Brag Post

Since this blog is about all the amazing things Emmi does here is an exclusive brag post about our little girl who is obviously the smartest, cutest and funniest 19 months old the world has ever known...

* Emmi is starting to recognize shapes and she can point out hearts and circles which she calls "ircles"
* If she wants to color with her white crayon she knows to get black paper instead of white
* She is using the potty about 5 times a day and is without a diaper most of the time we are at home
* She can take of her shoes, socks & jacket and put on her socks and her shoes most of the time by herself. She is really working on putting on pants on her own.
* She understands all everyday things we talk about in german and english and is using more and more words every day. I am guessing her spoken vocabulary consists of about 100 words, but I do have to admit most of it is probably not understandable to most other poeple just yet. About 80% of her words are in german.
* She loves to color and play with playdough and has an amazing attention span doing so. She will sit and color or playdough for about 30 minutes at a time at least twice a day.
* She can walk up and down the stairs unassisted
* She can put toghether a 24 piece puzzle where she has to match animals with their babies
* She knows how to make a really cute face everytime she gets in trouble.
* She can recognize songs by hearing the instrumental version on CD.
