Emma is now
forming more and more sentences that actually make sense. Her vocabulary is
expanding daily in both English and Swahili. She very much enjoys playing with
her friends at church and loves when they come over to play at the house. Emma is very
curious about life and loves learning new things. Here are a few fun things
from this month J
I don’t have
to worry about telling people I am pregnant anymore because Emma is doing a
great job at it for me. She puts her hands on my belly and says really loud
where everyone can hear ‘momma, the baby is in there!’ Then tries to explain
that there is a baby in her belly too…
Emma has
started to sing along to some of her favorite TV shows like Peppa Pig and
Daniel Tiger. It’s super cute.
When we go
on family walks she prefers to not be held anymore but to walk herself. She
will say “Emma can carry herself” or “Emma can walk”
She is in
love with muffins.
Emma let me braid her hair for the first time!
Her lamb and
two puppy stuffed animals are her favorite.
If you ask
her how old she is she says three.
She loves
giving us hugs and telling us she loves us. I hope she never out-grows this.
Emma will
wrap her arms around my belly and then say she is hugging the baby then gives it
kisses and say “oh baby, I love you!”
Her favorite
time of day is bath time…little fish.
When she wakes
up from her nap and we ask her if she had a good nap she responds with “Yes, I
have good nap with my animals in my bed.”
Emma always
has a song in her heart and sings all the time.
We tried
potty training this month….Emma went potty on the big girl toilet once and we
all celebrated by eating some chocolate.
Emma loves
corn….like really loves corn.
Emma is now
using the word ‘maybe.’ I asked her if her lamb was in her bed after her nap
and she responded ‘maybe.’
She loves to
sing prayers before we eat a meal :)
Fun Things We Did This Month:
Our pastor’s
daughter has started coming down to watch Emma a few afternoons a week so Mark
and I can get some work done. Emma is still warming up to having Sharleen
around but is adjusting pretty well.
We visited a
village school about an hour away from where we live and while there Emma thought
it was so funny to wave at the kids and see their reaction. However, if they
got too close and touched her she would freak out J
Our friends
Beatrice Williamson and her cousin Velma came to visit this month. Emma loved having Velma around to play with
her for 3 whole days.
Tot School June/July:
We are
working back into a routine of Tot School.
We have been doing small things lately with crafts, exploring in the
Kitchen, and outside activities. We are focusing on her learning her colors
now. She can match them well but still mixes up the names. Emma painted her first picture on a canvas.
She LOVED it. Since she is getting more interested in butterflies we did a
little lesson and craft about how caterpillars turn into butterflies. She
enjoyed the craft but I am pretty sure she still thinks it’s how the
caterpillar makes itself a little home then comes out with wings J
