Adventures with Grandma

Grandma Shelar came to visit and take care of Emma for a week (woohoo, see you later daycare!).  Emma had oh-so-much fun with Grandma!!!!  And Mama and Papa took advantage of the free childcare and had a much needed quality time / winter vacation.  Win-win-win for all!!!

Here are some of the activities Emma enjoyed with Grandma last week:
  • Giggling, a lot;
  • Visiting some of Grandma's friends;
  • Being taught how to peel a Cutie (brand of mandarins);
  • Learning how to count;
  • Being introduced to a new potty doll;
  • Learning how to feed the new "baby" and change its diapers;
  • Having a party when Emma or "baby" went to the bathroom on the potty; 
  • Going to the library for "blocks and books" story time;
  • Playing with all the new toys at the library, including the oversized stuffed animals;
  • Enjoying some corn fritters at the Old Mill restaurant;
  • Wearing new headbands from Grandma;
  • Snuggling with her new stuffed animal, Birdie (also accidentally referred to as duckie and chicken by Mama);
  • Making cookies;
  • Being spoiled by Grandma (<3);
  • Exploring the Museum of Science;
  • Playing with all her new toys from Grandma (stickers, party hats, window decals, Birdie, baby, etc.);
  • Getting ready for Saint Patrick's Day;
  • Celebrating Papa's birthday; and 
  • Becoming addicted to cookies (let's be honest, she kind of already was).
Here are some photographs of Emma hanging out with Grandma.

"Breakfast with Baby is so fun!  Do you think he would mind
if I had some of his yogurt?"

Concentrating hard on feeding baby.

"Kiss me, Grandma; I'm Irish!!!"

"My babies and I are having a party because...
I don't remember.  More cookies please!!!"

"Grandma, you can put anything on my head,
as long as you keep the cookies coming."

Snoring with Birdie.
