Emily has been hit or miss on her naps this week. She didn't take a nap on Tuesday and didn't take a nap today either. Right now it's o.k. because she is still in a baby bed and plays while I work . . . but oh what to do when we move her to a big girl bed in a few weeks . . . I think my glory days of working part time while she naps might be coming to an end . . .

Play time
Today, several of us got together with friends that moved away several years ago. We met at our church and had planned on letting the kids play on the playground but it's been raining all day today . . . so we all crammed into the 2 year old classroom. The noise level was CRAZY but it was fun for all of us to catch up with Angela and Cindy and to see their children:

Indoor Play
We met Emily's friend Julia at an indoor play area today. The girls enjoyed seeing each other and running from place to place:
We found out today that Julia and Emily will be in the same class at school starting in a few weeks so I know Emily will be excited!

Singing
It has been a CRAZY week so I haven't posted anything on the blog. Last night after Emily's bath she kept singing "Do a deer . . . " so I got it on video. Each night before bed we have to pick out a new animal to sleep with and then she picks out songs to sing. For the past few nights it's been this song. Enjoy!

Playing in the Sand
Yesterday morning several people from church took their children to an indoor play area. So Emily and I met them there. The main area is a big ol' sand box. Emily has never played in the sand so she had a big time. It was hard for her to jump in the jump zones because of the big kids so after a few times on the slides she enjoyed this:
I took this picture the other day while she was napping . . . I love seeing children sleep . . . they are so cute:
Giving up the pacis was easy for us . . . thank goodness . . . Emily now enjoys picking out a different animal to sleep with every day. She only wants one in her bed at a time.
Yesterday when we were leaving the house she had to open up one of her books and leave it open on the couch and sat Little Merm@id on one side and Cind&rella on the other and told me that they were going to read the book while we were gone : ) She also tried to cover up Little Merm@id this morning with a post card and told me she was sleeping . . . the post card was her blanket. Funny girl!
This morning we went to the library to check out an Elm0 DVD on potty training . . . we just watched it . . . I was a little grossed out . . . and laughed out loud at the adults and animals dancing and singing about pee and poo . . . oh the lengths we will go people . . . the lengths we will go.

Family Fun Night
Tuesday night our favorite chicken place had their annual Family Fun night. We met the Eldridges for dinner there (free kids meals!) and then let the girls participate in all the activities. We tried going last year but it rained for most of the night and Emily was really too young to enjoy it anyway. This year she had a good time. As you can see from the pictures . . . it was hot and humid!
Emily got her nails painted for the first time. She sat really still but when the girl asked if she wanted a flower sticker on her thumb, she balled her hands into a fist and left blue nail polish all over the palms of her hands. So her fingers have half blue on them . . . and she is still wearing it . . . groovy:
She got her face painted again and picked out the same lady bug:
They had a lady there that was letting children try out her violins. She offers group violin lessons to children 4 and up. This is Joe's favorite instrument so he was excited about Emily getting to try it out. She was so serious the whole time:
They also had a L0wes booth there where you could make a small craft. We didn't have time for that so Joe picked up her package for her. She got an apron and a kit. She saw the apron and told me she didn't want to wear a life jacket . . . um . . . ok. Anyway, last night Joe and Emily put her box together:
Can you guess where we were from the picture:

Friends
Saturday night we met with friends to say goodbye to the Eldridges. They are moving back to Alabama in a couple of weeks. If you look closely you'll see that Joe was being a goof ball for the camera : ) When we first moved here 6 and a half years ago, the Robersons had one daughter. We sure have grown . . .
Tonight when Emily got out of her bath she ran to the computer room (which is about to be her room) to watch Joe play his game on the computer . . . she looked so cute I couldn't resist taking a picture:

Fun at the Mountain
Yesterday we went to St0ne Mtn to enjoy all the new fun stuff they have to do there and to watch the famous laser show:
The last time we went here the only attraction they had was the laser show. Now they have a whole "small town" now to walk around with lots of kids activities. We didn't make it to everything we wanted to but that just means we can go back another time.
The first thing we went to was a 4D movie but we only stayed for the first 5 minutes of the show because a bunch of scary fish jumped out of the water and Emily started crying. We didn't realize it was going to be like that. So we walked around to see what other activities we could participate in. We ate dinner and then went to a barn where they have all these levels where you can collect foam balls and then shoot them thru guns down to the other areas:
Joe turned into a little boy for a little bit and had fun chasing around this group of boys and hitting each other with the balls:
while Emily enjoyed just throwing her balls over the side:
We then walked over to the train that takes a ride around the mountain:
By the time the train ride was over the sky lift that takes you to the top of the mountain was closed so Emily and I didn't get to ride that. Joe wasn't sad about that because he wasn't going to go up there with us . . . as he likes to say, "I didn't lose anything up there so no need to go." We found a spot for our blanket and hung out until the laser show started. Joe and Emily enjoyed some ice cream to pass the time:
Emily enjoyed running around and finding other kids she could talk to. This girl is the most social child I've ever seen:
Emily enjoyed the show with us and then we made the trip home. She fell asleep in the car and I don't think she remembered me changing her into her pjs and putting her in her bed. We can't wait to go back another time!!!! Sky Lift here we come : )
