No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed!

DISCLAIMER: this is the first time I've seen Emma jumping on her bed, and no it shall not continue as a practice in this household :)Actually, I've never even seen her do it on our bed, so here's hoping it isn't a secret habit of hers that she developed in 2 days that we must now break! hehe. Kids are awesome. What a blessing!!

Emma's Toddler Bed

Yesterday, Emma jumped on her new bed and said "I big girl!" Lyle and I were so stunned that we looked at each other and took a minute to respond to her!

She really is a big girl. She's talking for one, which does not cease to amaze me!

I was talking with a friend on Monday and in the Lord's providence when I mentioned that we were going to buy a bed this week for Emma, my friend replied "oh, you can have ours!"

How great is that?! This little bed is a huge blessing to us. a) it's free b) it's low to the ground c) it's really small and d) it's expandable! it fits perfectly into the space where her cot was, so I've had to do some tricky re-arranging of her room in preparation for baby to join her! Tonight is her first night in it, I checked on her a little while ago and she is fast asleep - with her head at the foot-end hehe. I'm so thankful for my little girl and great friends who so willingly bless us!!

A friendly heart

Yesterday we went shopping to buy Lyle some new clothes. Not surprisingly I detoured us momentarily into a children's clothing store. A little more surprisingly, Emma made a new friend . . .I'm not sure what exactly this is a sign of, but she loved these mannequins, it was really cute. She was sad to leave them.
