Home sick.

Emma has a cold. A minor but persistent one that stuck around since Sunday night and is only now letting up. We've been staying home more than usual and missing our usual playground outings and playdates but we've been keeping busy here. We've continued learning about farm animals, foxes, and preparing food. Emma likes to mimic me putting things into a pot and stirring it around with a spoon. 

Lion Squished Banana soup! 

We went to the park yesterday to burn off some energy (and lion soup is very high in calorie if you weren't already aware) Emma was thrilled to be out, actually ran on the track, gathered fallen nuts and leaves, and sat on a great stump. 

This is Emma telling me she hears something. 

Emma telling me it's a plane! 

And that little speck was actually a spectacular plane in person.

Emma loves watching planes! Soon the two of us will be on a plane to see my mom and dad (Emma's CoCo and Granddad) for a week. Thinking about flying and travel without Patricks help makes me nervous but Emma is always as easy as can be. I worry she won't settle or will get upset or travel will be hard on her, and my fears are never realized. We're lucky parents to such a cool tempered baby :) still, I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that it won't be the first time she loses her cool on a flight.
