Emmi-Joy is a WHOLE "hand" today :)!!! She has been looking forward to her fifth birthday since... well, her fourth, heeheehee :).
Compared to some of the rest of us, Emmi is pretty quiet... but nevertheless, she is quite the talker! She recently memorized the Lord's prayer :)! She is also learning to read, and does awesome at writing words the way they sound. This really doesn't shock me, because she is *such* a book/word lover, and always has been. When she was a toddler, she would sit spell bound watching Mama every time she read a book to us, and she LOVES to learn new words. She shocks people sometimes by the random words she knows, and I have heard her before, upon hearing me use an unusual word, walk away slowly repeating it to herself, I suppose to make sure it "stuck" :). I call her my little owl... haha :). She planned a busy day to celebrate her birthday- full of shopping and lots of food... LOTS of food... haha :).
I <3 you, Emmi! Happy Birthday :)!!!
With her love of words, I won't be surprised if she becomes a blogger/writer one day. I hope she grows up to prize the words of the Lord most of all. :)
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to see, but I think we might have a few budding writers! Mama has said she wants Peter to write a book, too, haha :).
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly agree!
