Emily Goes to Joes

As I type, I am watching Emily cross the street for the first time to ask a friend to play. She stood at our curb for awhile, I wasn't sure if she was going to go through with it.

She's there now. Will she ring the bell??

The door just opened and out ran their giant dog. Brianna stepped out and gave Emily a hug (Brianna is our babysitter).

She is standing in the doorway

Out comes Joe!!!

Scratch that, back in goes Joe.

Must have needed shoes. They are both running around the yard now.

THIS IS A HUGE moment for me as a parent. I wish Emily would stop growing up but apparently there's no stopping her. :)
