I Want to Speak to You:

Emma's obsessed with Dora the Explorer. Personally I find the show a little obnoxious and loud, but Emma really enjoys the fascinating plots, realistic events, and character development, not to mention the bilingual education.

All in all the show has motivated her to practice more words. Emma's top 5 favorite words:

1. Milk 'mil, mil'

2. Backpack 'pac pac'

3. Food 'foo'

4. Daddy 'daaee'

5. Grandpa 'pa pa'

She tends to zone out.

A Happy Working SONG:

We'll keep singing without fail

Otherwise we'd spoil it

Hosing down the garbage pail

And scrubbing up the toilet

Ooh!

Food for thought, happy Thursday everybody.

Emma's potential is wide open. I couldn't be happier with how she has added to our little family. I feel so blessed.

Day 27: What They Say

Yay for MILK!
