Emmie is such a social kiddo.  She absolutely adores making friends with kids her age.  And let me tell you, she could care less if they look different than her or act different than her.  She just really cares about people and making sure they are included in everything no matter what.  Her sweet friends seem to care about her too which is even more special.  So, of course, I had to get pictures of her friends before we flew out to California.  Those pictures were great for her to look at post surgery and helped us see some good Emmie smiles.   I just had to share those pics of her adorable friends.

C.  had a special birthday before we headed out too. It was a princess/super hero dress up party.  Naturally, Emmie had to come as Super Ems.  She loved meeting Arial!  And the cupcake frosting!

Seeing my girl love on others and want to have a good time with others is such a treat.  She seems to get just how and what a person needs.  Ya’ll, this kid is loud and boisterous and fun around her siblings.  C doesn’t like that and Emmie is never like that around her.  She can sit quietly with her but then turn around and yell and scream with her other friend, E.  I love watching this part of her personality grow.
