Off to a raring start

2010 Has been off to a roaring start! We have gone to the circus, been hiking twice, and dad's been back out in his kayak! We've had two significant snowfalls (enough to build a snowman - that's a lot for us!) - and Em has had a great time learning to sled and throw snowballs. :)

Emily has moved to a new school - and so far she seems to be really enjoying it. She has a lot more kids in her class who are more talkative than at her previous school (she's now one of the younger ones instead of older ones) - and she has become MUCH more talkative at home. She speaks in short sentences and is a total chatty cathie!

Other fun points of note -
1 - She can take off and put on her shoes and socks (sometimes she chooses not to)
2 - She has definite preferences now (Backyardigans and Dora on TV, fruit (apples please) to eat, and favorite shoes already)
3 - We are working on learning to hop
4 - She's interested in the potty but so far very little potty training progress... :)

Our latest fun trip was a 7 to 8 mile hike (she hiked about 1 mile or so of it on her own) to a waterfall. She is definitely learning to enjoy climbing and we will probably be trying to take her to the gym soon :)

Ok off to tag consignment items.... Love to all!
