One thing we've noticed about Emma is that she's not much for toys overall. She loves her books and she loves her puzzles, but she doesn't really play much with toys - well, unless you consider Gary, Thomas and I to be her toys as I think she often does! She loves playing at the beach or in her sandbox and she loves running around after the cats or pushing a stroller around (I'm trying to get her to follow in my stroller addicted footsteps!lol) She's getting pretty funny with her imaginative play though. She was on a few airplane rides over the summer and she loves airplanes and airports - she's always pointing to the airplanes in the sky. Let me add that she's also always been really obsessed with buckles - the ones on the carseat, her stroller, etc. Anyhow, her new game entails her saying "airport, airplane, fly" and then she links her fingers, says "buckle" and puts them against her tummy like she's flying and then she does this: "flies" on the table as you can see in the pic!lol

Her new - or maybe not so new thing - is bossing us around. I guess she's always minored in bossy, now she's picked it as her major!lol She tries to tell us all how to do things. When we're in the car, she tries to dictate who can have their window up or down and what songs can be played (right now her fave is on a Sesame Street CD and goes something like "womba womba womba woo woo woo, blah blah blah, monster in the mirror" - can't tell you how many times I've heard that one - obviously not enough to remember the complicated lyrics though!!) I was having a cup of tea earlier and she's trying to tell me when I can take a sip, when I can put the cup down, when I should give her a sip, etc. I'm telling HER she's not the boss of me... shouldn't it be the other way around?lol

So, any of your little ones (Emma is almost 22 months old) also not into toys but totally into bossing everyone around??
