Emily went for a walk with her Dad one Sunday afternoon. They walked up to the park, past the golf club and along some bush path. It's really nice to spend time with each of the girls on their own. They always seem so well behaved when they are with you without the other - not sure if it's because they know that it's a special time between you and them or if it's just because there's no one else around to steal the spotlight!
Emily is fascinated with her shadow at the moment and often talks about it! Shadows are fun and she was extra excited to find it inside the other day! The girls use their torches at night to make shapes on the wall but most of all they just like watching it when we are outside - seeing what they can get it to do!
Emily is such a sweet little girl and although she likes to copy her big sister a lot she has quite a personality of her own. She knows what she wants and what she doesn't want - although we haven't really had a tantrum from Emily yet, instead when she gets upset she will have a bit of a loud cry but then calm down quite quickly, sometimes she will even take herself to the step and count to 5! Emily is quick to say sorry and often knows when a sorry is needed. She doesn't like other people being upset and likes to try and make things better. Emily gives lovely cuddles which usually include a little tap on the back with her tiny hand! She is always excited to see you and her smile is infectious! She does get up to a bit of mischief though - drawing on herself is the most common! If she gets into a tug of war with someone over something, she won't give in and stands her ground, but we have found if someone asks nicely for something she might have she will nearly always give it up (Leilani tries to take advantage of her kind nature!!!!) Em still loves her Minnie Mouse and sleeps with it every night. She likes to sing and dance and sit down and watch some TV. She loves puzzles and books and playing hide and seek.... although she is pretty good at jumping out before you find her! Her sweet little voice can become quite loud at times and she is pretty good at not hearing if you ask her to be quiet. When she gets the giggles it's pretty hard to not laugh with her and she loves to say, "just one more time" whilst holding her finger up! She is good at tackling and will lay on top of Lani for ages as a defence! She adores her big sister and loves to play with her. She loves yoghurt, honey sandwiches, and milo and toast. She loves cucumber, strawberries and cakes and biscuits. She has beautiful blonde hair and big dark eyes. We love Emily and love watching her grow and change everyday.
