Animal Observer

A pair of binoculars can be mighty fun for a kid.  Emma liked observing the birds and squirrels in Papa Mike and Grammy Jill's backyard.  One time a squirrel ran to the center of the pool cover for a drink!

A Little Trim

Emma had her first real haircut . . . well, professional trim by "the hair goddess" during a trip to Decatur.  Emma liked her penguin cape and watching herself in the big mirror.

Super Gymnast

During Spring Break, we took Emma to an open gym for some exercise and fun!  The foam pit was her favorite, and she did a good job of "swimming" to the sides to climb out.

More Than a Stick Figure

All of the above pictures were drawn by Emma with no assistance or coaching. She made them at her little art studio on her own while we prepared dinner or took care of other chores during the last two months.

Picture 1: A person with hair and a big hat.

Picture 2: A playground with a slide, swings, sandbox, and seesaw. The friends are holding hands as they swing.

Picture 3: A multicolored person with hair, a hat, fingers, toes, and a big smile!
