O.C.D.

Emily is O.C.D.

Example #1
Gramma Nancy (who watches Emily while I'm at work) just called me... Here is the conversation:

GN: I hope you don't have any plans for Emily to be a brain surgeon...

Me: Why...?

GN: I was in the kitchen when I heard her grunting... I came around the corner to find her on the floor, under the school desk with her dolly's blanket... SCRUBBING THE FLOOR!

Me: Not again!

So I was only joking when I said "not again" -- but every time Emily can get her hands on something towel-esque, she starts wiping things down! The window sill, the floor, the table... the couch! The girl loves to clean!

Example #2
A few days ago, Emily and I were reading books. As we'd finish one book, I'd set it aside. After a few books, we had a small stack of them. We finished a forth book, and I went to fill up her milk. When I came back, she had stacked that book underneath the top two books... so that the four books were stacked BY SIZE!!

Oh how cute, my little O.C.D. child is!

Emily went for a walk with Gramma Nancy and brought me something back...
This is the first "gift" Emily has given me... and I'm sure, the first of many!



Thank you, Emily! I love them!

16 Months and Counting...

Little Miss Monkey is 16 months old today. She has grown SO MUCH since the last time I blogged... that it'd be impossible to cover everything! So here are just a few things:

She loves cleaning. She'll go over to the basket her diapers, etc are kept in... get a wipe or two out of the dispenser... then walk around and wipe things down. The table, the windows, the floor, her toys... you name it, she'll try and clean it.

She loves brushing her teeth. Anything brush-esque, she'll try to put in her mouth and brush her teeth!!

She loves animal sounds. Monkey, sheep, elephant, cow, dog, cat, mouse, snake, horse, pig, and more! She does them all! (The best is the pig... she kind of snorts, but it sounds more like she's trying to clear her sinuses).

She loves food. We have not found a single food that she won't eat. Hope she stays that way.

She is Miss Independence! She wants to do everything by herself! Eat... walk... cross the road... climb up the stairs... brush her teeth... walk down the stairs... it won't be long before she insists on picking her outfits!

So that's just a quick update on a few of Emily's latest "ism's"... she is such a little character! I absolutely love her litte personality... and even her attitude! Every day I am amazed at just how much she's grown up. She's honestly like a little person. She's not a baby anymore, that's for sure!

I will try and post a few pics and video very soon! Cheers!
