quite the show for her adoring fans!

We are also going through a phase where she will where nothing but dresses. No pants, shorts, capris, and sometimes even skirts for this little Princess! Make dressing in the morning a little hard!

Developmentally she is doing awesome. She knows her letters and numbers, can wrote her name, and can write some words if we spell them out to her. Compared to some adults I know, she should be off to college! :)
