"Mommy, you look different!"

As many of you know, Emma wears glasses now. I would have posted this when she first got them a couple of weeks ago, however my camera died. She is still blind in her right eye (has been since birth) and at her last eye exam they discovered she's a little far-sighted in her left eye. Therefore, the glasses are to help her good eye see better and protect it (since it's the only good eye it is very important to 'shield' it).

When we first found out she needed glasses, I worried about how we would get Emma to keep them on, and how we would prevent Heidi and other children from pulling them off. To our surprise, Emma loves wearing them and they haven't been a temptation for Heidi or any other children to touch them. Actually, the first day Emma got them, she cried because she didn't want to take her glasses off at bedtime. We think they are helping because when she first put them on and looked at us she said, "Mommy you look different," and smiled.

Heidi is growing up fast. She'll be going to nursery this upcoming Sunday (nursery is the children's sunday school class at our congregation for those between the age of 18 mo. and 3 yrs.). She is fearless and confident...which is exhausting sometimes but she brings so much joy to our home.

Emma is Ms. Chatterbox. She comes in our room at 6:30 every morning and says, "Pssst Mommy, I need to eat eggs." She's our bright, dramatic, gorgeous girl. I'm gathering materials to start my own preschool program with her at home. (Someday I hope to run my own preschool out of my home for my children and our neighbors.)

Anyway, aren't they the cutest girls ever?! I know I'm biased, but still..
