A Gentle Soul

Emma Claire is a dog lover. She has built in playmates in Sophie ("Shhhhe-Shee", as Emma Claire calls her as of the past 2 days - Sophie did not have an Emma Claire name before that) and Rudy ("Re-Re"), who are both surprisingly tolerant of her. Rudy has his moments, but Sophie is always patient.
Emma Claire has recently taken to using Sophie as a "stool". I caught a shot of them the other morning and have seen it happen a few times since. Emma Claire backs into Sophie, sticks her little bottom out, and has a seat. Sophie may not be the brightest bulb on the tree, but sure is a sweet soul.

Emma Claire had a great day! She had a fun morning playing with the scarves. She liked wearing them on her head and had to try each color out. She participated in a fun "peek-a-boo" game with the girls using the scarves. It was pretty entertaining!

Emma Claire had lots of fun playing outside in the sandbox this morning. She and Emma had fun balancing on the wooden beams around the sandbox together! They walked around and around holding hands to steady themselves. What good friends!

Note...the toddler room changed their name from the "Playful Little Pirates" to the Rock Stars for the new school year. Hence, "Rock Star Daily News".

Emma Claire had a great day! She had lots of fun playing with the headbands and mirrors in the sensory table! She liked wearing the headbands as necklaces and then looking in each of the mirrors to see how it looked...very pretty, Emma Claire!

Sunday Mornings

Gotta love Summer weekend mornings. The past couple of weekends have been especially crisp in the mornings (which explains the bunny hat...yes, in August) and mild in the day.

Emma Claire loves her little pink car. I think she is working on a new alternative fuel involving grass. She likes to pick fistfuls of grass and put them in the back of the car. Maybe she is onto something...

Church services in the summer are outdoors, which is a treat. Sad to see that come to an end this week. How is it that the Summer has gone by so quickly?

Emma Claire had lots of fun playing with the train set this morning. Emma Claire helped me put the track together. She found all the curvy pieces to put together first! Then, she got to push the train down the track!

Side note...
Emma Claire is really scared of trains. She does the "scared whine" when she hears one up close, in the distance or if brought up otherwise. Ask her what a train says or to say choo-choo and you will get the same reaction.
She rids herself of the fear by saying and waving "bye" to the train whether the train is real or imaginary.

Emma Claire had a lot of fun playing in the sensory table with the shaving cream! It made great "clouds"!! Emma Claire wasn't so sure on how to get it off her hands, but it sure was fun to squish!
