Benjamin is big enough to wear the size 2/3 Sunbeam shirt. This shirt has been passed down from Rebekah to Emma and now Benjamin. Emma was at first sad to see her old shirt in Ben's drawer, but quickly changed her feelings to excitement that he was getting so big. She wanted him to wear it right away. Afterwards, she and Ben went out to the living room to play. She set up a couple of chairs and they sang songs and pretended to listen and interact with a teacher. She came back into my room and proudly announced that she was helping Ben learn how to be a Sunbeam.
Another moment involving Emma...I was playing a game on the computer when Emma came into the room and asked if I could get a certain stuffed animal down from the pet net (a little hammock thingy) in her room. Rebekah was playing on the top bunkbed and could easily reach the toy so I asked her to grab it, which she happily did. After a few minutes Emma was back to ask if she could have all of her stuffed animals down to play with. I told her to go ask her sister really nicely to get them down for her. From my room, I listened to her ask "Rebekah, mom asks you to super pretty pretty please with 100 cherries on top of purple to get my animals down." Rebekah again very nicely said "Sure." Emma then exclaimed with great glee "Hooray for my evil plan!" What a goose! The "evil" part of her plan was to tell Rebekah that I wanted Emma's animals down instead of it just being Emma's request. I laughed for a while about that one.

So sweet about how Emma was helping Ben to become a Sunbeam, I can just picture the two of them "playing Primary". I did have to chuckle at the "pretty please with 100 cherries", did she ever start at 1 or 2 or is that just a product of being one of the younger kids? :) She is pretty silly little goose, but that is what makes her Emma in all her fabulous!!
