Emma talks
so well nowadays. She really enjoys saying as many words as possible to
describe something or to tell you something.
She tells us stories and her imagination is growing every day.
Emma loves
to shower her brother with hugs and kisses. We have had to teach her boundaries
with her brother and she is not the biggest fan of them. She thinks he always
wants her to kiss and hug him.
Emma got a
cold soon after we arrived back in Kenya which made it more difficult for her
to sleep. After about a week, she
finally started to sleep through the night again which meant we got more sleep J
She greatly
enjoyed seeing all her friends at church.
They all loved touching her hair since it has grown so much.
When we
first arrived back at our house we kept the back door open to let the sun shine
in. Emma said “Ahh, my eyes! We need to
shut the door! It’s too sunny!” I guess she was used to the cloudy/winter
weather back in the states J
Emma loves
to play Go Fish.
She was
happy to be reunited with her pool.
Emma has
become a very picky eater. We are in the process of her learning when we make
something for dinner that is what is for dinner. The joys of parenting a toddler J
The other
day she told me she was going to eat healthy and teach her animals and friends
to eat healthy. Once dinner was ready
(chicken and veggies) she said she did not want to eat the food. I told her it
was healthy food and that she said she only wanted to eat healthy food. Her response, “Oh, well, I can just eat my
goldfish.”
For some
reason she hates taking a bath because she does not like getting her hair
washed. I am not sure when this fear arose because she used to love taking a
bath…
Emma is a
big helper. She likes to help cook
meals, get things for her brother, and help with laundry.
She would
live in her jammies if we let her.
The other
day she was playing on a playground singing “How Far I’ll Go” from the new
movie Moana at the top of her lungs. She did not care at all that there were
probably 6 other families around watching her.
Emma has a
fear of flies. It’s quite funny. One day
I will try to get her reaction on camera.
Emma has
started working out with me again. She
takes a water break about every 2 minutes J
There are
several times Emma has said something and I try to remind myself to write it
down but never do. She is quite witty
and has a super fun personality. She
loves to play pretend, sing, have dance parties, read books, eat goldfish, and
play in the water.
Fun Things
We Did This Month:
We flew back
to Kenya as a family of four and Emma was awesome on both of the 9 hour
flights. She was very content watching movies and playing the games.
We got to
stay with our friends Sonia and Sonji while in Nairobi one night. Emma loves to
visit their house. She got to try
deviled eggs for the first time and loved them!
