It's been nearly a month since I gave an update on Emma. Her vocabulary skills just keep getting better. She tries to say just about anything I do. I was getting changed after work and Emma found some old computer parts tucked away in my closet. "What's this for?" she asked. "Oh, that's for a CD-ROM drive." "CD-ROM drive," she replied in a cute little voice.

Last night she directed the play activities, having me pull out the big indoor tent and then pretend to be a monster. Sam was told to go inside and then I held Emma and terrorized the boy, who had a great time. Later Emma and I ran back and forth in the dark, holding a flashlight, while Sam chased us making monster noises.

Emma also seems to share my affinity for coffee. She'll look at my cup and say "Coffee?" and then "Try it?"



Emma seems better today

Emma seems better today. Jamie brought her down before I left to work and I got to visit with her a little before I left. She loves looking at my old bug collection from graduate school, picking up the vials of alcohol with strange creatures floating in them. She'd put in her cute voice and say "Look? Worm. Cute." Sometimes she'd even give them little kisses.

She was also looking at my work shoes which I keep by the back door. "Work shoes," Emma said as she picked them up. "Yep, I've got to go to work today." She made a frown and pleaded, "No work day." Fortunately some cocoa and a show distracted her long enough for me to slip away.



Emma's sick again, running a fever of 102 degrees

Emma's sick again, running a fever of 102 degrees.

Last night she had a really hard time sleeping, rolling around and calling for Jamie and I. This morning she related her dreams, which were elaborate and involved sharks. It's fairly hard to understand, however, as she'll say lots of one or two words in confusing chunks: "Sharks." "Bonk." "Head." As well as semi-understandable phrases.

Sadly I'm feeling a bit warm and tired. I suspect it'll be pizza and movie night for everyone.
