Emory is at an age where she can be super funny, super sweet, and super naughty all in the same minute. Her new silly thing to do is walk backwards. I am not sure where this idea came from but she thinks it is hysterical to walk backwards. She also learned the phrase "freeze hold it right there" from one of the little boys at Ms. Betty's. So now when she does not want you to do something she says, "freeze hold it right there."
She loves to sing and her favorite songs right now are, The wheels on the bus, This little light of mine, He's got the whole world in his hands, and Joy joy down in my heart. She knows her numbers 1-10, recognizes her name in print, can say a-d of the ABCs, and can identify some colors. She tends to still be stubborn with her colors because she wants every color to be purple. It use to be yellow, but purple is her new favorite color.
She is scared of thunder and tends to get nervous when the "naughty" characters in a movie are being bad. She is really getting into Disney movies and her current favorites are, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and 101 Dalmatians. She also likes Annie. Speaking of The Little Mermaid, she now loves mermaids and pretends to be one daily. The other night I had to make her a tail to wear so she could be a mermaid and swim on top of the coffee table.
She loves horses, riding her "motorcycle" aka a tricycle, and swimming in her little pool. Her new favorite game to play is hide-n-seek and she is still in love with puzzles and coloring. She still loves tutu's and playing dress up, but is just as happy digging in the dirt. She loves "putting" on make-up with me and has thrown the occasional fit because I will not take the lid off "her" mascara. She's two and knows where mascara goes. ha! She is always coming up with something out of the blue, like this afternoon when she told her Daddy she wanted to go to the store and buy some tools!
