Big girl stuff

Emma is doing lots of big girl stuff lately. She is mostly helpful, and does a good job being the big kid when she is...I mean, what kid doesn't want to be the cool big kid, aka bossy with willing followers. ;) but she is also a good little kid, loves the big kids. 

Chilling with her 'daughter,' who she named Emma, of course...in new mermaid blankets knitted by Grandma Connie.

Hugs.

Natanya (2 1/2) and Emma did a great job at Mobile Meals on Saturday. If they could have closed the bags, they wouldn't have needed me. 

They were so cute. Natanya loved Emma, wanted her to be the bag holder, not me.

Finally learned how to pump her legs when she swings.

Pin the fin on the shark at Noah's 5th birthday party.

She actually hit the piñata this time!

Chilling with Mom at the dentist. I went first, while she laid on me and watched TV on the ceiling. Then they worked on her. She got a full big-girl cleaning and flossing done! 

Clean teeth!

Pumpkin smoothies for doing such a great job! 

Pepper was a brave girl today, too. She got her stitches out and her cone off!

She has been earning money. She wanted a flashlight, but in the process of looking for them at Walmart, she discovered the toy aisle and decided she wanted a Belle doll instead...except she didn't have enough money. Hard lesson to learn at 4. (You should have seen her sad face.) She put a little toy back so she could save up and get the one she wanted. :) So I'm finding chores for her to do to earn some more money. Tonight she did the dishes.
