Whew! I'm finding it hard to come up with a neat/original post for tonight, but I find myself just enjoying sitting and staring blankly into space. It's peaceful:)
Seriously, chasing after Emma and keeping her from getting into things, eating things, breaking things, and answering all her, "Mom!"s is enough to send me to bed at 9 o'clock lately;P And she's not even a very naughty girl, just busy! I don't know how some mom's with multiple young ones do it!:)
Despite the fatigue, we really are enjoying this phase with Emma as she learns new things hourly and is starting to repeat words left and right! I don't even know where to start with new words she says! Ball, hat, peas (please), open, Toby (mom's dog), Abby (mom's horse), duck, the list could go on.....
Her attention to detail and hand-eye coordination is amazing! She watches you open something, and she can immediately do it too. You show her how to put little people in their cars, and she does it exactly right right away. Each person has their own place they sit, animals have their own place in the barn, and she loves taking each and every item out of her purse (or mine) and then putting them each back in. She will read books front to back and then back to front over and over again; trying to repeat everything you pointed out on each page.
But her old favorites; bananas, Elmo, and her golf clubs remain unchanged:) And Mommy is still #1 on the list; she seriously doesn't want ANYONE ELSE when I'm in the room. Not Daddy, Nana, Auntie, anyone. If I leave, she's fine.... It's as exhausting as the running around!:) And as frustrating as it can be sometimes when I feel I haven't accomplished a single thing in a day- I can be gone from her for just a few hours and I'm already missing her like crazy!!! Oh motherhood, what did I do before you?:-D
Have a good night everyone!
