how dinner gets made when emmo is sick

emmo's playdate

We have been trading days with another mom at Valdez who has a son only a few months older than Emerson. It's been fun. Last week, Vincent and Emerson decided to put their babies to sleep, and I got a few photos.

rub-a-dub-dub three kids in a tub!

... and luckily it has new tile to compliment the picture! :)

Thanks to Jade, who lovingly watched Sofia, Emerson and Rylie while I went to teach yoga when Kent was out of town, we have these wonderful pictures of the three taking a bath! (Jade, I will share all of the pics with you, and I owe you!)

emerson lately

Emerson's goal is to figure out where everything goes, and how it works. He watches everything! When I put him into the car, he holds the seatbelt and tries to fit it together. When I ask him to put something in a drawer, he does it. He loves to put toilet paper into the toilet (but watch how much he takes!). He also loves to put trash into the trash can. He takes things out, and puts them back. It's amazing!!

But don't be fooled! He has quite a will, and when something is not going the way he wants it, he can really get mad! (I'm just waiting for a tantrum like I remember his Uncle Robin, stiffening his arms and arching his back so much that he plops right down on his head!)
