Since I posted the 1/2 birthday photos yesterday, I've been thinking about all the things that Emma loves that aren't captured in the photos. Just a few in addition to the photos...dancing (together and by herself), doing somersaults, being swung upside down, swinging on the swings, singing, building towers, playing with her animals, baking cakes, arranging plastic tubs, hiding in small spaces like blanket forts under the dining table, playing with her friends, helping to cook and do housework, spinning in circles, jumping on the bed, walking and running in the forest, being carried in the carrier, her stroller, playing in the bath, going naked, having picnics, swimming and floating, talking to her grandparents on Skype, reading reading and more reading, playign with her magnetic letters, playing in the playhouse, riding ont he back of my bike wearing her helmet, playing with cars and construction toys, watching Thomas the Tank Engine and Caillou, raosting marshmallows over a campfire, playing music, paddling at the beach, and and and...
In fact, there is so much she loves and she just epitomizes joy and life. I love that about her.
Tonight, as we got ready for Granny Heath and Grandad's arrival tomorrow, Emma danced around the house singing "Ohhh, ohhh, the pokey pokey. Ohhh, ohhh, the pokey pokey..." It's very cute.
In other news, the fact that Emma's daycare teaches her Americanisms is driving me nuts. I have a daughter who says "garbage can" instead of "rubbish bin" and when she recites the alphabet, I have to correct her "zee"s to "zeds" so much that I've almost started referring to monkeys as "chimpanzeds." (Canadians, for the record, say "zed" no "zee" so this is a more legitimate complaint than most of the other things, which are actually Canadian and which I am simply going to have to get used to.)
