little miss emma beaner

Miss Em rang in the new year sick with a upper respiratory cold and crabbier then hell! That little girl sure has a set of lungs. I know she doesn't feel well, but is all of the screaming really necessary?! Doesn't she realize it only makes things worse?! We had her to the doctor and she thought it was still viral, so we ride it out. Seems doctors now-a-days won't treat anything. Everything is "just a virus". When I was little, they treated everything. I hate seeing the girls sick and miserable. I hate taking the wait and see approach if they have already been sick for over a week!

I've decided that her new year's resolution is to be potty trained. Fingers are crossed that she will be by April. She will use the toilet, however, she doesn't care if her pants are wet and is perfectly content to go in her pull-up. Ugh.

We had a great Christmas. Emma got everything that she wanted and then some! Santa brought her a Dora bike (that she fell off of on Christmas morning) and a baby and pajamas. Both of which she told Santa she wanted. She also got lots of other fun things like a stuffed Mickey, Sleeping Beauty dress and pajamas, a Dora scooter, movies galore... Someone must have thought she had been a good girl this year :0) We had to wake the girls up at 10:00 on Christmas morning. They both came out into the living room in a sleepy haze. After staring at the tree for a bit, they realized there were new toys under it!
