Here are a few moments from our day...
We purchased a placemat for Emma today. She is now sitting at the table with us and has been making quite a mess of the table, so we went on an excursion to Target today to get a special placemat. She was able to use it for lunch and after her nap she brought it into the kitchen and said something that I did not understand and I agreed (I know better than that). A few minutes later she was really quiet and I went to check on her. She had taken her placemat to use with her little people. She set up the table and chairs on the mat and was quietly feeding them dinner.
As I was preparing dinner tonight, Emma asked to put on her apron like Mommy and dug out her play butcher knife and asked to get up on the counter to help. She picked up a potato and started "slicing". A very sweet moment. She was confused that her knife was not doing what mine was but she enjoyed "helping". I let her do the rinsing and that was all she needed!
Emma had her first corn on the cob experience this evening. She LOVED it. She went through one cob and asked for more. Very fun!
Emma has now mastered going potty by herself. Since I am unable to lift her up on the potty, we spent the first few days home teaching her how to get on the potty with a stool. True to Emma's pattern, she picked it up right away and now does not want any help at all. What a nice gift!
Uncle Andrew and his niece and nephew. What a treat that they didn't have to fight for his attention during this trip!
Emma and Jonah playing together.
Emma has finally figured out how to pose for the camera and how to smile. Now she asks for her picture to be taken all day long.
Emma took Jonah for a wagon ride. She had enough when she realized how slow it meant they had to go - she and daddy run around the circle in the wagon.
