Week of June 17 - Summer Fun Time

You know it is summer time when Daddy inflates the wading pool and Emily tries on her new swim suit. So with yet another warm weather streak here in the bay area, I huffed and I puffed until the pool was inflated and ready to be filled with water. And in tune with that very popular saying, Emily took to the water like a little duckling.


So with a handful of water toys, Emily has a blast in the pool.



After a while of course, you have to remove the toddler from the water lest their little fingers and toes turn into total prunes. LOL. that does not stop Emily though, she simply continues playing with water on the patio, and the pool is an infinite supply of more water.


Mommy finally prevailed upon Emily to put some of the water where it can actually do some good. Like on the plants! :)


In closing for this week, I'd like to add that Emily has added the words "I", and "Me" and the ever popular "Mine!" to her vocabulary. And she knows how to use them in sentences in order to get her needs met too! I am so thankful that we taught Emily to say "please" way many months back. It is really helping us to help her soften the "I want xyz" or "xyz is mine!" into a more polite dialog. :-P
