Happy Birthday Emma

Emma turned 3 yesterday. We had a party for her in Jasper over the weekend and they had a party for her at school yesterday. It is hard to believe that time has gone so fast.

Sunday we had Emma's birthday party at mom and dad's house with lots of family and lots of kids for Emma to play with. The kids all played together great and the adults had a good time visiting.

All the kids wanted to get into Emma's birthday cake the minute it was set on the table. I managed to get the candles in and we sang happy birthday before Emma decided to take a big chunk of the icing at least.

Opening Presents

Tuesday the YMCA had a little carnival for the kids that we took Emma to. They had different games set up and a face painting stand.


Yesterday at school they made cupcakes and had a party for Emma's birthday party. She ended up getting a Ballerina barbie doll and some Winnie the Poo stickers and stamps. When asked what she wanted for supper she told me she wanted to go to Red Lobster so that is what we did. When we got home she received her birthday presents from Drew and I which were roller skates and a new Fairy lamp for her bedroom.

Daycare update

Not a whole lot has been going on around our house lately. Emma is still doing really well not sucking on her thumb. I think I have seen her suck on it once since I had put the thumb ick stuff on.

Emma had been going to the new babysitter for a month now and she has settled in really well. The timing of finding a new sitter was kind of a pain but so far we are loving her new daycare. Let me count the ways:

1. The new daycare is within easy walking distance of our house.
2. This daycare has more kids for her to play with. Majority are girls
3. Lindsey (Provider) is teaching the kids all kinds of safety things(911, stop drop and roll, and fire drills)
4. Not a day has gone by that Emma does not come home with some project or another that they have done.
5. Lindsey is working with Emma to get her to write her name.
6. The kids get to play on computers
7. Lindsey takes the kids on field trips and has guest speakers come in.

The timing of changing daycare was not the best but Emma is learning so many new things that I definitely have no regrets with changing daycare providers. Drew actually told me that he wished she would have been there all along.
