Well, I can't believe how much time has passed! I guess I'm one of those "terrible" parents who says they're going todo something & then doesn't always follow thru like I intend.
Let's see...what's been going onin the Hytree household these past 10 months:
1) Emelia started Pre-K in Sept 2007 & loved it. She's still a little shy when it comes initating play with the other kids but ready to jump in as soon as someone invites her to play. She's still having a tough time with her letters & numbers but it's something that we'll keep working on & eventually it will come. She's able to identify all the letters & say them (plus we're working on what sound each letter makes) but her hard-time comes in writing them.
2) We had a very nice Thanksgiving & Christmas. Thanksgiving was spent in VA with Amy, Jimmy & the kids, while Christmas was spent here in OH with Amy, Jimmy & kids coming here.
3) Emelia celebrated her 5th birthday on Easter Sunday this year...March 23! This birthday was a big milestone for us. From that day forward Emelia has been a part of her family longer than she was without one. God is good isn't He?! For her party my little girl wanted a Lightning McQueen party! I tried every way I could think of to make it "girly" but ultimaly there's just nothing "girly" about cars. Which by the way worked out well since all of her friends that came were boys! And my girl isn't "girly" she likes some girl things but she informed me the other day that she wants to be a boy because boys get to wear Lightning McQueen "panties".
4) School is now out for the year & summer break has set in! We're signed up for storytime at the Library, she's going to Safety Town in the morning for 2 weeks, and has swimming lessons June-Aug. Plus on June 25 Emelia & I will be heading to London to visit Abbey for a nice vacation. In Aug we'll head down to VA to visit a new little addition to the family!
5) Emelia is beginning to show a little more of her independent streak as time goes bye. I just can't believe sometimes how stubborn she is! During those times I remind myself that she's exactly what I prayed for (and more!)
I'll try to do better with the updates! If not...email me & tell me I need to get it in gear!
