Emma is 3 1/2 today! First, "how did that happen?" and second, "how did that happen?" At 3 1/2, Emma is pretty convinced that she can do everything "by herself" and while there are a lot of things that she can do by herself, I am thankful that she still needs Mom and Dad from time to time. She is also is full and I mean, full of attitude, which often lands her in a bit of trouble. Overall though, Emma has a wonderfully big heart filled with love for her family, friends and teachers; is filled with loads of enthusiasm for every new adventure; and has the ability to use so many big words appropriately. We are still continually amazed by our big girl who also frequently uses the word "like" as every other word in a sentence. Two quick stories before I give you an interview with Emma at 3 1/2 years old.
- I am sure Brad could tell this one better as I am just retelling his story but I'll give it my best effort. One night (I think while I was in Korea) after Josh was in bed, Brad and Emma were talking about letters and came to the letter "J." Brad asked her what started with "J" and so it went. Somewhere along the way they came up with "Josh" and "Jesus" starting with "J." Emma then said something to the effect that "Josh starts with J and I call him J-Bubs and Jesus starts with J so I'll call him J-Bubs as well." Do you think Jesus has ever before been referred to as J-Bubs?
- Last weekend we were up at Uncle Dale and Aunt Michelle's house to celebrate Thomas's high school graduation (post to come). During the meal at noon on Sunday, cousin Madison was eating broccoli so Emma decided she should have some too. Mind you, she has tried a little before and immediately spit it out. Well, last weekend, she ate it up and asked for more. At some point later in the meal, she told me "I'm big now so I've decided that I like broccoli." Later that day, she also told me that she had decided to like the sound of rainfall.
