I found out on Tuesday that I'm going to have a little baby brudder. Mom and dad let me come to the ultrasound, but babies look creepy on the computer screen. Nothing like in the American Girl catalogs.
Now we get to think of names. Mom and dad are going to make me crazy asking me about names.....

Summer into Fall
A busy summer has brought us into fall, and we are all excited for the beautiful weather, the magical changing of the leaves, and the simple delights of caramel apples, hayrides and corn mazes.
Since I have not written in a while, here are a few things we've been up to over the past several months:
-Trip to Wisconsin for Aunt DeeDee's graduation from nursing school. My hormonal mother was all teary-eyed during the ceremony: we are all incredibly proud of DeeDee. She will be an outstanding nurse.
-Enrollment in Tap & Tumble classes on Thursdays at school. It is basically gymnastics class -- and I enjoy jumping, bouncing, and doing all kinds of exercises, it's quite fun.
-Learning lots of letters. I'm getting good at identifying letters in the alphabet and often say "E starts with Me." (As in, Emily starts with E)...
-Getting a grip on the calendar. I know the days of the week and I like to talk about what to expect each day, and know if it's a school day or not. I look forward to THursdays, for Tap & Tumble, and Fridays, for "Share day" (show and tell). But, Saturday and Sunday are the best, when we can make pancakes and play in our jammies all morning and stay home and chill.
-A little travel. We went to Grandpa Gene's lakehouse a few weekends ago and it was so fun to get away. It was a long drive, but we had plenty of ice cream and giggles, and mom stopped at the Carter's outlet and I hit the clothes jackpot! I got a new winter coat, snow pants, hat, gloves, scarf, as well as new jammies and some pants and shirts! I'm all set for the cooler weather. We also got to go to the Roscommon petting zoo and I really loved the little monkey who played peekaboo with me and mom. He was sweet.
-Fall Festivals at Dill's Greenhouse. I went once with the Air National Guard and once with my daycare. We got to roast wienies over a fire, go through a corn maze, and take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch. I really enjoy fall festivities like this, it was fun both times.
-Art. I do art almost every single day -- coloring books, cutting construction paper, playing with glitter glue, colored chalk, finger paints, watercolors, stickers, pipecleaners, etc. I think art is one of my favorite things right now. Art, and my dog Greta. I give her hugs a lot.
-Time. I often tell mommy what time I did things, or what time she can do things. You know, things like, "Mommy, I'll be hungry again at 9:00." Or, "I want to do this for a lot of more minutes." And, "No - give me ooooooooone more minute." Last night I asked for nine more minutes in the bathtub and mommy laughed (I guess she has this freaky obsession with strange numbers -- so when she uses the microwave she does things like 1:43 or 2:17 rather than ending with 5 or 0 -- so nine was right up her alley.)
-Shoes. Even though it's getting much cooler, I'm still a flip flop queen. I wore them to school today, in fact, to show off my fancy pedicure. Mommy painted my toes orange yesterday, and today she put on little bat and spider stickers in preparation for Halloween. I just had to show them to my friends.
-Getting ready to be a big sister. It's so strange to think about being a big sister -- and so confusing. People ask me constantly "Emmy, do you want a baby brother or a baby sister?" And I keep them on their toes. I answer "baby brudder" half of the time, and "baby sister" the other half of the time. Today I asked mommy why she brought her gym shoes in the car when she dropped me off at school. She said that she was going to exercise and then going to work. I asked her if she was going to take the baby with her...and she said YES. And then I asked if she was going to work out fast or slow.....I hope she took it easy with that baby in her belly.
-Sleeping in my big girl bed. This really isn't anything new, I have been sleeping in my big girl bed since about May. I enjoy our routine of bath, stories and bed. And then I usually sing and talk myself to sleep......which is my secret plan to drive mommy and daddy crazy as they listen through the monitor. :)
Funny things I've said lately to get a kick out of the grownups:
-Momma Drama
-Give me just a lot of more moments
-"Are you taking the baby with you to exercise?!"
-E starts with Me
-Mommy, you're makin' me craaaazy
-Dad-de (short e --- sounds hilarious)
Most frequently asked questions:
-Why
-Can we go to Gramma's blue house
-Can I have some string cheese?
-Is it a school day?
-Where are my markers?

