Pajama Day

Emily had a great Christmas season this year. She is at a great age to really know what is going on and enjoys being a part of all of it - singing, decorating the tree, eating sweets, opening presents, helping with our annual puzzle, etc.

She doesn't quite get the whole concept of keeping secrets, though, so there were a few incidents where she would point to a present and say something like, "This one is for you, Dad. It's a frame that we bought for you." This makes Chad crazy because he likes everything to be a big surprise.

Emily is back at school now, and is happy to be back with her friends. Apparently there is one little boy that is a special friend of hers. The teachers say that they are very smitten with each other and they will wake each other up after nap and hug and rub each others backs. So cute. Apparently she goes for the older men, though, because this little guy is 4 already. :)

One of Emily's favorite events at school is Pajama Day. She asked and asked about it and it finally arrived last week. Here she is, all ready to go school, and looking like a little goof in her pj's, robe, hat and shoes. Quite a get up.

Other than recovering from a cold that resulted in a nasty ear infection, not much else is going on with Emily. She has been a big fan of Abbie's violin playing lately, and has begun requesting "Twinkle, twinkle little star." She often makes Abbie play it more than once, and she likes to sing along as Abbie plays (which makes Abbie crazy, of course). Very cute.
