Christmas Singing! Christmas Play, Emma as “Mary”,First Trip to Dentist, Addicted to Wii

By ken on Thursday, December 23rd, 2010 | 1 Comment

Emma’s preschool class had their Christmas presentation for us parents and did they do a great job! Besides the Christmas show the class had a Christmas play for the class parents. Emma had the honor of being Mary. How cute!! This school does such a good job! This was a short show for us parents in the daytime. As the others, it was really cool! Emma had her first trip to the dentist which resulted in her watching Mom getting her teeth cleaned and a short look into Emma’s mouth. It was really to get her used to the atmosphere so that in the future she wouldn’t be …Read more […..]

Happy Halloween! Headstrong Little Stinker…

By ken on Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010 | 4 Comments

Halloween 2010 Halloween is always an awesome time here at our household and this year was great! Emma was Cinderella this year andÂ had her preschool party/costume parade which was very cute. And, of course, we had our annual Halloween party. This year, Emma understands better what the party is all about and she really enjoyed the awesome decorations and lights that we put up in the garage. She loved seeing her cousins all dressed up and she enjoyed taking pictures with our neighbor Carol who was dressed as a witch! Emma still loves(and hates) witches! In fact, Auntie Kathy left her …Read more […..]

By ken on Saturday, January 2nd, 2010 | No Comments

It was much fun at Lena’s house for her Christmas party. Emma was all over the place playing with all of her older cousins! She really loves Tina and kept her busy. She is friendly with everyone and even smiles at Uncle Vince and Uncle Fred! Of course Emma was spoiled like crazy by her aunts with all kinds of Christmas presents, especially tons of clothes. And, the food was, as usual, excellent!!!! Emma was really excited when her cousin Lauren(Lala) came to stay here from Florida. Emma really kept lala busy and took the heat off me and Mommie! She really likes lala and always looks …Read more […..]

Bad Behaviors,Christmas Performance

By ken on Thursday, December 10th, 2009 | 1 Comment

Emma has been experimenting with some bad behaviors lately and I have a feeling that she has been learning them at school–from the other kids! The first thing she has been doing is when she gets mad at me. She has decided to start saying, “Bad Daddy” or “You’re a bad Daddy.” It gets under my nerves sometimes and I don’t want to over-react so I just tell her that I am not a bad Daddy but am looking out for her–not always in those exact words! Writing this right now makes me laugh when I think of her saying this but hopefully it is a phase–a stinker phase! The bad behaviors just keep getting …Read more […..]

1st Burn, Halloween Party at School, Trick or Treat! Little Miss Prissy

By ken on Monday, November 2nd, 2009 | No Comments

Emma suffered her first burn and it was a small one thank goodness! She was playing with the ceramic halloween pumpkin candle holder while a small candle was indide. This is after we continually told her not to play with this because it is hot. Well, the little stinker took the top off and touched the silver metal part underneath and…Ouch!!! She cried a little bit but once I put medicine on it and a Bandaid(A Princess Bandaid) all was OK. And, she could not help but talk about her booboo any chance she got and to any person she could find! 🙂 Emma’s class had their halloween party at school. …Read more […..]

Rub My Back/Belly, Nonnie Here!, Thanks Nonnie for the New Word, I Want My Mommy, Icky Witch/Mean Old Lady, Halloween Store!

By ken on Monday, October 12th, 2009 | No Comments

Emma has this new thing where she likes when I rub her back and/or her belly when bringing her for a nap or for bedtime when Mommie isn’t home. She makes sure that I know that she wants me to do so by saying, “Daddy rub my back” or “Daddy rub my belly.” This is a great thing because it cuts down the time it takes for her to fall asleep-the anti-sleeper that she is! Well, Nonnie has come to stay here for awhile and Emma–and I–love it! Emma gets a new playmate for awhile and I get a bit of freedom too! A bad thing that came of Nonnie being here is the new bad word that Emma learned from her! …Read more […..]

Uncle Jeff & Auntie Jo, Wake Up Daddy, Its Christmastime, Christmas Parties, Santa Was Here! Aminals

By ken on Friday, December 26th, 2008 | No Comments

It has been about 5 months since Emma has seen my Uncle Jeff and his wife Jo. The last time she saw them she loved Jo but wouldn’t go by Jeff although she did start to play Peek with him from a distance. They came over and spent a nice evening with us recently. At first Emma was leery of Jeff and, of course, was immediately receptive to Jo. It didn’t take long however, for her to warm up to Jeff. At first, while Melissa & I talked with Jeff, Emma kidnapped Jo and took her into the living room to play. After awhile we all ended up in the same room at which time Emma kidnapped …Read more […..]

Oh Nooooooo, Santa! More Parties! Choo Choo Train

By ken on Friday, December 19th, 2008 | No Comments

When something goes wrong, even something very minor, Emma has recently been saying, “Ohhhh Nooooooo…..” It is funny how she says it. She says it in an exaggerated manner as if she is overly concerned–too funny! We went to 3 Christmas parties over the weekend, all on Saturday. The first party was a company family Christmas event that featured many attractions such as elves that painted faces and made cool candy cane balloons, crafts, karaoke, a train ride, and, of course, Santa Claus! Now, last year Emma was deathly afraid of Santa and cried when Melissa brought her by him. This year Emma …Read more […..]

A â€œMerry Christmasâ€

Just had to add this clever take on “Twas a night Before Christmas” as the politically correctness has gotten way out of hand… *Twas the month before Christmas *When all through our land, *Not a Christian was praying *Nor taking a stand. *See the PC Police had taken away, *The reason for Christmas – no one could say. *The children were told by their schools not to sing, *About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things. *It might hurt people’s feelings, the teachers would say * December 25th is just a ‘ Holiday ‘. *Yet the shoppers were ready …Read more […..]

Happy Thanksgiving! Snow!! “I Donâ€™t Need You Daddy and I Donâ€™t Need Momma, Iâ€™m a Big Girl”, Abonabo, The Bodeepot

By ken on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008 | 1 Comment

Thanksgiving was busy, busy, busy! Emma got to go to Grandma & grandpa’s and played with her cousins Lauren & Nicole. She really loves Lauren since she is younger than Nicole. I think Lauren is about 8 or 9 and Nicole is 13. Emma kept Nicole busy that is for sure! Emma also got to “play” with her 95(I think) year old Bucia. Funny how she has always been attracted to her…Maybe because she sees her as somewhat of a child? Bucia loved it too! Watching her, she looks at Emma with a wonderment that rivals my own! Even at that age, she seems to be reliving her own childhood. After Grandma …Read more […..]
