Potty training! Yes you read that right - potty training. Emma decided about a month ago that she wanted to start potty training. She sat on the big potty three times that first day. The next day we went and bought her a potty. She actually used the potty two times that day! Ever since that day she uses pretty regularly. Some say it is too early, it won't last, she isn't old enough, or that she does not really know when she needs to potty. Well she pats her diaper, we go to the potty, and she potties. Maybe she won't completely get it right now but if she is willing to try then so are we.
Talking! She is saying more words and can associate more words with the meaning. She knows her eyes, ears, nose, hair, chin, tongue, cheek, belly, elbow, knee, foot, hands, toes, fingers, and heart. She can point people out in pictures and call some people by their names. She knows some of her colors and some days everything is yellow while other days everything is purple. It is so fun to see her learning!
Songs! She does the itsy bitsy spider and loves to dance and clap to music. She started marching around the house and her teacher said they do the ants go marching to and from lunch. She picks up on so much!
Playing. She loves to climb, crawl, jump, swing, and play. We recently got a swing set for her and she loves to climb up the ladder. She loves to look at her books, point out things when you ask her, and will talk while looking at the book like she is reading it to you.
It is all going by so fast and I know it will not be long before I miss these days. She is such a smart, happy, healthy, and wonderful child. We are so lucky to have been given this precious gift.
With Christmas coming up I am so excited to see how she reacts. I know she will have a blast and that is the real happiness at Christmas. We have already given her some of her presents and can't wait to see what Santa brings her. Before much longer Betty Lou her elf will return and I am sure that will bring lots if fun as well.
Some pictures of all of this fun!
