Emma Joy just turned 4! Yippeeeeeee!
Here are some recent milestones that she's reached:
1. She can say her R's, so now when she's telling people about the presents that Rhonda brought her, they won't respond with "Oh, how nice of Wanda to bring you something!" Hopefully this will help keep her from yelling at people when they don't understand.
2. She has finally reached a 15% B.M.I. No more 5th percentile or below for her..... she's on the charts!
3. She has FINALLY started feeding herself. [Yes, she just turned 4 and her 20 month old brother manages to feed himself] She normally gets distracted halfway through the meal and it will take another hour or so for her to finish unless we feed her. We told her that when she turned 4 she had to start feeding herself. So far, so good!
On a given day, you'll probably find her doing one of the following:
1. Flowers. She wants to pick them, plant them, talk about them, name them, and smell them ALL the time.
2. Climbing on her play structure. (Some 4 year-olds might call it a swing set)
3. Singing. She has been a singer most of her life and she hasn't slowed down a bit. She LOVES to sing.
4. Collecting bugs. We recently bought some bug catching kits at the dollar store. She likes to collect bugs and put them in the container and wear it around her neck and show everyone she sees. The sales clerk at Michael's was a bit nervous to have a container of rolly polys brought into her store. Not as nervous as I was when she brought a container of snails and spiders into our house.
5. Making cards for people. She loves to pick a color of paper, fold it in half and decorate it and send it in the mail to her friends. It is a very specific process that we are not welcome to help with- except for the mailing part.
6. Changing outfits. Several times per day. Never into one that matches.
