Playing in the snow on a beautiful February day!
Lily and Mommy
Silly Lily!
We got several inches of snow last week so Lily enjoyed one of her last opportunities to play in the white stuff. It's melting quickly. Supposed to be 41 degrees today!
Lily achieved seven consecutive nights in her big girl bed! Wah-hoo! She has done so well and the whole transition has been more smooth than I could have imagined!
She really is growing up. Sometimes I feel like I blink and she looks taller or is saying some funny new thing. She's talking so much and she's quite chatty. One of the cute things she still does is mix up her pronouns. She says, "Carry you?" and of course means "Carry me". She copies what she hears so she says, "Want a drink, honey?" when she wants a drink! Or "Wanna go outside, honey?" or "Wanna watch a movie?" She asks if *we* want to rather than saying that *she* wants to. It's so funny. And I'm enjoying it while it lasts because I know she'll grow out of it overnight and I won't get to hear her sweet little voice asking me if I want a drink again!
She counts to 10 all the time and can count 10 objects really well. She counts to 20 with a little help. She knows her colors and lots of shapes including square, circle, oval, rectangle, triangle, trapezoid, octagon, parallelogram, star, and heart. She's learning some letters too. She knows the letters in her name - L, I and Y. And she knows S, M, W, O and E pretty consistently.
She loves to sing and has been in a Christmas Carol phase lately! She regularly sings Silent Night, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Angels We Have Heard On High, We Wish You A Merry Christmas and Jingle Bells! She also loves Jesus Loves Me, Jesus Loves the Little Children, Oh How I Love Jesus, He's Got the Whole Word in His Hands, The B-I-B-L-E, If You're Happy and You Know It, Amazing Grace, The Wheels on the Bus and many more.
She quotes movies too! In the Veggie Tales movie The Toy that Saved Christmas there's a part where Bob the Tomato says, "Mousetrap! I wanted to play Mousetrap! You roll your dice, you move your mice. Nobody gets hurt." Lily says that whole line and it's hilarious! And in An Easter Carol there's a part where Bob says, "We've gotta find those plans. No plans, no Easterland." And another part that goes, "The factory! The chickens! It's all gonna blow!" She's been saying both of those lately. There are some other lines that aren't coming to me right now but we always get a good laugh when we hear her quoting one of her movies.
She is an absolute delight! I thank God often for blessing us with Lily! It's such a privilege getting to be her mommy.
