Emily is "Free" (3)

Emily is three!  I can't put words on what it's like to see my little girl grow up and see her little personality develop from baby to toddler to little girl.   Sweet, sensitive, and smart are still the words that come to mind. This has been a big year, with the arrival of her baby sister and move to a new house.  She enjoyed new activities (gymnastics, romp & stomp) and spent a lot of time with friends.  She still loves to read books, do puzzles, play with her animals, and visit family.

A few interview questions with the birthday girl, asked over the course of a few days.
Who is your best friend? Rosalie
What is your favorite color?  Purple, and pink
What is your favorite book- The cat in the hat
What is your favorite animal?  An owl.  "Did you know that when owls are really still, they let people pet 'em?...[Giggle...]  That doesn't really happen."
What is your favorite food?  Cupcakes
What is your favorite game?- Daddy's chess
What is your favorite thing to drink? Grape juice  [not sure where this one came from - she won't really drink anything besides water lately.  Or chocolate milk.]
What's your favorite thing to do outside?   Ride tricycles
What animals do you sleep with? My night night animals.  [Papa Bear, Monkey, Baby bear & bunny]
What is your favorite thing to do with Daddy? Plant something in the garden 
What is your favorite thing to do with Mommy? Read a book together

Months ago, we started talking about her birthday and going to visit Granny in Philadelphia and go to the zoo.  The big event did not disappoint!!  We enjoyed perfect weather and made it through the majority of the zoo.  Some favorite animals were the rhino, giraffes, and kangaroos, as well as a close encounter with a tiger.    More pictures are here in our June album.
