It's been so long since I've written because I haven't had any one thing to really write about. Emma seems to be in a stand by stage where she's not really learning any really big new things. she's almost getting bored and will do anything to occupy her time. Such as, laughing hysterically as she chases Mowgli around the house with a sunning mat.
Emma is also at the age where she really enjoys helping out with the chores. She's not always extremely helpful but I am enjoying every minute of her time spent with me, help or not. There will come a day when she will not be so keen on helping out any more. I was thinking of this today and it reminded me of when my mom taught us to ask her if there was anything else she needed help with on cleaning days. She would task us and we would do that task and then start playing with our toys so she finally had to enforce that we ask her for more work whenever we were done with our first task. So, I will relish this time with Emma even if she doesn't actually offer very much help. At least she wants to be with me and she wants to learn.
But, Emma will be a great house keeper because she excels in everything she does. Already she can walk in my 3 inch heels with ease and daddy's flip flops with the toe strap between the right toes. Not a small feat if you consider she did it all on her own and is only 19 months old.
