Potty Sticker Story

No pictures again. I feel a little odd taking pictures of Lilly on the potty but she was really funny with her potty last night.

We got her a couple potty books to read while sitting on her potty. One of the books has stickers in the back. We thought it would be a good combo, she loves stickers and is very into sitting on her potty.

But after she used her potty we cheered for her and gave her a sticker. She very excitedly took her sticker and immediately used it to wipe her bottom and dropped it into her potty. Stickers might not be the best choice for reinforcement but she sure has the wiping thing down!

Recent Anecdotes

No pictures, just some silly things Lilly has done recently.

In the car during nap time it was too bright for Lilly so she tried to block her eyes with her arms and hands. After much frustration she put her blankie over her head to help her fall asleep. She was just a pile of blankie with pacifier smacking sounds under it.

On Sunday we went for dinner at happy hour time. Lilly was her usual social and happy self visiting with everyone around us. Before we knew it people sent Lilly a basket of fries over. They thought she was cute and would enjoy some fries and she DID (with plenty of ketchup).

Writing Her Novel

Lilly is very into writing with pens lately and she prefers to write in little booklets. She will write and write for long periods of time often moving around trying to get comfortable. She takes it very seriously and doesn't like to be interrupted. We think she will be right handed and already has a good pencil grip. Now we have to stock up on booklets because she is going through them pretty quickly and has so much to write about!

One of her favorite spots to write is on our laps. Here she is cuddling with her Daddy while she writes some important thoughts down.

Coloring Like A Big Girl

Lately Lilly is very into coloring and writing with pens. So far she is right handed and even holds her pen the right way most of the time! The other day she started laying on her tummy to color in her coloring book with her feet crossed in the air. Sometimes I can't believe what a big girl she has become!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!! Here are some pictures of Lilly as she made Valentines for family, friends and daycare classmates. We hope you all have a lovely Valentine's Day!

Wild Hair

After we took Lilly's hair out of pony tails she had some wild and crazy hair!

After awhile of us laughing at her very cute crazy hair she tried to get it to lay down.

Flashback Friday - Fun with the Rogers' boys

A few weeks ago we got together with the Rogers. At the end of the night all the kids were cuddling/ wrestling on the chair. Moments after the second picture Lilly fell off and bonked her head but in the moment they were having fun and they are pretty cute pictures.

Pile of kids on the chair.
