Poster Girl

May 19, 2010 by Adam in Emma

Emma was given a school project on the Amur Leopard a couple weeks ago, in preparation for her upcoming zoo trip. Jamie helped her research, writing notes down on a piece of paper. Starting this last weekend, Emma's been enthusiastically making her poster, directing me to find certain pictures and writing notes underneath each one. It's impressive to see her so self-motivated. I've assisted when directed to, but otherwise it's all hers, typos and all.

Emma's Song

May 15, 2010 by Adam in Emma

Emma's asking me to write down a song she's making up in the bath:

Open my eyes, I feel the sun in my hair.

And I like going fast and I can't go where

And I'm late for my train.

Sometimes I can't realize

I'm standing right here in the world

The place I want to go

Is with you

Is the one I want to be with

But I can't find a place in my heart to fit you in

After twenty days

And I'm going all up in your life

And I'm feeling something new

That you should be with me all the time

And I just can't get loose

And I just came through another weekend

And another day until our date

It's seven in the morning

I just woke up and I'm running late for my second date

And I just can't get in my car

I have to do stuff fast now

Here's a hint for you to stay

Just with me, that's all I need

That's all I need.

You to do.  You to do.
