Random/playing catch up

*Macie has two weeks of school under her belt, and she's doing AWESOME.  We see some pretty significant changes in her already, and I couldn't be more happy with her progress.
*She rides the bus to and from school with no issues.  In fact- when I get her ready to go in the morning and tell her the bus is here, she runs to the door most mornings.
*I may or may not stare out the window around 1:30 everyday, and get super excited when I see the bus round the corner.  She doesn't tell me with words how her day was- I see it in her eyes, and her smile.
*I most certainly DID NOT drive past the school the other day and try to catch a glimpse of my big girl getting on the bus to come home.  I just happened to be driving by the school on my way home.
*I miss her when she's gone, but I know that me missing her means she is growing and learning so many new things everyday!
*Emma and I have been able to spend some serious quality one on one time together while Macie is at school.  We have done some shopping, gone for walks, visited Grandma and Papa a few times!
*As I sit here typing Emma and Macie are playing....TOGETHER!  I hear Emma saying "Hi Cee Cee"- ADORABLE.
*Emma can count up to five.  Sometimes she misses one, and four, but she can do it. She also is starting to say her ABC's- she got up to E a little bit ago.  She knows where here hair, head, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, belly button, and toes are.  She knows what kitties, sheep, cows, ducks, dogs, and horses say.
*She is saying some three word sentences- "I got it!", "Cee Cee, get down!", "go poo potty.".  She says "tanks" when you give her something.  There are so many more things she is saying right now that I can't keep up with it all.
*It does make me a little sad that she is flying past Macie developmentally.  I see Macie struggle everyday with communicating, and it comes so easily to Emma.  I'm hoping that with school, and watching/listening to Emma that she will be talking soon!
That's all I have for now.  It took me a good couple of hours to type just that!
