Emma loves to sing, and read, and memorize.Gma Sue gave her a Winnie the Pooh Nursery Rhymes book for her 3rd birthday and she can recite almost every song in there! It's also a great tried and true stalling technique at bedtime!
Emma is starting a summer reading program with our library on Sunday, it's time based instead of counting by the book. She and I began reading Charlotte's Web last week, a chapter a night before bed. She loves it. We'll watch the movie together when we finish the book.
Oh, and here's an update on Emma's latest injuries....The prognosis is good, despite her first reaction and public statements, today's sidewalk face-plant was not life threatening. The bruised and slightly bloodied knee and elbow should make a full recovery and we're begging her to stop telling people she has a "crippled" leg. Just to give you a slight glimpse into the melodrama we enjoy here at the Coleman home, here's Emma's first words with all the emotion she could muster after the accident today:
"I can't do this! I'll never walk again...or I won't walk till Winter! Tell Gma Ann that I can't go to Jessie's house any more because I can't walk there, I can't get food or play games....I'll just have to lay on the couch. I can't DO this!!"
If you noticed the world stop for a minute today, and then start again, and wondered why, it was because our daughter fell.
