Eureka!

Eureka... Eureka! When you find the thing you seeka, Eureka. This is a line from one of Emmett's favorite songs. It's from the Backyardigans cartoon soundtrack. And you should hear him spontaneously start singing in fairly clear English "Eureka!". Not that he understands what it means. But it's so darn cute!

I have decided that the language barrier is not going to stop me from my usual Irish gabbiness! I've started to just talk and talk and talk to Emmett. Telling him what I'm doing, where we're going, who will be there, etc. He nods his head and says "neh" (yes) and doesn't understand a thing. I could be telling him that we're going to the moon, and we'll be there for 5 years, and he's going to stay with aliens. He'd just nod his little head. Today he learned how we make dinner. First we have to preheat the oven, then measure the milk, etc. He was very interested!

Today we had Emmett's first Dr appointment. He did a great job despite being pretty scared. He sat on Omma's lap while he was examined, and only had a few tears roll down his chubby cheeks. Breaks my heart! I started singing another song to him (since music does such wonders for his mood) - the song says, "everything will be alright, be alright, day or nighttime" (K & J, you may recognize it from the Land of Nod CD). He chimed right in like a trooper! That's my little man!


That's about all for now.
