Riding Together

The kids had a lot of fun on Saturday riding their bikes with our neighbors on our street. Emma even made a little basket on her bike so that Summer School (yes, that is her doll's name) could ride with her. Sam is relaxing in the wagon after riding his Lightening McQueen bike so long that he said he needed a juice break. So mom pulled him while he rested and had some juice. It was a beautiful, sunny California day.

Sidewalk Chalk

Emma had some great fun with sidewalk chalk in our backyard. See if you can see what she has created this art work for. Hmmm???? I wonder.

Hooray for Emma!

Completely awesome dental appointment this morning. Emma sat is the chair for the first time, leaned back, opened wide and didn't need any assistance whatsoever!! We are sooo proud of her. It may have taken years to get here but we are proud of her to have worked through her fears and now the whole dental office won't know when Emma is there. She was as quiet as a mouse today. It's hard to convey what a HUGE step this is for her. Sensory wise her mouth is on the extremely high side so for her to allow Dr. Singer to explore, examine, wiggle and touch teeth is tremendous for her. We are celebrating tonight. Emma got to select the reward: Amy's Gluten Free Mac n Cheese with a side of french fries. I wish I had taken my camera today but we had no idea this visit would be so amazing.

Our little helper!

Now that the chandelier is up, Emma has decided she wants her walls painted pink. So Daddy let her help paint a section of her room. She had so much fun! It is becoming a true little Princess room.

Having fun!

Sam and Emma had a blast today jumping in their Mickey Mouse jumper with Ansley. So great to see our friends from Texas.

The chandelier

The chandelier was hung up on Saturday and we are thrilled to report Success!! For the first time in her entire life, Emma slept in her room, by herself, through the night! Time to celebrate! Who knew a chandelier could make that much of a difference.
