Dear Emily,
Although you were born in water, and spent your very early years taking showers with me, you reached a point where you didn't like showers any more or even baths for that matter.You spent quite a long period of time just preferring to be wiped down with a washcloth, which worked just fine for us. You now though, you you absolutely love water. When I was trying to take a shower today you were trying to climb in. You would play in the tub for hours if you could, splashing away. I need to start bringing toys in for you.
Running water facinates you, most especially lately. You like to get a container, of any sort, and let it full up and dump it. Today you loved watching the water trickle down the spout on the house, and fill your little plastic half eggs up and dump them. You were not happy when I brought you inside, but a storm had come in and it was quite chilly outside.
Your other love, teeth brushing. This is a great love to have! You'd keep that toothbrush in your mouth all day if you could, chewing away. You now have grasped the hand coordination to brush your front teeth, although we're working on the back.
