2010 was a BIG year for Emily - lots of "firsts"
She "graduated" from kindergarten
She lost her first tooth!
She celebrated her 6th birthday and she rode her first "BIG" (or real if you prefer to call it that) rollercoaster and we quickly discovered that she is a complete daredevil and can't get enough...unfortunately, she's just not tall enough yet to ride all of the rides she'd like to!
She started 1st grade and is doing an awesome job! We are amazed at how far her reading has come!
She started a dance class and absolutely loves it!
And she got to go to the Alamo for the first time!
It's been so much fun watching Emily grow up this year and experience so many firsts (although sometimes I'd like to just press the pause button and slow things down for a little while). I can't wait to see what this next year brings.
Jason calls Emily "mini me" and she is so much like me that it scares me sometimes! I've always loved reading and she seems to share that love. She gets so excited when her Scholastic book orders come home and wants to order every book. I remember those days! She also seems to be interested in history and was so excited to visit the Alamo and learn more about what happened there. It took me back to my first trip to the Alamo - I was about a year older than her the first time I went.
Here are some things that I love about Emily right now:
She may be a "mini me" but she is definitely a daddy's girl! Jason takes her to school and picks her up when he's able to and they have their own special traditions that go along with that (like going to get special treats in the afternoon and not telling mom!) She loves riding in daddy's truck.
She is a GREAT big sister and Jacob absolutely adores her! She is also a great help to me because she will entertain Jacob (and keep him out of trouble) so that I can get things done around the house.
She's got great artistic abilities and is constantly coming up with new art projects all on her own. She also has such a big heart and is constantly putting her talents to use making cards and pictures for other people.
We are so blessed to have this little girl (who is getting bigger every day) in our family!
