Emma’s New Mustang! Stye on her Eye! Avery has a TV in her room-Can I have one in my room?
Emma received her own car for her 5th Birthday! Her aunts Lina and Mary bought her a new Barbie Mustang Powerwheels car! She really likes it and is becoming quite the driver! I like it too because it keeps her busy for a while although I am always on the watch making sure no cars are coming on the streets near our cul de sac as she zooms in a big circle around our driveway and part of the street. I still have to drill into her head the importance of always looking both ways before entering the street since we still have a bunch of cars coming down our small dead end street and making …Read more […..]
Scolded By Another Mom
Well, the goofy dilemmas that I have heard about regarding Mom’s of other kids has begun! My friends’ wives have told me stories about things like this and now I have been a part of it! LOL Emma had a birthday party recently exclusively for her friends–her family party is seperate. When we were planning the party we wondered if we should invite the whole class or not. We decided to let Emma decide. Emma picked out the friends–all girls–who she wanted to come to the party. She left out a couple girls and we asked her if she was sure about it since she often played with one of them. She did, …Read more […..]
First Experience With Bullying?
I can remember the kids who used to bully me around like it was yesterday. Of course, after we all grew up(the bullies all seemed to stop growing around 8th grade, ha!) and I became a police officer the tables turned for good. Anyway, today, like most days, Emma kept asking when we were going to leave for school–did this for 2 hours. When we finally went, she was very excited. As usual she washed her hands and kissed me goodbye and then ran over to the board where all the kids write their names. Emma was there with one of the boys and she began excitedly writing her name when 3 other girls, Hannah, …Read more […..]
Emma with Flu for a week, getting so good at Wii, Little, not Yittle, Wisconsin not consin
Emma was home sick all week and it was rough. It is times like these that I can really understand how much I appreciate the free time, little as it is, that I have when she is in preschool. She kept me busy and handled it really well. She watched TV, played with her dolls &Â played her Wii. She is really getting very good at the Wii and I am impressed! Emma recently changed the way she says a couple words. Gone are the cute ways that she said them…She no longer says Yiddle but says little and she no longer calls Wisconsin Consin. So cute to see her growing up! …Read more […..]
Christmas Singing! Christmas Play, Emma as “Mary”,First Trip to Dentist, Addicted to Wii
Emma’s preschool class had their Christmas presentation for us parents and did they do a great job! Besides the Christmas show the class had a Christmas play for the class parents. Emma had the honor of being Mary. How cute!! This school does such a good job! This was a short show for us parents in the daytime. As the others, it was really cool! Emma had her first trip to the dentist which resulted in her watching Mom getting her teeth cleaned and a short look into Emma’s mouth. It was really to get her used to the atmosphere so that in the future she wouldn’t be …Read more […..]
School Field Trips, Best Friend Avery, Reading Books to Herself
Emma experienced her preschool field trip and had fun! As you can see she was excited to go on the school bus as they were getting ready to leave. Of course, I had a bit of apprehension with her being out of my control and in other peoples’. This is something I will constantly struggle with as most parents probably do. Emma has gotten close to a classmate who has been a classmate for 2 years. She loves to play with Avery and they seem to be best friends. When I pick Emma up, however, they goof off a bit and I have to remind Emma to behave. Little stinker… Emma has gotten into a good …Read more […..]
Mrs Kushmann called to compliment Emm’s singing, Too cold for the boys
A funny thing happened recently. Emma’s preschool teacher called the house because she had to tell me how much she enjoys Emma’s singing. The kids are practicing a Christmas show and Emmas voice is so noticeable and she sings with lots of force! The way that she was describing this and laughing was too cool! She told me that she had to tell us how much she appreciates Emma’s singing! Awww!! The weather has turned and even though Emma and I go outside a lot still the boys down the street are no longer coming out to play…:( Emma told me that “It is too cold for the boys.” Well, not too cold …Read more […..]
Happy Halloween! Headstrong Little Stinker…
Halloween 2010 Halloween is always an awesome time here at our household and this year was great! Emma was Cinderella this year and had her preschool party/costume parade which was very cute. And, of course, we had our annual Halloween party. This year, Emma understands better what the party is all about and she really enjoyed the awesome decorations and lights that we put up in the garage. She loved seeing her cousins all dressed up and she enjoyed taking pictures with our neighbor Carol who was dressed as a witch! Emma still loves(and hates) witches! In fact, Auntie Kathy left her …Read more […..]
1st Day of School! Coloring Like Crazy! Company Day At Great America!
What a difference a year makes! Emma couldn’t wait to go back to school! She got up and asked if she was going to school but I had to tell her that she will be going in the afternoons this year. I had none of the nervousness that I felt last year when she had her 1st day of school. None of the uneasiness that I felt as I drove her there and virtually none( maybe just a tad) of the guilt as I left her there….And, she was excited to be going back to school since she has the same teacher and is familiar with it. A plus this year is that she is in the afternoon class which means that we …Read more […..]
Mrs Koshmann visits! “Daddy, You Walk Like This” “I’m Telling You” Snuggler in The Morning
Well, it is that time of year! Summer is ending and preschool is about to start! Just like last year Mrs. Koschmann came to the house to visit and meet with Emma. Unlike last year Emma knows her very well and talked to her from the start! 🙂 It is also different than last year because we know what to expect and feel extremely confident and secure in knowing that Emma will have her for her teacher this year. I remember the nervous trepidation I felt last year and am grateful that this year will be easy! One of Emma’s new sayings is one that makes fun of her Daddy. Out of the blue Emma said to …Read more […..]
