This is Emma. She is 3 3/4 years old and she can't wait to turn 4 so she can go to school just like Morgan. She says that Morgan's school is her favorite building. She is very social. Everyday after we drop Morgan off at school Emma asks, "Mom, what friends house can we go to today." She always wants to be with friends. Luckily she has some pretend friends who get her through the boring days with Mom. All day long she says, "Mom, remember when . . . ?" and will ask if i remember something Curious George, or Jack and Annie, or some other book character did. It is pretty funny. I am impressed by how much she does remember from books we read.
Emma is a silly girl who loves to be fancy and funny. She loves to do silly tricks and make us laugh and she loves to dress up in fancy clothes. She comes up with some pretty awesome outfits and wild dress-up combinations. One of her favorite things is to wear Mom's clip-on earings. The other day we got to go to a doll's tea party. She had so much fun wearing a dress and making a fancy hat and teacup.
Emma got a new big bike for Easter and she rides it like a wild woman. The first ride we took her on i was a little concerned that Morgan would be frustrated by the slow learners pace. Boy, was i wrong. Emma hopped on that bike and zoomed out of the driveway speeding right past her more cautious older brother. As soon as we get the concept of brakes down we will be good to go. This picture reminded me of a funny story. For FHE we talked about the many beautiful things Heavenly Father has given us. We went out on a walk to take pictures of things around us. As soon as we came out Emma asked if she could take a picture of "that red thing down there". Seeing red bushes and red maples and red flowers in front of us i said, "Sure, lets wait until we get a little closer." After a bit of walking i asked which red thing she wanted to take a picture of. Finally she pointed and said, "That red thing with big tires!" Ah, i guess we have a true OK truck lover.
She has so much fun with her brothers. She loves to hold Talmage and try to entertain him (which sadly often ends in him crying). She is so happy when 3:00 comes and time to pick up Morgan. They have a lot of fun playing together, building block cities, saving Jack and Annie, driving cars, exploring outside, and many other adventures.
We are so glad to have Emma in our family. She is so eager to help out in any way. She is strikingly beautiful with her curly blonde hair and big brown eyes. We love our silly, lovey girl.

I LOVE the newspaper hat! You are SO creative Leslie!
Emma is adorable! She makes me smile!
Your observations remind me of a couple of things...
When Natalie was that age and we asked her how old she was she would say, "Four. Then five". Kids are always so eager to grow up.
Also, my Nathan had an imaginary friend (he was lonely when the four older siblings were at school). Her name was Jenny. It was a hoot!
I am glad that even your kids are asking to play all the time with friends. I thought, "Leslie must be too fun of a mom for her kids to ever want to be with anyone else." I am normal!!
Emma is so darling. She looks so much like you too!
Also I just thought I would let you know I invited you to read my 365 picture blog but others have told me the invite went to their junk mail folder so if you haven't gotten the invite you may want to check there. If you still can't find it let me know and I will resend the invite.
I love reading your blog and keeping up on your cute family.

She's adorable... a total clone of you Les!
She is so lovely . . . and she DOES look so much like you. :) Have you ever read the Fancy Nancy books with her? Nancy comes up with some pretty great outfits, too.