Chocolate Doughnuts
Hi Friends!
We've had a really busy and fun summer so far and I wanted to take a moment to get you up to speed.
Huh?
You see, when we got back from the U.P., we didn't have a lot of groceries in the house. Mom and I went to the store to get milk and produce. While we were shopping, we split a doughnut with chocolate icing and sprinkles. It was delicious.
That same day, mommy told the daycare that she is having another baby!! I am going to be a big sister! And, later that day a teacher asked me what was in mommy's belly -- so I told her, "A chocolate doughnut, and we shared it!" Everyone got a good laugh, and I don't really understand why, but maybe you will think it's funny, too!
I'm very excited to become a big sister. I tell mommy all the time that I am a big girl, and I try to help out as much as I can. It's a lot of work to be a big girl, but I like it. It's more fun than being a baby, I get to do so many fun projects and really use my creativity.
Thanks for stopping by - we'll keep you posted in the weeks ahead. Mom and I are pretty busy now though, as Daddy's is gone for 5 weeks at training. He left me a recordable Hallmark bedtime story to listen to -- and I listen to it every day. I sure do miss him, he's an amazing daddy.
Have a great week!
We've had a really busy and fun summer so far and I wanted to take a moment to get you up to speed.
- I've been fishing with daddy several times.
- We've been to several picnics and fireworks shows.
- I am continuing to love the Frog room at Goddard School.
- Each week I get better at coloring and painting "in the lines."
- My vocabulary is exploding, according to mom.
- One of my favorite phrases really confuses mom and dad -- I like to say "it is, but it isn't, but it is." and "I did, but I didn't...but I did."
- I took a trip with daddy to watch the World Cup with Grandma and Grandpa Loepertz and many cousins in Michigan.
- We took a family trip to the U.P. to see Grandma and Grandpa Brannstrom and Aunt DeeDee and Uncle Jimmy.
- And, I told my teacher that there's a chocolate doughnut in Mommy's belly.

I'm three
I had two parties for my birthday. One with my girl friends and their mommies.
And another with family, neighbors and additional friends.
It was a really special time of celebration, cupcakes and baby dolls. I think three will be my best year yet.

Getting so big...
I've been sleeping on my mattress all week and am getting eager for my new twin bed to arrive. Tonight mom and dad are taking apart the crib and the changing table.
Mom and Dad have been busy getting ready for my party. I'm excited for my little friends to come celebrate with me! And, I'm getting so pumped for my extended family to come party some more over Memorial Day weekend.
Our weather has been wild lately. A string of warm days, followed by cold days, then rainy days. It's making it hard to decide what to wear in the morning. I love sundresses and fun summer clothes, but the weather isn't quite ready for that. Maybe next week when they're calling for 80s.
We have been watching a momma fox and her babies play in the yard. The little ones love to run circles and play and play and play! They come nearly every evening if we're not outside. It's fascinating.

From mom:
- Emily uses the word "Actually" quite often lately.
- She has only wet her bed once since potty training, even though she wants a glass of ice water every night
- She wants to help us when we're cleaning.
- Loves Kielbasa - calls it a hot dog
- Any kind of art project and she's in heaven
- She's transitioning into the preschool room at school over the next two weeks
- Em is definitely a daddy's girl, and I think it's sweet

Harrisburg and Sleeping in a nest
Last weekend we took a visit to Harrisburg, PA. I got to see our old neighbors, Len and Sue, and eat some delicious food. My favorite activity was playing with a scissors, glue and pipe cleaners. I also made a bunch of paper airplanes and enjoyed running in and out of the screen porch. Good times.
While we were there, I slept in a little nest on the floor - made up of a sleeping bag and some sheets and blankets. Last night, since I was such a good girl, mommy let me sleep on my crib mattress -- on the floor! Soon it is time for mommy and daddy to get me a big girl bed!!
Over the next two weeks I will be moving up to the 3 year old room at Goddard because I am right on track with all of my key milestones, including potty training. I'm excited to move into the next room and do even more projects!
A few weeks ago I delighted mommy on Mother's Day. I told her that she is my "Sweet, sweet friend." I thought she was going to cry!
Next week I turn three and mommy is throwing me a little party with some of my girlfriends. I can't wait. And then for Memorial Day weekend we are having an even bigger party with friends, family and neighbors. It will be so much fun! I'll write more after the festivities!
Hope you're doing well!
Oh - in other news, mommy thought it would be funny to jot down the following:
I love calling daddy a Sinkerpot, or a Stinkersaurus
I know how to access apps on daddy's iPhone. My favorite ones are the Dora games, the piano, coloring games...and the fart noise app. I giggle like crasy when I make those noises...

Turkey-Lurkey
I haven't been avoiding you, but mommy and I have been very busy playing and traveling for the past month or more. Have you missed us?
Daddy has been in Turkey since March 16. He is almost ready to come home (Tuesday) and we have missed him a lot. However, I am really good at keeping it in perspective and I know that if I am a good girl while he is gone that he will be very proud of me when he gets home!
Mommy and I took a week-long trip to Wisconsin to visit Grandma and Grandpa "Poppins" and Uncle JimJim and Aunt DeeDee the week before Easter. It was an awesome trip - we got to see several friends and relatives, too. I even got to see some horses and cows on great grandpa's farm and visit a large Easter egg house at a bakery. It was fun to go Madison and it was kind of hard to get back into a routine after we got back. The best part -- Uncle Jim geared me up with some new badger clothes!! Go Bucky!
At the end of March my pacifier was broken (I have a hunch mom was involved) and I decided to throw it away. We don't even talk about it anymore, so I know that it was the right time for me to be a big girl. Hopefully when Daddy comes home we can upgrade my crib to a big girl bed so I can use my new Dora sheets!
For Easter we got to visit with our next door neighbors and another military spouse. It was a beautiful weekend and also perfect for the 20,010 egg hunt at our church! Good times.
Last weekend mommy went to a family readiness conference, so Gramma Diane came to entertain me. We had a fun time cooking and doing bubbles and 3-D chalk. It was really good to see her!
Mom says I am a social butterfly because I like to talk to people at stores and restaurants. Never know what I'll say next! She's just hoping I won't tell anyone that she wore daddy's t-shirt and boxers to bed last night because she misses him! Haha!
I've been taking Tumbling Lessons at Gym Xtreme Kid Sport in Canal Winchester once a week. It has been very fun and I like the ability to use the bars, beams, trampolines, mats, etc. They really expose us to a lot of different things and it's been a fun time. I probably won't do it this summer so that I can take swimming classes instead. Mommy wants Daddy to take me!
This weekend we have a few fun things planned, and I know mommy also wants to make some posters and fun things for when daddy comes home. Maybe we can even make him a cake because his birthday is on Thursday.
Have a great weekend!

