Ida B

January 29, 2010 by Adam in Emma

Emma is reading Ida B, a book picked from her school library.  It's a chapter book, which she's doing amazingly well with. Here's Emma's description of the book:

It's about a girl that makes new inventions and possibly saves the world.  She's going to kindergarden.

Needless to say, I think it's very cool that she's gotten into reading so much.

Crest Drive Musical

January 21, 2010 by Adam in Emma

Emma put on her Safety Kids musical last night, entertaining the massed parents with songs about avoiding child predators and the like. As long as I didn't think too much about the lyrics it seemed quite cheery. Since she was nervous about getting up in front of people, I was proud of her for showing up and singing with the rest of the class. She's gotten much better in recent years.

Loose Tooth

January 09, 2010 by Adam in Emma

I came home tonight and Emma excitedly informed me that she got her first loose tooth.  She got it during school, saying that it hurt a little and she pushed it and it started to wiggle.  She can't wait to show Sadie and Greg tomorrow.

Update From Emma

(this was spoken by Emma and transcribed by me)

I'm really excited that mom's coming home tomorrow.  I hope she brings back lots of treasure and prizes.  I hope she's safe and snug so she can be with me for the rest of the day.  I've been waiting for all weekend.  So, I'm pretty sure that she'll be back at a safe time for us to play.  Let's go to Adam . . .

(and the rest is from me)

We had a fairly exciting day today, with people over and playing from dawn to dusk.  Now Emma's worn out and ready for bed.
