Couple of Cute Stories About Emma Claire

Emma Claire is growing so fast and her imagination is booming. Here are a couple of cute stories about my sweet girl:


The other day we were driving down the road and Camp started fussing. Emma Claire was going to be so sweet and try to calm him by singing him a song. She immediately started singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star..." and he continued to cry. So, her response was, "Oh, Mommy, he no like that one. How bout this one, Camp? Baaa, Baaa Black Sheep Have You Any Wool...." and he continued to cry. She did this over and over singing all the songs she knew until he stopped crying. It was so sweet to listen to her try to soothe her baby brother.

Emma Claire's imagination has just grown over the last couple of weeks. The other day she climbed up into the chair to watch a movie and turned around to help pull her friend 'Simba' up onto the chair to watch the movie with her. She also has an imaginary baby that she will carry around trying to soothe her while she is crying, feed her, and put her down for a nap. She will pretend that there are different types of animals in our house and ask me to look at them like they are sooo amazing. And of course I play along while we talk about how neat they are. She also walks around the house on her phone talking to who knows who telling them all types of stories. And the stories just go on and on. It is so neat to watch her and just listen to what all she can come up with. I love watching her grow!!!
