Emery is blossoming in to a very bright, lovely BIG girl. she loves to share, play together, and be creative. we can often hear her coming up with stories and scenarios for her toys as they go on adventures in their dollhouse, in the kitchen, on the stairs, and on the table. she loves to make pretend meals and always asks what she can make for us. she also loves to sing songs and if you stop singing a song, she asks: what are the rest of the words? say the rest of the words.
like a good three year old, emery loves to ask "why?" and asks lots of other questions. most of which are actually rather logical, some are silly.
after much hard work (and some time off from trying), emery has been potty trained for about a month. i really thought this day would never come. but she does a great job now. and my cloth diaper laundry routine has lightened significantly -- i'm not even sure what to do with all that free time now.
at Mrs. Diana's house, emery and her preschool buddy are working on learning their letters including the sounds of the letter and a special song for each letter - this week they're working on M. they're also working on numbers and they're up to 10. they've learned several bible verses along with bible stories too.
emery can sign the letters of her name, as well as A, B, F, and L. she can write an E, an M, and a Y. she can almost write her name. good thing we didn't name her something with more letters! :)
emery does really well with puzzles. once we've put one together a couple of times, she can do them all by herself. blake has taught her how to see what parts are missing: look, we need to find the cow's legs; here's the horse's tail - where does this one go? blake's so great at teaching -- well, we already knew that. yesterday, he taught emery the names of coins when she wanted to put money in her piggy bank.
generally emery has two silly counter comments to things you say to her. she either adds "not" to what you said or replaces what you said with a rhyming word. tonight was a good example of both. i sang to her: You are my joy! she countered, you are my NOT joy! so i said: you are my sad! you are my mad! and she said: you are my glad! you are my plaid! you are my dad!
emery's peach fuzz is finally long enough for full-head pigtails and a full-head ponytail (barely!). those have been a long time coming!
our little girl is adorably particular, and she likes things a certain way. we love her organizational skills and her love of order. we look forward to seeing all the new things she'll learn this year.
