Waiting for little sister to come home...



Emma and I had so much fun waiting for her mom, dad, and Isabel to come home. The funniest moment happened when she woke up yesterday morning crying her little heart out asking for Buppa, TV, Buppa, TV... She didn't even have her eyes open yet! Too cute. She spent the 2 days talking a storm up on her telephone having all kinds of imaginary conversations (actually starting the conversation saying hello and ending with bye-bye), reading her Bob the Builder book to her pet monkey, playing "Where's Emma" (hiding her face behind her hands, she thinks she's invisible), putting together her puzzles (she's pretty good at the Curious George one), dusting my floors with a Swiffer, and singing songs (Again, Again, Again...). I think Again is her favorite word... Well, maybe not. TV might be her other favorite word. We did try to limit her TV time and even closed the TV behind the cabinet doors, otherwise, she kept repeating TV, TV, TV. She got a little chocolate ice cream from Grandma and at first didn't like how cold it was, but after a quick swish in her mouth, she got a huge grin on her face and thought it was so funny for us to share!

Isabel came home at about 4:30 yesterday and slept right through Emma's squeals of delight with seeing her Mom and Dad again! All you could see was her little face peaking through her car seat cover with a little pink hat saying "Princess" on it given to her by her Great-Grandma. I can't wait to hold her again! Melissa will be posting her photos on her website so I'll hold off for now. Check back soon though as I'll be posting pictures soon. Check out these 2 - one showing Emma reading to her monkey and the other one of her playing dress-up (it's a little blurry but check out her side pocket!).
