What a Day!

This photo was taken yesterday after a family lunch... And today these two very special people have undergone surgery. Little Em has had her tonsils out today - with no problems. A few classic Em comments like on the way to the hospital "Mummy I don't think I'll need the medicine in the mask to have my tonsils out - I think just Pamal will be ok!!" And then on the way home - "I'm all better now - can I go swimming!" Everything went very smoothly.. And she's not into the icecream & jelly thing - what did she request for her first non-tonsil meal - a happy meal from McDees of course!!

And my darling Mum is at this very minute having a total knee replacement. So blogging and praying all is going smoothly for her too! Mum is coming to stay at our nice flat bungalow after her operation - after about a five day hospital stint. So I'll be busy with 2 patients!!


The highlight of Em's day - getting her first Barbie doll from Grandma. I did catch her kissing her and telling her she loved her...

Emma's Five Greatest Loves Right Now!!

The other day Emma was sitting and drawing and started randomly listing some of the things she loves - so thought it was worth sharing!...

1) Singing - usually Abba - which has been a hit to Em now for over 6 months. She is amazing how she knows the words. She has also recently discovered humming!!

2) Playing: She stated she likes playing 'cafes & Mums & Dads'. Yesterday when Em came home from Kindy I had used a broom between two chairs to set up a shop with her dress up clothes. Complete with till - hot chocolate & chocolate fish! We had great fun taking turns being the shopper & shop keeper. She loves this kind of play now.

3) Dressing Up: Em has loved dressing up for ages now. She loves being let loose on her dress up box and it is so fun seeing the different things she comes up with! I'm so thankful for the $2 shop which has provided most of the must-haves in her box!

4) Dancing: I know I've used this image before - but dancing is still right up there for Em. I stopped taking her to the Pre-Dance class - but I think come next year we'll be back doing some form of dancing. She loves twirling - and quite often she'll ask me to be her Prince and to dance with her - how could I resist!!

5) Cooking: Wasn't sure what to say for number 5 when there are lots of things Em loves!! So I just asked her and she said cooking - more like baking! Oh well at least she didn't say watching TV which would rate in the top 5 if she had thought of it!!
