Wonder Toddler Thursday -- Roadtrip!

Wonder Toddler Powers, activate! Form of...Road Warrior!

On our recent roadtrip, Eme was a total trooper. She didn't complain even once during the 6-ish hour drive (that's each way), and she even helped entertain Oskar, who did complain multiple times during the drive.

Here we are, stopped for a lunch break, testing Andreas' theory that Sheetz is not so much a "gas station with food," but rather a "restaurant that also happens to sell gasoline."

Wonder Toddler Thursday -- Jem-elie

Let's pretend it's Thursday, or I may never get this posted (I keep waiting for Thursday to post, then missing it).

Wonder Toddler Powers, activate! Form of...Jem-elie!

Yes, I've introduced my daughter to the Jem cartoons. Yes, they're as bad as I thought they might be, even though I do remember them fondly. (And I just found out today that the entire series is being re-released on DVD in October!)

Eme loves them. She parades around the house pretending to get into peril and singing her way back out of it. She's truly, truly, truly outrageous.

Wonder Toddler Thursday -- Fire Chief

Wonder Toddler Powers, activate! Form of...Stow Fire Chief!

We went to see the Touch-a-Truck event at the Stow Library a few weeks ago, and Eme had a blast! You may notice, though, that while she is wearing a fire chief hat, she's actually sitting in the driver's seat of a mail truck.

Still cute, though.

(For a blast from the past, click here to see the last time I posted a pic of Eme in a fire hat at the 2009 Touch-a-Truck, when she was just over a year old!)

Wonder Toddler Thursday -- Tied

Wonder Toddler Powers, activate! Form of...Daddy ready for work.

The other day Eme took a ribbon and tucked it into her shirt, then told me she was like Daddy when he goes to work. Yes, she made her own tie.

She came up with it all by herself. I merely took the picture.
