Emily Rose Update

Emily Rose is showing no signs of walking or talking. At three weeks she is right on schedule to be all that the cousins club could ask for. The seven who preceded her have all set the bar very high, but in conversation with her Papa, Emily Rose said she would soar with ease over the bar set by her older cousins and sister.

Emily's Dad is at work and her Mom is eating lunch at school with Rainey, so Papa and Rose have the high honor of baby sitting for an hour or two.

I don't think Emily cares if I inject a Rainey story here. A few days ago Stephen was playing with Rainey and they were pretending they were going camping. Stephen ask Rainey where they should camp. She replied without hesitation, "In the dam forest". Stephen was seeking clarification, so suggested, "the Dan forest". Rainey is never one to be detered so she strongly affirmed, "No, the dam forest. You know, where the beavers are."

Moral of the story is: communication is a delicate art. Don't rush is or you may jump to the wrong conclusion.
