Emmery is almost 3

So when people ask how old Emmery is, I tell them that she is two.  Then I say, "well.... she'll be 3 in March."  I HATE saying that!   It just seems like THREE is the turning point; she is not a baby anymore. That makes me sad. Ya know...  at 3 they should be potty trained, at 3 they should speak clearly, at 3 they should be mini adults!!!!  Noooo!  At 3 she is still my baby! A baby that I need to hug and kiss.  Snuggle. Every once in a while I go on my computer and look at her baby pictures.  Okay maybe not once in a while... maybe once a month. It just goes so fast.  Why didn't anyone tell me it goes THIS FAST???

Making her beaded necklace.  No help needed Mom!

This video was recorded just to remind me that it wasn't all rainbows and butterflies.  Emmery went through a very short (crossing my fingers!) tantrum period.  If something didn't go her way it was tantrum city!  She seems to have outgrown it, but she still has little emotional outbursts...
Marc is very aware of when he poops.  He says "poo-poo" while he's pooping!  So I thought I'd bring out the Elmo potty (the potty that Em used when she was learning) and put him on there when I thought he would need to poop.  Well it didn't go so well.  I took Marc's diaper off and set him on the potty and he freaked out.  Meanwhile, Emmery screamed and whined that she wanted to poop on the Elmo potty.  When I told her that I would not allow her to poop on the Elmo potty, this is the response I got...
