Piggies

Emma fondly refers to her toes as piggies, probably because that is what Steve and I call them. When we take her shoes or sandals off she says "piggies" and wiggles them. When she walks on her piggies she says "barina" (ballerina) and is obviously proud of herself. If her toes are sticking out of her sandals in an odd manner she will say "piggies!" repeatedly until we notice the problem and fix it for her. When we tickle her feet she says "piggies" while giggling. And it is no wonder that she loves hearing what her piggies are doing (going to market, eating roast beast, or crying all the way home).
