Emery has two best friends right now. One is
Max. He is well, a little bit of an imaginary friend. He is from the kids show Max & Ruby. Have you seen it? If not, you're one of the lucky parents out there. I really don't like the show, but Emery loves it. For the past few weeks, she has been talking to and about Max daily. Today, she was playing with her guitar, telling Max he wasn't allowed to play with it. It's so fun to see that Emery is able to use her imagination and make up activities and friends.
Emery's second best friend is Carter, or "Dashu" as Emery calls him. She's always called him "Dashu" and we hear it so much that Ivan and I find ourselves calling Carter "Dashu". I've been correcting Emery with his name and hopefully soon, she will call him by Carter. Emery loves to play with Carter all day long. He takes the playing, or abuse sometimes, really well. I think it's because he gets all of the food that Emery doesn't eat, which is a lot.



I had to add in this picture of Emery. It's not the best picture to use as an example, but when Emery gets mad, she says "I'm mad!" and makes this crunched up face. She totally has her Mom's facial expressions! When she's done being mad, her face lights up and she says "I"m happy!". Too cute!
