Emma is a beautiful, outgoing 8-year-old girl. She has an energetic personality and a positive outlook on life. Emma loves befriending people and making them laugh. She is not the type of child who enjoys spending alone time with herself. Emma loves receiving positive attention from others. She is definitely a social extrovert.


Emma is a very unique individual. She has her own quirks and habits, and she's different than many girls her own age. For example, Emma has taken quite a fancy to Batman lately. Every night during story-time, Emma asks her daddy to read Batman comic books to her. She also asks her daddy to sing the Batman song to her. Emma also surprises me by what foods she likes and doesn't like. For example, how many girls say they like corn and mushrooms when you ask them what their favorite foods are? Or how many girls say they want pumpkin pie instead of a birthday cake on their birthday? Emma definitely marches to the beat of her own drum.


Emma is not afraid to conceal her emotions. If she's happy or sad she'll let you know straight off the bat. She always tries to make good choices, not only because she wants to please others around her, but also because she wants to be happy with herself. If she makes a mistake, she wants to fix it right away. She is not afraid to say she's sorry.

Emma is the most positive and joyful member of our family. We all love her very much, and we are grateful to have her with us.

Happy Birthday, Emma-Roo!
