This girl is now fully in love with the iPad. She's watched her brother and sort of figured it out (I'm sure in her mind she totally has it figured out.)
Video - Emmalyn on the iPad. It's crazy to watch her navigate and change her mind on what she wants to do.
Sharing. What a nice thing.
Emmalyn playing with the baby doll at Brittany's
Suckers after swimming lessons
Boxes are the best toys ever
After the fun we had playing tennis on vacation, I thought we should do that some more so we all got tennis rackets and finally made it to a court!
Maxwell had a fun but I wish I knew how to coach him how to really hit the ball. He struggles with the hand/eye coordination required to hit the ball. He really really really wanted to hit it over the net but couldn't get the hang of it.
Max had to fill out a paper about him and his family. He wrote the few things that he knew how to.
My cute son, happily sitting on the rug at school. He's definitely happy to be back in school. He goes 5 days a week this time instead of the 3 days a week he went last year.
Max's school put on a picnic for students and families to celebrate being back in school.
Never give toddlers cheetos - what a mess!!!
Max and his teacher Ms. Cynthia (we stayed in the same class as last year - Groundhogs)
Maxwell and his new asst. teacher - Ms. Patty
Max didn't want to go down the slide but Emmalyn sure did!
coming down - wheeee
Made it to the bottom! She loves slides!
Emmalyn's independence is really growing. She's good eating thing like yogurt with her spoon. She walks so fast! AND (yuck) she has started throwing fits that are more fitting for a 2 year old than a toddler who is not even 18 months old yet. She is sneaky and will slyly grab remote or cereal and then sneak away. Giggles with joy when she's going to nurse, which I love - she's currently nursing in the morning and at night.
Emmalyn is so drooly and now it seems to be causing a rash on her face. It just drips off of her. Gross! She loves the books "bubbles bubbles", "snuggle puppy", and "hickory dickey dock". She can climb up the steps and get into Maxwell's bed,no problem. She can also climb onto the couch by herself. This girl goes everywhere now!
She says new words all the time like "back pack". She has the cutest voice especially in the morning... When having a conversation she talks really quietly in a low voice. If you say "one" she will say "two". She says "thank you Momma" all the time and will say "bless you" when you sneeze. She sings, a lot!
She likes to sit in chairs by herself and loves to be outside. She's great at taking directions.
Maxwell has said some things that just MUST be documented. :)
- He said to Peter, "why is your hair so small?"
- When I was trying to get him to hurry up on the potty and poop faster he said, "my poop goes slow, did you know that?"
- "Emmalyn wants the hair out of her eyes"
- "When I'm an adult, I'm going to have a beard like you" (said to Peter)
He can count to 29 but then gets stuck. He knows how to count by 10s to 100 but doesn't yet know how to do it by 1s. :)
A sad thing happened this week. Maxwell said he was too big to lay across bed (too long) so he switched his pillow and put it at the head of his bed and laid normally on his bed. :( Big kid.
