Oh boy! There's nothing quite as hilarious as getting on Emmett's bad side. While this little one is a very cheerful little boy most of the time, he does have his moments! Maybe you didn't read a story ... or you couldn't understand what he wanted ... or he just woke up in a grumpy mood! Whatever it was, it is a momentary reminder of another aspect of this little guy's very expressive personality.

Daily workouts and physio sessions with mom are a key component of daily life. Tummy time is something that has always been a frustration point for Emmett. Bowling is much more his style - and gives whoever he is playing with an extensive workout.

Emmett's uncle Ben (affectionately called 'Ubba' got married recently to Alesha. Emmett was one of two ring bearers and he did a fantastic job. Congratulations to Ben and Alesha!

Unfortunately Emmett picked up a bug over that happy and exciting time. This meant a lot of time on bi-pap and resting, but it was also a bug that Emmett was able to fight at home without a trip to BC Children's Hospital. He was under the weather for over a week yet his personality was back and he was feeling a bit better after about three days.

There's a new addition to Emmett's menagerie of animals - please welcome Ted E. Bear to the family. Ted E. Bear was made by volunteers at an organization called Tubie Friends. Tubie Friends aim is to help children with a feeding tube - and Emmett certainly has an instant connection with Ted E. Bear. What's fantastic is that Ted E. Bear's feeding tube port is orange! Further helping Emmett feel at home with himself is that Cliff now sports a fantastic pair of AFO's. I put on a call of FaceBook for help from someone with a 3D printer and a huge thanks to Dylan who designed and got Cliff's AFO's printed!

Spring has led to finding beautiful flowers and some wonderful hikes. The suspension bridge at Cascade Falls is a short and very steep hike to an awesome view. Please note, it is not wheelchair accessible.

Playing cards is a new activity for Emmett. Playing RV, Toy Story, Cars, and on and on are still a huge part of Emmett's daily activities.

Keeping Emmett occupied is easy as he always loves and wants to be doing things. The bigger question is whether or not you can handle playing Winnie the Pooh and the Hundred Acre Wood or RV and a family trip for as long as Emmett wants to!

You may recall that in the past Emmett hated getting his hands dirty. In fact, when playing with his mini-sandbox he wouldn't touch the sand but only use his small plastic implements to move things around. Well, here is photo proof that Emmett is getting his hands dirty! Hurray! Emmett also got to sit in his grandpa's race car and this was a first. Not because grandpa hasn't let him sit in it before, but even though Emmett loves looking at the race car and talking about it, up until now he has declined every invitation to sit in it.

Emmett is still very much in an Elephant and Piggy phase of his books right now. Here's another story that Emmett would like to share. He's wearing his bi-pap which impedes his enunciation a bit, but we hope you enjoy another moment of reading at Emmett's Corner!
