Ah Wan Bunny

Lily is growing up so fast. Today she picked out her own shirt for the first time. We were all sitting around in our PJs this morning. Lily saw the shirt she wanted to wear, picked it up and brought it to me. "Ah wan bunny." (literal translation- I want bunny.) I asked if she wanted to wear her bunny shirt. A huge grin spread across her face as she nodded furiously and said, "Yes!" She is very happily wearing her "snuggle bunny" shirt right now. It is however covered up by the life jacket she found and has decided to wear around the house. She is something else our Lily. She has been putting on her shoes at random times for no other reason than she wants to wear them. If she puts on her shoes and her coat she is definitely sending you a message that she wants to go outside. Once she gets her hat and mittens on you'd better be ready to hit the door;-) She loves going outside. We really enjoyed all the mild weather this week because she got to go outside and I didn't have to freeze!

Sometimes it's hard to keep up with her. She recognizes and says most of her letters now. She can count to ten and recognizes even more numbers in books. She often points out letters or numbers on signs. She now walks up and down the stairs on her feet. She can jump off the ground and do a forward roll by herself now. She amazes me every day.

I often get comments from people who have seen her in action with other kids. Most of them have to do with her not putting up with any funny business. She never really gets in trouble, but she does stand up for herself. At home it's a different story, she does get in trouble;-)
