What About Emeron

The other day Emeron was standing by my side as I was at the computer and said, “what about Emeron?” He was wondering why there were no pictures of Emeron on the computer screen, as he saw pictures of David, Jacob, Anna, Farrell and Abby, but no Emeron. So this post is your spotlight!

There is a little bit of me that feels sorry for Ems on occasion, especially when he says, “What about Emeron?” I remember a while back, my Mom was talking about who was giving whom Christmas presents and Emeron was by her side listening for his name. When he didn’t hear his name he said to Grandma, “What about Emeron?” She quickly said, “oh, yes, Karen gives Emeron!” On another occasion, Emeron was playing with his cousin Seth at his Grammy’s house and Seth was looking at a some of his own pictures and a look came over Emeron that has become a little too familiar lately saying, “What about Emeron?” Grammy quickly said, “let’s get Emeron's photo album” Ems beamed and enjoyed looking at page after page of pictures of himself. :)

• Emeron is a great kid! He has big dark eyes and dark lashes and light hair.
• He is the fourth child and four years old. He is happy and kind.
• Emeron is super smart! He is ready to read as he knows his letters, sounds and is blending well.
• He loves boy-ish stuff, he doesn’t want anything to do with pink. We have a pair of ‘magenta’ gloves and if he ever gets stuck with them, he always says to me, “these aren’t pink, they are red, huh!”
• He loves anything Star Wars and is known to hum the theme-song regularly.
• The first thing Emeron does when he wakes up is he will walk up to me and just stand and look at me until he gets a hug and hears me say “did you wake up?” after which he looks to see if Jacob is awake.
• Ems is a very thoughtful, caring and compassionate boy. When given a snack, he always makes sure he gets some for Jacob. (Maybe he found this was easier, rather than having Jacob snatch some - as Jacob would.)
• He loves to give his baby brother David kisses. He sings to him and loves the feedback of ‘coos’ and smiles.
• Em is very imaginative and loves to pretend. He can’t wait for Anna to get home from kindergarten so he can play ‘the other baby game’ with her.
• He also loves to dress up – with his favorite as BATMAN, a COWBOY or a BAD-GUY. Recently he likes to pretend with a ukulele and a microphone while listening to Ryan Shupe.

• There isn’t anyone who can get Emeron to laugh like Fare, he loves to rough-house and be silly with his older brother.
• When looking for comfort however, Emeron will often go to his older sister Abby, for she will help him with anything. She is always making his day.
• His all time favorite thing is to listen to stories Daddy tells. Daddy is Emeron’s #1 favorite person afterall.

How about that Ems? – a super long post all about YOU!! We love you Emeron!!
