Emma is getting so cute, well she always was cute but each time I see her she is growing and doing more and more things. Her favorite saying now is “ah oh” She picked my silk flowers from the bird house, brought them to me and said “ah oh”. She wet her little panties and said “ah oh”. She dropped her lunch down to the dog and said “ah oh” She does it so cute.

Emma loves talking on the phone. She has found a friend who will listen for a while why she jabbers on the phone… it is the recording saying “the number you have reached is not in service”. Now if we can just get her to talk to us while we are on the phone with her!
She has found how well temper tantrums work now. She tries them anyway. The other night she wanted to go outside and Grandpa took her out for a little while. When he tried to get her back in she got mad and stomped her feet saying “Nooo” Grandpa won that argument after a bit. He just picked her up and brought her in.

She has picked up a bad habit of hitting. I don’t know if she does it to see how we react, if she does it because she thinks it is a game or if she does it because she is mad or bored. She hit grandpa the other night and he held her hand and said “Don’t hit, that isn’t nice” then ignored her. She looked down like she was upset and had that puppy dog look. Then she would hit him again and they would go through it all over. His ignoring her after saying that really bothered her I think. I always tell her the same thing, “don’t hit, it isn’t nice” but I also add “I like kisses better” and give her a kiss. I think she was looking for that with grandpa, but he didn’t do it like I do. Now if she hits me while she is mad, I put her down and turn my back to her telling her “I am not going to hold you if you hit” This really bothers her. She gets really upset that grandma won’t hold her. She is getting better about it, so maybe she is getting out of that stage.

Emma got 2 new fish, just little gold fish from Walmart. Brianna tells her that they are fish but she calls them “dada nana” I told Brianna that she must have named them that. It is really cute, I say “Emma how are the fish? How is dada nana?” She laughs and says “dada nana” She is so cute.

This morning I was in the shower when they came over. I could hear her yelling for me through the door. Then she started telling me something in that odd language she uses “yeng yeong yeng…” I said “is that right?” and she said “no” then went on to tell me more, just giggling like it was the best story ever. I said “oh you don’t say” and she just laughed.
She also loves playing the piano and now when she does she gets to singing along with it. Today she stood up on the piano bench and danced while singing and playing, then sat back down and just laughed before singing a more “quieter” song. I do believe she will be a great entertainer when she gets older. Heaven knows she is a great entertainer right now!
