Lesson Learned: Collars are for Dogs

Recently, Emmett and Ruby have become the best of friends. He always wants her in his room whether its sleeping at night or making Quiet Time a little less lonely. A man's best friend and it's one of the reasons why we love Ruby so much.

To prevent her from waking him up while he is sleeping (very important!), we take off her collars at night, so they don't rattle around. The other morning, Emmett decided he wanted to wear her heavy one realizing it easily goes on, but not the other way around. We tugged once, twice then once or twice again with no success. The tears would not stop flowing as he was convinced it was permanently stuck around his neck. Well, it was and the only solution was serious, industrial-size pliers. Whew-what a relief!

Easter is Fun!

Emmett really loves this holiday for one reason only-chocolate! It helps that Gramma and Papa came in town, too. His one request in all honesty was to "hug Easter". Yes, they have always been on a first name basis.

Yes, he not only got the hug, but we got the pic to show it...

The brunch at CTC offered face painting fun, too. The spider was probably not the best idea as later in the week he experienced night terrors and spoke the next morning of spiders. Maybe Thomas the Train next year?

Easter Bunny left Emmett Mr. Potato Head, which is an all time classic. Emmett felt the need to dance like he does, so who knew he was also a dancing potato?

I love Anya in the back watching the egg hunt in full force...Emmett seems pleased he is getting all the eggs and someone else is not...

Mine all mine...

Gramma and Papa know much Emmett loves anything that flies and brought him a very cool helicopter. He loves it and really wants to go on one next time we're in Hawaii. Maybe in 15 years.

Without further a due, here are some precious pics of our favorite spring time holiday.

My Saint "Wewis" People

I had so much fun playing with my Grams. We got to eat ice cream and run around the Seattle Gymnastics Academy. I decided this trip I wanted to call her "Grammy" and I don't know why.

Aunt Julie is lots of fun. I was so happy to have her here that I asked her not to leave until I am 12. I was so lucky to spend time with mommy and Aunt Julie at the market. Aunt Julie even bought me hot chocolate with candy sprinkles on top! Wow-she can visit whenever she wants.

Papa is the best and frankly, I don't like sharing him with Anya. I am slowly getting used to it and if it makes Papa happy then I guess I'll be okay with it. Sigh.
