This is going to make us sound like we deprive poor Emma, but I promise you, homegirl has a ton of toys. These (simple) toys are just her favorite right now.
Books! These (below) are her current favorites. Any lift the flap, any big clear pictures, and she loves the Jesus one because it sings.
Emma can look at that Sofia book for several minutes (an eternity in toddler time) in absolute silence. We usually take a few in the car with us so she can look at them while I drive. :-)
This sort of falls into the "book" category but our little family book is a huge hit as well.
Emma is always surprised to see Daddy first and says something like "ooo!". We usually look at it when Nathan is at work so she's always happy to see him.
It is so good for her to practice saying everyone's names and seeing their pictures-- especially because all of our family is out of town.
We also play "What's in the box?" and she loves it! We sing "What's in the box" twice while patting our legs and Emma reaches in the bucket (ghetto covered by yours truly) to grab an animal. After she pulls it out we talk about that animal, what sound it makes, and what it does. "Horse! Horse neighs! Horse eat grass. Remember when you pet a horse?"
When she gets sick of the horse, I put it behind me and we sing it again. I always make her ask for more.
Besides those toys, E loves puzzles, stuffed animals, and her shopping cart. She also loves getting dressed, purses, shoes, and jewelry.
Weirdly enough she also loves washing her hands and using hand sanitizer. It is so funny! We will walk past hand sanitizer somewhere and she'll lean or run right up to it. She's such a smart cookie.
Okay, that's it really. Hope everyone has a great weekend! xox
