Emily is still into a lot of the old favorites: books (she'll "read" to herself now too), rocks, bow-bows, etc., as well as some new things. She's becoming very verbal, so lots of her new interests have Emi-words to go with them. We keep meaning to write a list of all her words, but I think there are too many now.
"On! On!"
Lately Emily has been bringing me things to put on her. Usually her finger puppets, or a shirt she has dragged out of the bin of workout clothes that lives on the floor of my closet, or a jacket we've left lying around. Or her ladybug costume from Halloween. Here she is wearing Daddy's jacket.
"Hewp"
[or "Hauwp" ? I can't decide how to spell it, but it's Emily's word for "help"]
She's learning to ask my for help when she can't do something on her own. But more often, she wants to "hewp" me. She has to have her hand on the handle of the broom or the shopping cart. She also likes to mimic what we are doing. She'll run her hand along the wall when she sees me painting, or join Alasdair in stretching after a run.
"Ide"
[Outside]
None of us can get enough of looking out the big windows into the field behind our house. The look & colors keep changing, and it's so pretty. Emily spends a lot of time looking out & pointing & yelling "neighhh!" [at the horses next door] or "muhn" [moon]. We also try to get out regularly to the trails in those woods.
sooooo pretty!
