Go Cubs!

So good news! Sarah did such a good job at gymnastics on Tuesday!! All the way there we had our little talk about how she was going to go by herself with Miss Barbara and that mommy was going to wait for her. And then when Miss Barbara came to get her, she cried as usual. But she stopped almost immediately and went through the whole class without me! I was so excited. We went to McDonalds to celebrate.

Sarah LOVES baseball. She will come home and out of the blue tell me she wants to watch baseball. The other night I had to watch a stupid Cardinals game because Sarah wanted to watch baseball and that was the only game on. We took her to a Dans game the other night and she had a great time, especially playing with Grandpa Jim. We went to another game last night and she kept talking about how she wanted to watch baseball with Grandpa. But then she was really disappointed when the game got rained out, so we went home and watched the Red Sox until bed time. If you ask her who her favorite baseball team is, she shouts "Go Cubs!" She can also say Fukudome better than most adults - and saying Fukudome makes Emily giggle.

I dont know what her deal is, but she is going through a phase where she is really scared of imaginary stuff. The other morning she completely FREAKED OUT and told me a bear was coming. She was so scared she was shaking and screaming. It even scared me. And now she is scared to go to bed because either a monster, a bear, a bunny or a turtle is going to get her. I think she must be having nightmares or something - who is scared of a bunny?

Emily is doing well too. Just the same old happy baby. She eats, sleeps, plays and poops. She is healthy and adorable.

We have a busy weekend ahead of us. Marcie's tomorrow for the fourth and then tomorrow night I get to see Theresa (and I miss her like CRAZY so I cant wait). Saturday we are going to our friends the Holleman's for a cookout and then maybe to a Dans game that night depending on how tired everyone is. Sunday we might go to Doug and Sandy's, but I am not sure. I better find some time to start making baby shower decorations though ...
