Fun things are going on here on Lookout Mountain. I witnessed Lilly playing with her kitchen and talking herself today which was really exciting. I have been waiting for the imagination to become obvious and there it was, a girl and her play frying pan. Lilly’s words have become a lot clearer too. People besides myself can understand her and respond to her needs or questions. It seems to happen so fast.
A regular request around the house is to paint. It is so fun to have her pick out a few paints, get apron-ed up, and paint the paper and her mouth and her hands and the floor….yikes! The part I don’t like is how quickly the painting lasts for all the work of setting it up but it’s worth it to see her artistic side being nurtured.
We’ve been working on Lilly’s understanding of being a big sister and having a baby in mommy’s belly. She can almost say sister and she points to her belly button when we talk about the baby but I am not quite sure it makes since. As I blossom into a massive human being, things might get clearer. We are working on potty training and soon we will work on getting out of the crib so that we are diaper free when baby is born and so we can use the crib eventually. I think the crib is going to be tough but we will see.
LOVE the sunglasses pic. So glamorous! She is such a cutie…and hard to believe she’s getting so big! Lydie will be there soon!
