While Grams was in town, we made lots of yummy dinners and even got out Anya's stroller to grocery "shop" for our food. Emmett asked that I write down his list, so here it is:
Apples (one a day keeps the doctor away)
Chicken Noodle Soup (his bf after being so sick)
Pizza (duh)
Indian hot dogs (??)
Dog candy
Hannah and Ryan (shocker)
Logs
Dinosaur toys
Chairs
Couch (mommy slipped him a five for that one)
Mommy's own bed (wow, now a ten)
Rainbow paint for daddy (this makes me laugh out loud)
Big Heart (awwwww)
The list only got better and better as time went on. We've got lots of shopping to do...see ya!

Happy St. Patty's Day
He's ready to dive in!
These are two are getting closer everyday and it simply warms our hearts.
The Emmett Show with Anya buying it and Millie not.

He Graduates from Ski School!
Emmett hits the lift chair and you can see he is blowing me a kiss. Aww...then he yelled, "take care, mommy". LOVE THIS BOY!
Emmett and his ski instructor, Adam, had a wonderful bond. Adam spoke highly of Emmett and told me the last day, "you have one determined child" and I said, "funny, that's the meaning of his name!" Determination.
He's ready to rawk this sport for a lifetime. He told me he loves it more than anything else he's done. Yahoooo!

Yogi Emmett
Mary Lane has a dance/yoga instructor come to class every other Thursday and the kids love it. Emmett and I love to share with each other what we're learning in our practice. After all, his mommy is really into yoga these days, so this brings me immense joy. Here's his high plank...
Three-legged dog...
Half hand stand...
Om.
Namaste.

When I Grow Up...
Yesterday, on the way to school, Emmett was looking out the car window at this major development going up in our neighborhood with dump trucks, dozers and diggers. Exciting for a 4 year old boy. He says to me in the most serious tone, "mommy, when I grow up, I want to be a St. Louis construction worker".
Today, we went to the zoo as it was sunny and glorious outside. Our first stop was the penguin exhibit as it is one of our favorites and the first one you see through the entrance. We spent a good 10-15 minutes looking at these black and white animals who were enjoying the frigid air and swimming in the water. I could tell he was studying them deep in thought. Emmett says to me, "mommy, when I grow up I want to be a penguin at the zoo."
All serious every time I hear his latest aspirations and always puts the biggest smile on my face. How about a construction worker in a penguin suit at the famous St. Louis Zoo?! Now we're talking.
