Brr!!!

We have had a quite weekend at home. Yesterday, Bruce and I cleaned up the house before we proceeded to our usual Saturday ritual of watching whatever sporting event is on tv. Emerson proceeded to destroy the kitchen by pulling every piece of tupperware and can coozie (which Bruce now refers to as her toys) out of the drawers and string all over the house. That is not without first banging them on any hard surface within her reach.

She did learn some new words this weeks though. She now says Thank-you and Poop! We are very proud parents! She will however, NOT say these on command...in usual Emerson fashion she speaks them on her own terms. She is very close to walking but not quite there yet. The babysitters said they thought she was going to do it a couple of times this week but opted for the crawl instead...should be anyday now!!! Her personality is also getting much stronger. Emerson will not under any circumstances be bullied. Most of the kids her age at daycare are boys. Earlier this week, one of the boys stole her toy and walked off with it into the front room... not standing for that, Emerson quickly crawled behind him into the other room looked up at him, ripped the toy out of his hand and crawled back to her playspot in the living room. That a girl! Way to stick up for yourself!!!

Gotta run-- Em has somehow figured out how to open the dishwasher and is playing with a fork!!! Never a dull moment!!! I LOVE IT!
