Machinery is in her blood... Emma
was riding the tractor with her
mum for the nine months before she
was born, so it's not really much
of a surprise that she still wants
to now that she can reach the handles
for herself. Her first complex sentence
as she is learning to speak was
"Emma help Daddy put big green
tractor in garage". Accordingly,
we made her a birthday cake in the
shape of Mummy's big green tractor
this year. Her favourite present
was a Terrific Tractor book, complete
with steering wheel.

In early April, Emma had her first
horse ride, on a pony called Marley
at Ferrymead.
And at Easter, Emma demonstrated
her understanding of the fine art
of chocolate bunny consumption.
Step one, start with the ears. It
also didn't take her long to realise
that it tasted better after the
plastic was removed.
