I don't really know if I should be concerned about Emily or proud. I few months ago, she began spending LOTS of time drawing girls on paper and letting them have conversations with each other. When I say lots of time, I mean three hours a day! She sits at the table drawing the girls and cats and I hear thing like this,
"Hi Sweetie! You look sooooo cute!"
Another girl she draws:"oh thank you, I got a new dress."
"Oh, I NEVER get a new dress."
"That okay Sweetie you look pretty."
"See my new cat."
Ohhhh she's really cute."
"Yes, I know."

Each girl she draws has their own voice. This is what entertains Emily. What can I say?

Sarah Kate has a new stunt she likes to pull! She will eat almost anything. She has always been a great eater, but when there is something she does not like or she gets full, she says, "it's hot."

She knows that I often tell her, "don't eat that yet, It's hot." When I eat hot salsa I say, "Sarah Kate, you can't eat salsa because it is hot."

Pretty clever I must say. She pulled this one on my mother a bunch last week when we were visiting.

Any suggestion for an almost two year old that wakes up every morning between 5:00 and 5:30????????? No matter what time I put her to bed, she is up at the SAME time.
