Emily has been doing really well with her swimming lessons. She jumps off the side of the pool to her teacher and flips to her back to float. Last night she went underwater with her teacher's help to grab some rings at the bottom of the pool! She also goes off a slide into the pool. I signed her up for summer lessons tonight:
Emily's new phrase is "Hey _______ watch this" and then proceeds to do something. She says it to whoever is near her at the time and she says it about a million times a day : ) Wednesday morning she said it to Abigail all the way to school. Abigail was too busy chewing on her linking letters to pay attention though . . .She has also started participating during the singing at church. This has been so great to watch. The Sunday she started was a few weeks ago when they had a song insert in the church bulletin. Emily knew it was sheet music and held it up during all the songs and sang with us. Joe and I kept that sheet in her church bag and she has used it each week since then. I've been so tempted to pull out my cell phone to take a picture of her because it melts my heart to watch her sing . . .
This past Sunday they had a picture of a cross on one of the slides and Emily spoke up and said, "that's a cwoss . . . that's where Jesus lives . . . Jesus lives on the cwoss". They had a special service for the seniors graduating from high school and had a slide show with pictures of each senior as a baby, child, teenager, and senior picture. When the slide show was over Joe and I both were all teary eyed! We were both thinking about Emily and Abigail graduating one day . . . I'm sure it will be here before we know it!
