Everything Emma: Trouble TIMES TWO!

Trouble TIMES TWO!

If you were to look up the term "Trouble" in the dictionary right after the definition you would see, "i.e Emma and Alex." These two little monkeys are the definition of pure, unadulterated trouble making. They are approximately 7 weeks apart and reek havoc everywhere they go! Check out the mess that is surrounding them. This was made in just a few short minutes. An intense love for mess making and getting into things has caused these two to become pretty good pals over the past few weeks. They are absolutely adorable together and I just cannot get enough of their beautiful little friendship that is growing each and every day. Not only are these little play dates a blast for the kids but they are also quite nice for Melissa and myself. Melissa's husband is also deployed right now which means like me, she gets pretty lonely and often craves adult conversation due to the fact that she stays home with her son. These little play dates have quickly become a key part of our sanity since returning home to North Carolina after being in home with our families for most of the deployment. I am thankful for our friendship and hope that Alex and Emma's friendship continues to grow throughout the time we are stationed in North Carolina. Play on little loves!

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.
