Emily - 4 years, 9 mo. - May 16

Emily truly is in Mommy mode with her brothers and sometimes I forget she's only 4 years old.  She has done such a good job adjusting to the changes the last 5 months.  We are still working on being patient, but even most adults struggle with it so we take our daily successes.  

The most recent "deep questions with Emily" was during a teachable moment where she asked, "Mommy, how does God punish Mommies and Daddies for disobeying?"

Emily is sporting her brand new waterproof apron which was handmade by my Mom.  This apron serves so many purposes.  It's not only good for times when she helps cook, but also helps keeps the clothes somewhat dry during "water time" (playing in the kitchen or bathroom sink) on those rainy or absolutely scorching Summer days and during finger painting fun.  Check out this very cool site to see how to make a thumbprint tree which can be done with finger paint if you don't have craft paint around your house.
