Emma has been spending some time in the 2-year old room lately at daycare whenever they need to even out the student-teacher ratios. Whenever she hangs out with the "big" kids, she usually comes home with a new skill. Today was one of those days. When she came home, it seemed like she grew up from when we saw her this morning! She even looked older!
We were eating pizza for dinner and Emma asked for cheese. I pointed out that there was cheese on the pizza. She shook her head no. I got out a slice of cheese from the refridgerator and asked if she wanted it. Again the answer was no. She then seemed to mumble something before she said cheese while making a funny motion with her hands. All of a sudden it dawned on me what she wanted. I asked if she wanted sprinkle cheese and she emphatically said Yes! and was so happy that I figured out what she wanted. Over the weekend, I put some parmesean cheese on pasta and Emma discovered that she liked it as well. (Prior to this, she was not a fan.) She remembered and thought she would like it on her pizza. :)
After dinner, Emma got down from her highchair and said a whole sentence. In Emma-speak, it sounded like, "da dee o dames mumble Daddy." Translated: I want to play video games with Daddy. It was adorable. She kept repeating it to ensure that we knew what she wanted. She was calm the whole time and made sure to get her point across until Daddy was ready to play video games with her. I'm pretty sure it melted Daddy's heart to hear her say it.
On another note: Unfortunately, Emma is going through another, "I hate bath" phase. Bathtime has been rather painful for the past 2 weeks. For some reason, she has decided that she doesn't like getting her hair wet. Hair washing is not really optional because she gets food in it daily. *sigh* hopefully this phase will end soon!
