Here's Emi wearing a top or dress from when I was little. I found it in a box in the basement (I have lots of my old toys, but not many clothes, so it was a fun discovery.) I had Emi wear it as a top even though I think it was probably a dress. 

Alaina's bridging ceremony to go from a Daisy scout to a Brownie was last week, and Emi couldn't resist going over the bridge again and again:

We went to Touch a Truck with a sweet friend:

These play silks were one of the best gifts I've bought the girls. They both play with them and in completely different ways. And I think they are used pretty much every day.

Sorry if this one's a repeat -- I can't remember if I posted it yet. It's from a spring walk I took with Emi.

I think the most interesting thing new with Emi is that she asks to go to the park every day, often multiple times a day! I am trying to oblige her as much a possible. She loves being outside, and she loves going on slides and swings. It's amazing to me how much she is physically capable of doing (and willing to do). Alaina was and is much more cautious (this is commentary, not criticism), so I'm not used to having a girl who just turned 2 and doesn't need any help on the play structures and wants to go down the biggest slide. Really, she is always on the lookout for the biggest one and asking, "Big slide? Big slide?" And if she's on a swing, it's, "Faster!" Yesterday she even told me to push her faster while we were walking to the swings. ;-) She also loves trying to blow bubbles (but isn't good at it yet) and playing in the sand table at home. And she's willing to go on pretty long walks with me.
