Emerald spent last night with her Grandparents. She went to the mall and played around and had a wonderful time, then gorged herself on Furr's Buffet. Another sign that she is just a miniature Michael!!
Naturally, when she got home today, she was beyond exhausted from playing so hard at Ken and Rhonda's. As soon as she got home, she lay down on the couch and slept for an hour. Even then, she was so tired that she didn’t want to do much today. We colored with colored pencils, and Emerald helped me straighten up the house.
She was actually really helpful, since Gabriel was feeling needy, and she would bring him a pacifier, his elephant lovey, or a bottle. And she never complained when I needed to hold him instead. She just patiently sat beside us. In the sweetest moment of the day, she ever so tenderly stroked a crying Gabriel's face as he sat in his bouncy chair, wiping his tears away and quietly talking to him. He calmed down and just watched her. They are going to be so close =)
She went on two walks with us today, and at the end of the post-dinner walk, we set up
camp in the driveway, letting Gabriel sit in the stroller and watch us as we colored with chalk.
Emerald had a wonderful time, calling to the neighbors and their friends as they came
and went, and chattering away about what she was doodling.
She was really very tired by the time we made it back inside, so she got the bubble bath and lotion rub wind down treatment, as well as a hot cocoa and classical music. She is laying down now, waiting to tell Daddy goodnight before she goes to sleep.
Wonderful day with wonderful children =)
