Little potty mouth

Here's a funny little "update". Last night I was in the kitchen cleaning up from dinner and Emelia decided she was going to play in the hall outside her room. She had her little rocking chair set up there along with little stool she was using as a table & some of her Pampered Chef cookies cutters set . I checked on her at one point and she was being just as cute as could be...pretending she was making cookies. So, back to the kitchen I went to clean and shortly there after she came in with the bathroom cup and said "Mommy, drink". So, I said OK...let get your milk. Emelia, "No... water...bathroom". I continue on asking if she wanted a drink from the bathroom & she said "Yes...'Melia have drink...water in potty" GROSE!!!!! I almost died! I took the glass from her & noticed her sleeves were all wet. I had her show me where she got her water & sure enough, she pointed to the potty! As you might imagine we sat down & had a little talk about how we shouldn't drink out of the potty...that's ewwwww, yuck! Next time come ask mommy for a drink!

Updates on Emelia

Pop's came home again this weekend and let me tell you...Emelia LOVES when he comes home. It's all about Pop's when he's around! Today when he had to leave he decided to tell her that she could come to DC with him. It's not like we weren't already having a bad day...this just added to it! When she finally settled down & we left...she started up again crying "Mia...DC with Pop's" Talk about making me feel ike a creep! I was the bad guy telling her she couldn't go. I'll write more later, need to get dinner on the table.

Hello everyone! Welcome to our new site. I just wanted to start by saying that this past year has been an AMAZING journey. Emelia has been home now a little over a year and is doing wonderful. This picture is from her first day of Pre-K. She "loves" school. Tomorrow is her "special" day. It's all about her. She gets to take in snacks for all the kids, she gets to bring in pictures of herself AND she gets to bring her favorite book so the teacher can read it to the class. Plus, tomorrow is open house! She's going to have a great day. As I get more time here I'll write a bit more updates on how this past year has gone and the future here looks like. Blessings to everyone & good night!
