late for work

...so no new pictures today. But I must brag about last night when E followed more complicated instructions than she ever has before. David was telling me about a new toy phone he bought her at the dollar store, and I said (several times) "Emma, where's your new telephone? Can you show me your new telephone?" She climbed off my lap and made a beeline for David's office, then called back to me insistently ("Gah...!"). When I came in she was standing there clearly searching for something on the floor. I spied the phone a foot away and pointed it out to her. She understood what I wanted and remembered (more or less) where she had left the toy!
