so ... Emily ... is quite the little general ... and with quite the temper these days as well. She has to be involved in everything and wants nothing more than to do exactly what everyone else is doing. And if you don't let her get her way she's lets you know exactly how upset she is with you by picking up anything close by and throwing it down so forcefully.
For example, yesterday was the primary program in our ward, and all of her siblings were up on the stand, so naturally she deserved to be up on the stand as well. Now, she's only 21 months. So when I didn't let her go up she had a royal tantrum.
But she can be the sweetest baby as well ... (on her own terms and only when she wants to of course). When she's happy and excited she starts clapping her hands and squealing and picking her feet up and down like she's marching to some brass band playing just for her.
She's happiest when she gets to play with her older brothers and sisters. For example, we'll be playing "do as I'm doing" on the piano for FHE and all the kids are spinning around ... Emily loves to be right in the middle of it all.
