Play Date

A couple of weeks ago Sarah Bird and her son Beniah came over for a "play date." I am not sure that Emilee is ready for play dates now. Sarah and I had a great time visiting but poor Beniah had to fend off an over eager play date. Emilee was so excited that she kept grabbing him and making him cry. Then she obviously has an issue with sharing. This came about when we let Beniah use Emilee's red car walker. Emilee was like no that is mine and pushed him. That is something I believe her and I are going to have to work on.

It was cute to see them interact when Emilee was not being too assertive. That little girl is so unlike me it is scary. Where I even as a small child was very shy (still am), she is extremely outgoing and is quite forceful in getting the attention she wants. Perhaps she takes more after Lee in that respect. Those of you who knew him as a young child any thoughts? I hope that she continues to be outgoing and assertive as she grows up. They are wonderful qualities to have and they will serve her well in the future.

Her first birthday is quickly approaching and I am excited to see what her second year with us is going to bring. She has been such a blessing in our lives and has brought our family unit closer together. I can hardly remember life without her and can hardly wait to see what the future brings. I believe we are going to have her party on the first of April and haven't decided yet whether to have it at my place or at Lee's dads place.
