It's funny how my perspective on how I view my time at home is changing as Emily gets older. It's less about actively taking care of her needs, and just about spending time with her and keeping her from getting hurt. She's really fun to be around! She doesn't need that much, and what she does is pretty predictable or she'll tell me what she wants. Last night, we sat her up at the table with us for the first time. Her high chair has always been right next to the table, but we took the tray away and now she pulls right up to the table and eats off a plate, using a fork and spoon. She is such a grown up little girl!!!
I went to a playgroup with a bunch of other John Deere moms this weekend, and it was pretty fun. There were two girls who were a little older than Emily - just old enough to be testing the limits! I was reminded that I should really enjoy this innocent, trusting age before the next stage starts. I sure like 1 - what a fun age! She's big into putting things on and taking them off, especially snowpants and hats and sweatshirts. She's pretty successful on her own, which is impressive to me.
I still don't know what to do about her hair that hangs in her eyes all the time. She has such a pretty forehead and expressive eyes, and she's just stunningly pretty with a barette in her hair, but she won't leave it in and instead she ends up looking shaggy. It's gotta be annoying, too, but she doesn't seem to mind to much. My mom said she looks like a precious moments doll, which is a nice way to think about it, I guess.
Happy Inaguration Day!!!!
