Everything Emma: Life's a Bow-tique

Life's a Bow-tique

Rarely will you ever see this sweet little girl without a flashy, frilly hair bow atop her head. Before having Emma I though it looked ridiculous when I saw babies wearing hear bows on the three strands of hair they had on their heads. Naturally, when I discovered I was having a little girl the first thing I went out and bought was a package of headbands with giant bows on the front. I have since changed my mind in regards to bows on baby girls and am now completely in LOVE with them! Thanks to my all time favorite website to shop off of, ETSY, Emma's "Bow-tique" is growing rapidly. Below are the bows I bought her just last week. I am absolutely in love with the cammo and yellow bows and plan on dressing her in them when her Daddy comes home from Afghanistan this spring. I mean really... Does it get any cuter than this?!?!?!

Below is a photo of what I refer to as "Emma's Bow-tique." These are her trademark accessories and do not even come close to showing the amount of bows this girl actually owns. Before Emma was born I stocked up on TONS of headbands with bows but since she has such a nice head of hair and is able to wear real bows, we never use them. Such a shame because she has an entire drawer full of absolutely adorable headbands. Since we now have about 50 bows and our collection is always growing, I suppose it is time that I make Emma a bow holder! Better make it a big one if we want it to last!

What Emma is Doing

All of her colors.

All of her letters.

All basic shapes and even a handful of more advanced one.

Can name all of her body parts.

Knows the days of the week and can even tell you which activities she has on which days.

She has been doing chores and has been responsible for cleaning her playroom and bedroom for about a year. In recent months she has gotten to a point where she will often begin her cleaning for the day without me having to ask or monitor her while she does it.

Can re-tell many of the stories from the Bible and can tell you all about Jesus.

Knows how to spell her name.

Learning how to write her letters- we haven't really started working on writing number yet.

Learning some basic addition.

Learning about money and the value of different coins. This ties in well with teaching her addition because she is learning simple things like 5 pennies= 1 nickle.

Still a very healthy little eater and typically has no aversion to eating her veggies. She does prefer eating them raw and loves going to my favorite salad spot for lunch after morning gymnastics.

Loves listening to music and enjoys playing piano and guitar with Daddy. We have the keys on our piano labeled so for about the past year she has been learning the notes.

Loves her "Best friend pup" and sleeps with him every night.

Very good at drawing and has taught herself to draw so many things that I did not think a three year old could even draw.

Going to gymnastics three days a week- she can do front rolls, tuck jumps, straddle jumps, and pikes all by herself and is even walking backwards on the beam, doing small jumps on the beam, and doing simple flips on the bars. She is currently working on cartwheels and simple back walkovers using the mat that is shaped like a block.

Fully potty trained- praise the Lord for that one!

Knows all about different types of food and can tell you which foods are healthy and which are unhealthy.
