Halloween was fun. Emma's Grandma Cindy made her a great Princess Dress and Randy and I made Wyatt a Spongebob box.
Funny how quick Emma caught onto the trick or treat thing. She watched how it was done twice then took off running.... literally. It was a sight; the two of the trying to get to the next house first. They stayed out 2 hours! And it was really cold too!
Emma has finally gotten the speech boost I've been hoping for. We aren't into sentences yet, but we are getting close. Her longest phrase is "Ready, Set, Go!" Shes started saying things like: Apples Juice, Bless You, Grandma's (or whoever) Car. I'm really trying to push pronouns and she is trying her damnedest to avoid them. I don't care really, I'm just tickled pink that's she trying so hard to talk and make her needs known. It's a scary thing when they are crying and whining for something and you have to play 50 questions/gestures to figure out what it is.
When she is about to make a 2 or 3 word phrase, she stops after each word to actively think about what comes next. So you have to be really patient and let her finish. Its well worth the wait.
Wyatt has adjusted to school finally. Whew. He still is asking how many days of school until the weekend and then how many days off to we have? At 5 and 3/4's he has finally learned the fine art of sneaky lying. In that I mean that its harder to read the signs of a fib. Its interesting.
He's also developed this "Man" attitude towards me. In voice inflection and tone as well as the thought delivery. Sort of like I am man, you are a piddly woman, now deliver snack to me on a silver platter." I can't really explain except to say I hope to everything holy that it goes away soon.
Ha... here's a good one its actually kind of thoughtful on his part:
Me: "You're going to be a doctor when you grow up."
Wyatt: "Whether being a doctor or a "Fixer Man" is good enough for me."
Me: "What did you say?"
Wyatt: "I meant what I said."
Oh.... and here is the fundamental difference between Wyatt and Emma.
