Build a Monkey

We decided to take Emma to Build a Bear over the weekend as something different to do and Vince and Linda were up so it was even more special for her.

Emma loves her Curious George books and movies so when we found her a monkey at Build a Bear that was perfect. She was having trouble deciding what she wanted so we steered her towards the monkey and I do not think she has any regrets. Unfortunately I forgot my camera at home so I do not have any pictures of her building George but I did take some pictures of her with him when we got home. Along with George she also ended up with Hundley which is the lobby dog in the movies.

She has been sleeping with George every night this week and has tried to take him with her to school every day.

That did not take long

As I posted on Tuesday I have been letting Emma wear shorts this week since it has been so warm. When I took her to daycare/preschool on Tuesday I jokes with Lindsey that we would have to see how long it took for her to fall and scrap up her knees. I'm not saying that Emma is clumsy just that she is a tomboy and likes to run and roughhouse with the boys.

Well it did not take long. Last night on the way home from Lindsey's Emma tripped and skinned up her right knee pretty bad. Then when we were playing outside later last night she fell again and scrapped up the left knee. Thankfully we had put some gauze wrapping on her right knee when we went out or I'm sure it would have gotten scrapped up even worse when she fell the second time.

It's just not right

I love that the weather has been so nice lately and I'm really hoping that it stays this way but it just does not feel right. It is the middle of March and already in the 70s. Emma is wearing shorts today which just does not seam right.



I guess I'm going to have to get shopping and get her some more summer cloths.

Hope everybody else is enjoying the nice weather.

Field Trip and Dentist

I just have not been in the mood to do a lot of posting here lately but I figured that it would be a good idea to go ahead and do at least a little before there is a ton of catching up to do.

February 13th Emma had her 3 year checkup. She weighed in at 30.6lbs and they measured her to be 37 7/8 in tall. Dr. said that she is perfectly health and can increase her time between checkups to a year now.

February 18th and 19th Mom and Dad came up to visit and brought Emma's doll house up with them because we were not able to bring it back when we were home for her birthday party. I do not think that Emma likes it at all though. The doll house and barbies are pretty much the only toys she has been playing with since then.


February 20th was a free day at the Children's Museum so Emma's preschool went on a field trip and I helped chaperon. There were 11 kids with 7 under 5 years old and only 3 adults so it was a long day but overall the kids behaved really well and they all had a blast. They all fell asleep on the way home from the museum.

Having a snack before heading back to Miss Lindsey's House


February 24th Emma had her first dentist appointment. Drew's appt was at 8a.m. with Emma's at 8:40 so I dropped her off at the dentist office once Drew was done and then I headed to work. Emma did a great job and let them clean her teeth without any problems.




We will be heading to Jasper yet today to do some visiting. Tomorrow we are planing on going and seeing Tony in Evansville and my cousin Gwen is having a 3rd birthday party for her daughter Avery on Sunday. Normally Avery's party falls on a weekend Drew has to work but this year it works out that we are able to go.
