Emma Noel

I have had the oppurtunity to be able to watch this little princess grow since she was about 2 1/2 years old & now she's an impressive little 1st grader (7 1/2!) I don't think I would call watching Emma a "job" - more like something that is so rewarding and fun that I treasure all the times spent at this so called "job." I am so proud of my little Emma. She is excelling in 1st grade like crazy - reading books of all sorts (definitely can read chapter books), getting an S+ (not missing a single spelling word) on her spelling tests for as many weeks as I can remember, getting down all her + and - math, but all while having fun & making tons of friends. Each week Miss Em goes to singing lessons and gymnastics, and until recently was also swimming twice a week. She is a very busy girl & someone who tries hard in everything she does. Her dedication and motivation definitely comes from her parents - her mom is the sweetest, most campassionate, hardworking mother I have ever come across. Being a surgeon and working over 8 hrs each day isn't easy - but she works through it & cares and love her daughter so much. Emma was born on Christmas Eve - hence her middle name Noel - and her mom tells her that she was her miracle that God sent. I truly do believe that Emma is a miracle that was placed in my life also. I have enjoyed every second of watching her grow up & it has made me so excited to have children someday. I think the Heavenly Father sent her to prepare me and also to help me learn patience haha :)

Last Wednesday Emma lost her 2nd tooth!!! How exciting huh?! We were about to go to bed so I was starting to floss her teeth & she pointed out how loose it was... of course being the person I am - I said it was time for that little tooth to come out!!! So we sat on the counter and wiggled & twisted it until it popped out. She was so proud of herself because she pulled it herself & was very brave! I was so excited to be able to do this with her but that's probably because of my love for dentistry.. don't know how many people get excited over pulling a tooth. haha!  Here's some pictures I took right after we put her tooth under the pillow for the tooth fairy.


Thumbs up for being brave; I (eye) <3 you; & a giant WOW!



Gosh I love this little girl!!! Isn't she the cutest thing ever :)
