I am currently working on potty training with Emma. Sometimes it's like we take 1 step forward and 2 steps back with the whole process. At times she seems like she is ready, but lately she doesn't seem interested at all. I made her a Potty Time sticker chart. If she uses the potty she gets to put a sticker on her chart. I started this a week ago, and so far she has one sticker on there. We are hoping for more progress this week.
Emma can talk very well. We can actually have conversations with her. When she comes home from daycare I always ask her about her day and she can tell me a lot about it. For example, I asked her what she did yesterday and she said, "Draw monster on chalkboard. Roar! Play outside and build sand castle. Castle broke, build new one." I can't believe how smart she is! :)
Emma is my little artist. She loves to draw, colour, paint and sculpt with play dough. I couldn't believe it the first time one of the ladies at the day care showed me a picture that Emma had drawn a few months ago. It was a happy face. It had two eyes, a nose, and a smile! It was the type of drawing you wouldn't expect a two year old to do. She has also drawn penguins and attempted her name. She often draws rain drops and rivers.
Other interests of Emma's include playing the keyboard and drums, and listening to her grandpa Ron play guitar over Skype.
Emma has her days though when nothing makes her happy. She can be quite grumpy sometimes. It can get pretty frustrating for both of us. This morning she was happy though. She even let me put little braids in her hair, it's getting so long! :) She had her first hair cut a few months ago. We called it the "Dora Haircut" because it looked exactly like Dora's.
