Where have the last two years gone? I cannot believe Emma is already two!! Emma - there are so many things we love and treasure about you. From the snuggles and pinching of the neck loves to your funny and silly sense of humor....you make us laugh all the time. We call you our "monkey-do" because you love to follow your big sister around and repeat everything she says and does. We are always impressed with your strong and incredible use of vocabulary and memorization....you love to memorize Nursery Rhymes and read books. You love to sing and dance and have no fear when it comes to trying new things or taking risks (of course we worry about this too since you have already had one cast before age two!). You have such a picky appetite but love your cheeses, yogurts, fruit and PP&J....and we laugh that the only meat you seem to eat are McDonald's Chicken Nuggets and hot dogs....GREAT! Your hold your own with your little temper and demanding ways but your sweet sense of sharing and easy going nature even it out. Your bright eyes and funny faces make each day an adventure and we hope you know how much we love you. You are a blessing and joy in the family and pray you have another healthy and happy year ahead!!!
Since today Papa was still working his 12 hour shift work and mama is still recovering....we decided to wait until Sunday to really celebrate your special day. Although you were very excited to get phone calls and messages with loved ones singing you Happy Birthday...she was all smiles on the phone listening to them. Angelica gave you lots of birthday kisses (although she always wanted to talk about her next birthday when she turns four) and Papa brought you home a balloon and one of your favorite candy...Fruit Mentos....and Mama actually let you eat all of them...although you were so generous and shared with your sister (don't know if I would have done that at age two!). Since Marmee leaves for NYC tomorrow she brought you over some gifts. You love the new tea set (and Angelica is already referring to it as OUR tea set), love the puzzle blocks (although you enjoy building towers still with them instead of the puzzles) and have made us read the new books to you several times already. So thank you Marmee and Poppy, we will miss celebrating with you this year. I had to share the video clip of Emma singing Happy Birthday....too cute...she would sing it to herself all day...along with ask me all day where her Green Bear cake is? Kind of confused as to why she didn't get her cake if it is her birthday, so hopefully she can wait until Sunday!!! Happy Birthday Emma, we love you!
