Baby Update!

Emily will have a baby sister! I know she's very excited because she has said it is going to be a sister all along! We are thrilled and very glad that the new baby girl is healthy! We are very blessed. We are pretty sure we have a name picked out, but we are working on a middle name. We'll post as soon as we decide! I'm also looking for new baby girl bedding. I have an idea what I want, but can't find it just yet.

1st Day of Preschool

Ready to go home!

Getting a little scared walking in the building.

Emily's first day of preschool was today! She was very excited this morning when she woke up. However, when we got there she got a little teary eyed and said "Mommy come back?". She used to always say this at the gym daycare, then she got used to being dropped off there. I think it was a good thing that I did start with the gym daycare b/c it made today easier. The teacher said she did great and did not cry. Emily was in such a good mood when I picked her up. She told me it was a "good school". How sweet! I know she'll be ready to go back Thursday!

Elmo Live!

Cita and I took Emily to see Elmo Live! Saturday! We had a blast! Her friend Jordan was there as well. Emily really liked to dance to the music and loved seeing Elmo. We even took her to Chick-Fil-A after the performance. What a great weekend!

Happy Preschool Cake!

The finished cake!

"Ta-da"

Sprinkles!

My mom and Emily made a cake this weekend. We used it to celebrate her going to preschool! Now, she is really excited about going. We even sang "Happy Preschool" to her. It was so much fun and not to mention yummy! The finished cake looked like a Barbie skirt! SO cute!

New Favorite Restaurant

Our new favorite restaurant in town is now Jason's Deli (actually more mine)! She still prefers Chick-Fil-A, but because I have a taste aversion to chicken since pregnant, this is where we end up! haha We met my parents here last weekend and had a tasty ice cream for dessert (sorry, I'm a little behind in posting).

Preschool Open House

Emily and Bess playing with the dollhouse

We got to meet Emily's teacher tonight! She was very apprehensive at first. She finally warmed up to everything after she saw the Dora dollhouse! We could barely get her out of there! :) I didn't get a picture with the teacher, so hopefully on her first day Emily will cooperate. I'm afraid there will be tears though. It's a really neat classroom with different centers and they follow the preschool curriculum. I can't believe it's taken us 3 years to finally put her in a Mother's Day Out program. She "almost" went every fall, but we couldn't let our baby go. Well, it's finally time! I bet she will have a blast because she knows at least 4 kids in her class and probably a couple more in the other class when they play outside. I just might get teary eyed Tuesday. I'm planning on doing the kindergarten screenings at the school I work at, so that will keep me busy until I pick her up.

My little dancer

Emily got her tap shoes Friday! She was so excited that she did not want to take them off the entire weekend (literally). She wanted to sleep with them and even wanted to wear the leotard and shoes out to eat (no, we didn't let her). We finally hid them because I'm afraid they will be worn out before her lessons. haha She wore her ballet shoes around today.

I'll be working on my therapy schedule this week, so I'll know which day I can take her to the lessons. I'll post pictures from her lessons some time!
