Emma enjoys typing. she asked to be set up typing and then i (joe) was doing some chores and talking to mom (carmen) on the phone. i got off the phone and see that emma has spelled "emma es 4 and nex". anyway, she spelled the rest almost by herself (help with the "SH" in "SHe" and double-L in "wiLL" and moral support)
