Lilia Lately

• My gorgeous girl is 2 and a half going on 18. She told me today, "Mommy I'm a big tiny little girl." She thought that qualified her for using scissors ;)

• She makes me laugh so much. Her vocabulary is larger than I could have imagined at this age. She understands and remembers things I couldn't have expected her to and she is such a performer. She pretends to be sad and searches for a mirror to watch herself "cry", she tells me silly things to make me laugh. Yesterday she came in the room with 2 skinny pretzels stuck up her nose while smiling. Of course I told her we don't put things in her nose and as she walked away I quietly laughed.She begs me to take her to dance school.
  

• She asks everyone "where's your baby?" (single people find that very odd) Lily loves Max and frequently hugs him while saying "Hi baby sister." She keeps confusing who's the brother and sister in that relationship.
  

• She is amazing at folding clothes and wants to help do everything! I will not squelch that, I want her to help me!
• She likes trying to teach me how to do things and give instructions. She even tries to tell us when we've done something wrong "mommy, that is so bad! you in trouble!"(that doesn't fly)
  
• She's amazing at potty and I'm saving a fortune not buying diapers for her :)
  

Lilia Sue

She's our love bug and here is a tribute to her!

she loves to help in the yard clean up

no this is not lily, but she took this photo of her best friend Nina! She steals my camera and goes up to people saying, "Mommy say 'Happy Halloween'." and then takes your picture. she's actually pretty great!
Proof she's a born performer. These are her dollies set up as her audience. she even tells them to clap and at the end she bows and says, Thank you very much!
Her newest fascination is with the cd player. she has her own copies of all her favorite Disney cds and plays them and changes between them often (too often). She's learning all the words to all the songs!
She's been asking to go to the jungle, meaning the zoo. we went and her favorite animals are the snakes, lizards, and crocodiles. Is that normal?
new favorite activity- storyhour at the Margate Library! The lady is amazing and the timing is perfect, just before dance school! They played with ribbons, sang songs, bubbles, marched, puppets, and stories. So fun!
She insisted on dressing up while watching a luau mickey mouse club house.
Brother and Sister loving each other! It melts my heart!
