Fun Things

Emry is at that age when nearly every day is an exploration into something new. From seeing something she hasn’t seen before, to learning to point so she can share that thing to chattering a hundred “words” a minute trying to tell us about that thing. And all these new things are fun, and interesting, and exciting to her. It’s rather sad that one day she will look upon them as mundane, ordinary and even a chore.

Like brushing our teeth. Oh, how we love to brush our two teeth! We love it so much, we cry in protest when Mama finally takes away the toothbrush…

We also know where our toes are. We have been watching exercise videos from the time we were born. (And hearing them in the womb…) Mama is forever bouncing, running, pushing and pulling at something. So, naturally, we know how to touch our toes with Mama when she’s stretching. Funny, but it doesn’t take as much effort as Mama seems to give it.

The funnest thing is how much we understand words now. We know where our “duck” is or our “baby”. We say “Papa” (although, interestingly, always in a whisper). And we know “toes”, “nose” and “hands”. We also know “Katy”. I don’t know why for we only read this book once and we knew “Katy”. Every time Mama asks where Katy is, we point at her. We might have to get a copy of Katy for our own.

And this week we licked beaters for the first time! Mama made cupcakes to take to a family that just had a new baby. At first, we weren’t sure what to do with the beater…but we quickly learned! (And, thus, made a mess. Yea!)
