Due to their age difference, I figured it would be a while before the girls truly played together. Recently there have been more moments of that, including a major dress-up session. At first, Emi didn't want to dress up, but Alaina kept begging her and eventually she relented. By the end, she was wearing a dress, crown, and wings. Princess dress-up school has begun!
This picture is from a tree-lighting ceremony we attended. The girls were shaking jingle bells together.
Finally, something special happened today. Emi says a lot of words, but hasn't done a lot of phrases yet. Today she said, "Oh my goodness!" and "Look at Emi!" multiple times. (Kind of makes me wonder if I say those things a lot...) It's so fun to see her combining words and making sentences. These types of things are so exciting for me as a mom. Not because I get any credit for it, but it's amazing to watch a human being develop and grow.