Mommy Update:
Emily loves to use the word "Forlost" -- I think it's a blend of forgot and lost, but she often says, "I forlost it." or "Did you forlost it, mommy?" It's pretty cute.
She also uses the food GooseBus instead of School Bus. Although last week she upgraded to "Yellow School Bus" so we may be outgrowing that cute term!
And, in early March, she picked up a phone in our house while I was in the middle of a 30+ person conference call. I think I had a mild heart attack, but everyone else got a good laugh out of her "Hello? Hello! Hi"...

Snow Day = Stir Crazy
Sick of being trapped inside, going a little crazy, shoes on backwards, ditch the pants, and have a party with mom's salad spinner and all the food and lunch accessories possible. Ah, this is the life.

Not a baby anymore
(Post by Claire)
Emily is growing so fast. Her vocabulary is blossoming and it's just beautiful. She now forms full thoughts -- strings of sentences -- to express her feelings and ideas. And last night I about melted when she came home from school and gave me a huge hug and said, "I missed you, Mommy."
Sometimes I am in complete denial that she is already two and a half. It feels like just yesterday that she was born, with that pile of dark curly hair that is now so fair, straight and long. She is starting to do so many things herself -- and often asks to put her coat on without assistance. She also wants to help us with nearly everything we do.
It's hard to put a finger on what I love most about our precious little bean. Perhaps, so far, it is her simple ability to see the world without judgment and hatred. She is so pure and innocent and it's a joy to see the curiosity in her eyes, and sheer delight in her expressions.
Can't I just keep her like this forever?

My eye is broken, Learning Tower
A post from momma C
When Emily was sick over Christmas break, she kept saying, "Mommy, my eye is broken.....mommy my ear is broken."
It was so precious (and somewhat hilarious!) and I love that she is getting old enough to tell us what was hurting. She also told us her tummy hurt about an hour before she threw up. So amazing to pause and think how far she has come since birth, when her cry was her only communication tool.
On the subject of the broken eye -- she often points at my left eye and tells me it is broken. I look in the mirror and do not know what she is seeing -- other than crow's feet! Ha!
*******
In other news, we recently purchased a Learning Tower for Emily. Em's friend Audrey got one for Christmas and we decided to get one, too. It's basically a wooden structure that she can stand in when she wants to be at the counter in the kitchen. It allows her to be mommy's helper (or daddy's helper!) when cooking, baking, coloring, or even eating at the counter. She loves it so much that she doesn't even want to sit at the table with us -- she wants to stand at the counter...too funny.
Fun times!

Christmas
December blew by in a big hurry! Highlights include:
-Decorating the tree with daddy
-Sitting on Santa's lap at the Guard holiday party
-Baking cookies with my friend Drew from daycare (his mommy and my mommy are becoming great friends)
-Playing in the snow in our yard
-Having Christmas celebrations with my family in Michigan and Wisconsin
-Playing in an igloo that Daddy built with uncle JimJim
-Riding my boat (sled) in Michigan and Wisconsin
-Eating a lot of cookies
-Enjoying books, puzzles, an easel, lots of toys and clothes, and most importantly -- a million hugs and kisses from my family!
-Leaving out cookies and milk for Santa
-Getting sick....I think the festivities of Christmas finally caught up with me and I got a virus including a chest cough, eye goobers, an ear infection and lethargy. Thank goodness for medicine.
Now that we're home from an 11-day trip to Wisconsin, our family is getting back in gear for a great year. We have already torn down all the Christmas decorations and put away our gifts. Yesterday I started at the 2 1/2 year old room at Goddard (Ms. Stacey's Room -- The Frisky Foxes). I'm excited about it.
In other developments, I am loving my Dora undies! During December mommy and daddy let me have chocolate from the chocolate (advent) calendar for going "pp on the potty" in the morning. That was a fun way to start my days!
Thanks to all the friends and family who sent Christmas letters. Mom showed me all the pictures and it was fun to see everyone!
Well, it's a busy day at school. Don't want to miss out...better get back to it!
