Emmy at 2

Emmaree Joy, you are one sassy and silly little girl!! You keep us on our toes with all of dramatic girly behavior. Your passion for things is what causes so many tantrums, but I hope you never lose your determination and "go get it" attitude! We love listening to your sweet little voice singing Twinkle Twinkle or Old McDolald. You have started saying "that's unny" when you think something is funny...this could be hitting Rowan to telling a knock knock joke...When we say "that's not funny" you say "It is too Unny". This argument can go on forever. 
You love baby dolls and playing doctor. But your real passion is with art. You always ask to color and prefer using markers over crayons. You always want to "switch colors" which means give you new markers. You make little swirly circles over and over and then ask for new paper as well. You pretty much have a meltdown when I have to sign a receipt and you don't get a turn!
You are a thrill seeker. You always find the fastest slide and tallest ladder at the park. You have much less fear than your brother did at this age. You love being dunked in the pool and jumping to dada. You love all the rides at Disneyland and Legoland...the faster the better! 
Speaking of Disneyland, man do you live it! Minnie is your all time favorite, but you really like seeing all the characters as well. You do this cute little back up walk to them so you can get your picture taken. It's so hilarious!
You are a teeny tiny little gal. Maybe 20lbs on a good day. You are a great eater, you just don't eat much of anything. You love fruit, especially watermelon and apples, beans, pasta, carrots with hummus, veggie dogs, and you are always ready for a treat! 
You are a total girl when it comes to clothes, shoes, and accessories. You especially love to wear Rowan's shoes. You love carrying your purse around with money in it (always "2 monies"...have to have two of everything) and wearing mommys necklaces. 
You are a great sleeper and napper. However you like to be up before the sun! 
You can still fit into 9-12 month clothes and wear a size 4 shoe. 
We love you more than you will ever know. The amount of laughter and joy you bring us is unexplainable. You have taught me to have more patience and to slow down and enjoy the small things. I joke that when you're around Emmy you have to go by "Emmy time". 
Happy second birthday, sweet girl!
