From A to Zig: December 2012

My heart is bursting at the seams here people. I am so incredibly proud to be Emily's mommy. There are days that she tests my patience and there are days that she makes me laugh till I cry. Who ever said it was the terrible 2s lied their faces off. 3 is so much harder. Emmy wears her heart on her sleeve and she is very emotional. She also is not used to not being the number one priority and we are working very hard on teaching her the importance of patience and taking turns.Yet she is funny, and silly and super duper sweet. She has the greatest imagination and the best memory on earth. She is an amazing big sister and lights up like a Christmas tree when she gets a smile out of Sophia. She sings, she dances, she loves with all her heart. She gives the best hugs and tells us the sweetest secrets. She can throw an epic tantrum, but is a big helper. The last 3 years have been so much fun. I love this child. I love her more than anything in the world.

So I came across this list of questions on pinterest and I absolutely loved the idea. Every year on Emily's birthday, and on Sophia's once she turns 3, I am going to ask them the following questions. It will be so much fun to lack back and see how their preferences have changed over the year. Emily was in the silliest mood the night we asked her these. Someone knocked over her giggle box because she thought every question was hysterical and it was tough to get through the list, but here it is!

So silly. That Emmy. She also had an appointment for a checkup with doctor. She is perfect. As if we didn't already know that. :) She weighs 28.6 lbs and is 35 1/2 inches.

For her birthday we went to Hoot's, which is a jump house and Emily told me "Mommy, this was the best birthday party ever!" We had a great time running and jumping and sliding all morning. We were glad that so many of her friends and all her Aunts and Uncles were able to be in town too!
