Fun at Thanksgiving
Here's Emily playing with Papa and Rea. Papa tried to steal her ice cream, and Emily held her palm up and said, "no, Papa". Then she faked sleeping so Papa would leave her alone. Too funny! There's also a shot of an incredibly delicious, sinfully rich pumpkin cheesecake. Kevin couldn't finish his slice, which means it was REALLY rich!
Sad Note About the Wiggles
Sad, but true, Greg, the Yellow Wiggle, had to retire from The Wiggles at age 34. He was passing out while performing. His heart doesn't pump blood properly, poor guy. We'll miss him! :(
Life and Good Friends
Emily's speech therapy is going great!! She now says 2-word sentences regularly, and will try and read books to us, or tell us stories about her day. It takes careful listening, but we can usually make out what she's trying to say. One night she tried to sing "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star" to me, and couldn't remember some of the words, so she'd stop and giggle as if she was embarassed, then she'd try again. It was just adorable.
Emily is just getting interested in her Asian doll, so we call it "Maddie" (for Madeleine), and she does "Row Row Row Your Boat" with her and puts her in time out in the laundry room.
Here's a tribute to Emily and her buddy, Summer! The girls loved playing in Summer's toddler bed. They also enjoyed their first trip together to a wildlife refuge. They've been to see Elmo in Sesame Street Live, danced together at music in the park, attend storytime at the library together, and more. They're just having a ball!
Ok, and here's Emily doing one of her favorite things...sticking Play Doh over her nose. Dunno why, but hey, she's a toddler. Must be some kind of inside toddler joke!Take care,
Caroline
