Emmie,

We LOVE having you as part of our family.  WOW, God really blessed us.  You have one of the most caring hearts I have ever seen.  God gave you a very sweet soul that Daddy and I (and lots of other people) get to benefit from each and every day.  Even in the "small" of moments, you are often willing to give Daddy or I your last piece of favorite candy or (most of the times) share a toy with a friend.  You are very quick to say you are sorry when you make a mistake or even when you do something accidentally.  We are also teaching you about your tone when you are talking.  You are sometimes quick to correct yourself and try again.  We really appreciate you talking kindly on your own.

I can't keep up with all the funny things you say through the day.  Today you told me "Mommy, my (clean) pull up is on the back of the commode" and also while playing the iPad you said "I seriously did it!".  Hilarious!  When you are waiting patiently, you sometimes say "taking a (long) time".  I also asked you what movie you were going to watch and you said "I am going to give Aladdin a shot".  Where did you hear these?   I love it when you say "bacuum" (vacuum) and "inbatation" (invitation).

You are an amazing Big Sis to JJ.  You are constantly thinking of him.  Yesterday, you got a princess crown for you and I to dress up and it was also your idea to find a prince crown for JJ too.  He was so handsome all because of you!  You love to give him kisses and have him play hide and seek with us and participate in the marshmellow fight too! 

You are eager to learn.  New letters and even your Sunday School class scriptures.  I told you last week "Emmie we need to learn a new verse" and you said "Teach me, Mommy!"  You are up to 5 verses now.  precious!  You have been helping me with 3 chores around the house (unloading the utensils 1x/wk, emptying the bathroom trashcans, and also cleaning the coffee table glass).  You earn your allowance and you share it with the church and also save it to buy some toys for yourself.

We pray that your sweet spirit continues and your silliness too!
We love you so so so much!
