Becoming a Busybody...

Somebody has turned into little miss busybody recently!

School was cancelled for me on Monday due to flooding from the Nor'easter that hit on Sunday. We were perfectly in the clear, but the town that I teach in had some problems and one of the schools was being used as a shelter. While Emily and I did some chores around the house, she decided she wanted to "help" with the laundry. Her laundry basket was out so I finally put her in it for pictures. She thought it was great fun!

The next day after school, Emily crawled over to a pile of newspapers that were going to go down for recycling. She started picking the pile apart and handing papers and sections to me one by one. She seemed most interested in the ads so I'm not sure if she's already showing an interest in shopping or showing off her academic side with the newspaper. More likely answer is that it was fun to take the paper apart and crawl around on it. After that she pulled up on the railing. We're finally starting to see her pull up a bit more.

Yesterday, I had Emily sitting in our room while I got changed after work. She's not in there too often so she easily entertains herself exploring. Today she found tbe bookshelf that had my Red Sox hat sitting on it. She pulled it down and kept putting it up to her head. Smart girl, she knew it was supposed to go on her head. I finally put it on for her and she got such a kick out of it! She seems to be following Uncle Nathan's wishes (or brain washing from when we visited him) and is a young Red Sox fan. Later today she found another hat and tried to put it on her head. When she has a comb, she puts it up to head and tries to comb. It's so impressive how quickly she picks this stuff up now.
