Emma continues to do really well at her school/daycare. She is able to recognize both letters and numbers, is learning to write her name and she can verbally spell her name. She has learned the days of the week and months of the year through songs they have taught her and they are now teaching them to her in Spanish. I’ve GOT to get out the Spanish book I got her so we can keep up…I took French is high school, not that I remember that much anyway! They have also begun teaching her math. We ask about what she does each day so we know what to do at home and that helps us keep track of what she needs to work on.

Emma was a ballerina for Halloween. We did not take her trick-or-treating for we went to the Pumpkin Path at the Sacramento Waldorf School again this year. She really enjoys all the skits they put on and the treasures she receives at each stop. It was rainy this year, bur we managed to get almost all the way through before it started to sprinkle.

Funny things Emma says: “Get me some privacy” when going potty; “It’s BORING” when she doesn’t want to do something, like clean up her toys; “Being patient isn’t working anymore” when she’s sooo done trying to be patient at ANY time; “I want to hold you” when she wants to be held; “Is there a chicken coming?” for she is terribly afraid of the chickens that run around at Fairy Tale Town and asks all the time if there is one around – this is a new fear of hers.
