And then you were three...


Lily turned three in May. She's grown into this fabulously spirited little girl. She's feisty and full of life. She loves telling me how happy she is and she gets terribly distraught if she gets even mildly scolded. She constantly tells me "you were wrong and I was right". She disagrees with almost everything I say but repeats back all that I tell her as if it was her own idea. She loves her dog Cara and her various stuffies. She's obsessed with her dolls, her trains, her blocks, and her playdough sets. She loves to put her dollies to bed and she loves to push them around in a baby stroller. She's already gone through a period of wearing only dresses and frilly pink clothes. Camping is her favorite summer activity and she's thrilled to hang out with her friends. She's still a little shy and often takes awhile to warm up to large group of people (just like her daddy!). Her favorite supper is tacos but she's almost equally obsessed with Spolumbo's sausages. She loves to help her daddy downstairs and she cries when he leaves for work before she gets up in the morning. She takes books to bed every night to 'read' before she falls asleep (just like her momma!). She loves blowing bubbles and playing in her sandbox. She has a strong sense of right vs wrong and she's a fairly stringent rule follower.  She's thrilled when she gets to talk to her aunt and her grandparents on the com"puter" but she's happiest when she's outside with Scott and I. Three year olds are both a blessing and a challenge but they sure are amazing to watch develop.
