Emmerson’s Journey

Today a bald eagle flew into the tree behind our house. We watched it pick at what we thought was moss and bugs for a while. They Breighton pointed out that it was eating a squirrel, specifically JUMPY the Squirrel. Jumpy is Curious George’s best squirrel buddy in the books and cartoons. I LOVE Jumpy! [...]

Today I went to Air Heads in Tampa. I had fun NOT jumping. Maybe next time. One of Mommy’s friends had a train for me to play with. I drove that around for a while and pretended to play all the video games in the arcade.

I absolutely LOVED playing with the shaving cream today. I mixed the food coloring with the cream and made pink cream. Then I clapped my hands and made it fly all over! I laughed so hard. Mommy made a slip-and-slide or ice skating rink with the shaving cream. I was VERY cautious at first but [...]

Saturday we went to the neighborhood picnic and I had a blast playing on the playground. I even won a backpack full of school supplies! I was SO silly about it when my number was called. I acted really shy but was grinning from ear to ear. I am so proud of my new backpack. [...]

I am not so sure about this Mommy it is REALLY loud. I started out on Mommy’s lap in a chair with a big drum but I was slightly terrified. We moved to the ground and I was MUCH happier. I used Breighton’s old headphones and they made things a bit more tolerable. My cheeks [...]

We waited patiently for the “hose down” to start. The fire truck was not just a little late but a LOT. We got front row seats to watch them hook up the hose and get ready. I was so excited to go get wet but I just cowered in Mommy’s arms once the water started. [...]

Breighton was in camp all week and I got to spend 2.5 hours each day with Mommy and get ALL of the attention. I had to forgo my naps and that made me a bit (okay a LOT) cranky. We did a lot of letterboxing in the St. Petersburg area. We even found a kid [...]

Today we did arts and crafts all morning. I loved squeezing the glue all over my paper. Mommy gave up containers full of beans to decorate with. I actually managed to use the ENITRE bottle of glue! Mommy made some art too. It took 2 complete days to dry! GLUE GLUE GLUE!

Today we went to a local branch of the library for a program called “Didgeridoo Down Under”. It was all about Australia, animals, people and music! The man played the didgeridoo. I thought it was the funniest thing in the WORLD! I laughed for the entire hour of the show. He has stuffed animals, told [...]

My basic dialog lately. Mommy: Emmerson can you say “CAR”? Me: NO Mommy: Emmerson can you say “FISH”? Me: NO Mommy: Emmerson can you say “NO”? Me: NO. *pause* OH, YESSSSSSSSS. *laugh* I like to say “Oh, yessssss”. It cracks Mommy and Daddy up! On other notes: I have put #2 in the potty three [...]
