With Emmett needing extra attention (ie all of my attention) right now we played man-on-man with the kids this weekend. Todd took Emmett as much as he could and Brooklynn and I spent a lot of girl time together...shopping, reading, playing in her bedroom, taking baths together, special snacks for just us, movie with popcorn and M&M's, etc. Brooklynn also, got to go on two dates with her Auntie Jessi in the last week. The first time they went to Olive Garden for desserts and shopping. Then yesterday they went to see Lion King in 3D. Needless to say, Brooklynn had a blast both times. She looks forward to her monthly dates with her Auntie Jessi. XOXO to Jessi!!
Also, in August we finally turned our light weights car seat around (You know she is now 24 pounds.. that's 4 pounds over the legal limit to be turned around). She never asked to be forward facing but I thought it would be nice if the kids could see each other in the car. So far its worked out nice. What I did not think about before hand was that Emmett naps a lot in the car and that's hard if he can see his sister. So sometimes I have to put a blanket up between the car seats just so he can nap when I need him to.
Here I asked her to give me "two thumbs up" but I only got "two" :) Made me laugh anyway.
Here are a couple of pictures just because she is so darn cute. Plus this is another homemade dress she is in.
