Emilia’s Journal

notes from mom and dad

Editor’s note, the following story was told to me about Emilia’s day:

Today I played with Hudson. We played games, and also we just played walk. We didn’t do circle time today (editor’s note, not true).

My favorite letter today is E.

This picture is me hanging on to the railing. My shirt says hug me.

I don’t want to tell my grandmas anything else about the day.

“we’re all hungry bears today!!!”

in the middle of pancakes this morning…

“Don’t grump at me!”

“my name is Emilia and I like to JUMP!”

This morning on the way to daycare. Emi is in her car seat with a blanket covering her up.

Dad: Emi, do you want to listen to some music today?

Emi: No, Daddy, it’s too cold for jazz hands!

“I like cows.”

“what else do you like emilia?”

“Donuts!”

Emilia,

You love music and dancing. Most days when we get home from daycare, I’ll put on some music and we’ll dance around a little bit.

You’ve already got better moves than me!

Dear Emilia,

We were lucky to find a wonderful person for daycare. Every day she writes little report cards about your day, what you ate, and what you and your friends did.

The most recent card made us feel so happy when we read it:

I have a feeling your litttle Emilia will be an exceptional mommy someday! She is so nurturing, not just with her various dolls and stuffed animals but with her friends as well. She is often right by my side when someone needs comforting and today brought a tired and cranky William his blankie and minutes later, Lucy her pacifier. This afternoon Hudson was sitting on my lap after having just woken up when Emi came over, kissed him and then rested her head on his. So Sweet!

It is always amazing to me when I realize how much you have already learned! You are a sweet little baby who is quickly growing into a joyful little girl.

Love, Dad

Emi-

Here is the first time we put your hair in pigtails. I think it is absolutely adorable, but it didn’t take long for you to find them and pull them out. At least we have it captured on a photo!

Love, Mom

Dear Emi-

Watching you blow kisses to Daddy and laugh brings a smile to my face every time I see it. I hope you always laugh as much as you do now.

Love, Mom
