"meer"

two months have passed since my last blog posting. that is a very long time in the life of a toddler. things change at an accelerated pace when you are two years old. new things are learned. new habits are formed. personality traits are developed. communication skills are honed. it is this aspect of toddlerhood that I will focus on today.

each and every day, emma develops her communication skills a little further. I love this process, and am grateful to be here to witness it. it is great fun to hear the trial and error process, as she attempts to assemble sounds and syllables into coherent words and phrases. she is great at making us giggle when she mispronounces words like "fox" and "shirt".

I hope that the Lord is able to giggle at us, as we fumble around down here on earth trying to figure things out. and I hope that He is making a list of our funniest mistakes, so that we can share a laugh with Him in eternity.

here are some of my favorite emma sayings:

"sat?" = what's that?

"sap? = can I sit on your lap?

"chup" = chip

"wearm" = wear them

"boowm" = spoon

"karm"= popcorn

"drawn?" = can I draw?

"sessue" = bless you

"lu loo!" = I love you!

and guess what this means:
