What?

There is no doubt that the minds of children are often a mystery, and without the language or expressions to elaborate fully it is a fun game to wonder what Emma is thinking! For the most part Emma is a pretty placid, quiet girl though increasingly more verbal.

Today we were out shopping with friends, so Emma had lunch a bit later at noon and then Daddy came home for lunch before she went to bed. Normally she'd have been asleep on the drive home, let alone still going after food, but not today!

After watching her amuse herself (and us) in the kitchen for several minutes I grabbed the camera to capture one of those great times of random crazy behavior! (The reason that she hangs out in the doorway is that she would dearly love to go outside and loiters there int he hope someone will take pity and take her out!



This behavior is quite a departure from how she is first thing in the morning. Scott took this video when they got up today - she's probably watching a cartoon on the TV! (And yes, that's two mornings in a row I've slept until 7am!!)


Earlier this week Emma during Emma's weekly occupational therapy session Melissa brought the bubbles out again. We think Emma likes them, she doesn't really try to pop them, just watches them float! She does seem more interested in generating the bubbles, as you can see here.

While she is not able to make the pout you or I have when we blow on something, the movement in her mouth and tongue shows incredible development. While it's not easy, it is possible to blow without moving your top lip, so perhaps one day she'll be able to blow bubbles. I hope so.

Bless her heart - she wants to go so badly! You just wait - when Emma learns she can walk anywhere she wants you two are going to have your hands full - you'll be chasing her everywhere, lol!! It'll be hectic, but it'll be fun :)

Love,
Jen

PS - I wanted to let you know that we won't be able to make it to the CHOP reunion this year. If you are able to go - Have Fun!!

From her last scene in the doorway it looks like you have a Thespian on your hands....or maybe a hip-hop dancer.
