Emma Tidbits

Just some funny Emma stories:

At church on Sunday she escaped from nursery without anyone realizing it and was wandering around in the chapel during another ward's sacrament meeting... whoops! Luckily someone who knew who she was, was in that ward and came and found me. I think we'll have to have a word with the nursery leaders...

Today at the library some little girl had a binky just like Emma's. Emma marched right up to her and ripped it out of her mouth and stuck it in hers before I could even blink! Later we saw the little girl again and Emma took off after her and that little girl RAN for it. Oh Emma :)

Emma's favorite food is chicken nuggets. She eats them almost every day for lunch. And dip. Ranch dressing dip. She has to have some on her plate or food is no good at all. And it goes with everything! Ranch and mac & cheese, ranch and skittles, ranch and life cereal, you name it, it goes with ranch. We were at the store today and passed the ranch and she started yelling "Mom! Ranch dip! Look! Ranch dip!" at the tons of bottles of Hidden Valley Ranch (is there any other kind of ranch? ;) She also hates messes while she eats. If she spills the tiniest bit on the floor or on herself she cries until it's cleaned up. It might crack me up if I wasn't so annoyed that I get interrupted while eating my lunch 15 times.

She loves swimming! She begs to go swimming every day! She will grab her swimsuit and run to the door and say "I go swimming?" I guess at nursery the other day she heard something about it and ran to the door, "I go swimming!"

She loves Abby. Loves to give her kisses and help her eat her Abby Snacks. She loves bathtime with Abby and begs me to put Abby in the bath with her.

She is an excellent singer already. She knows the words to quite a few songs. And she helps me make up songs all of the time. She carries a tune very well, which I could never do... she must get it from her dad.

She doesn't like to be told what to do. She loves being given choices and picking which one she wants. She gets this little grin on her face and looks at her choices for a while and then points to what she wants "This one?!" with a slight question in the tone of her voice.

Her favorite movie is Cars right now, but The Little Mermaid is fast joining it. She also loves trains (Thomas & Friends) and fish. We went to the store and were looking at underwear (potty training to come soon) and she wanted to pick out the little boy Toy Story, Cars, or Thomas ones... we finally convinced her that Tangled ones would be good.
