Yes, that’s correct. Only mine and Lily’s memories will hold this experience visually.. I didn’t actually expect she’d get to do anything but glance at it from the car, so I didn’t grab the phone. I walked outside this evening after a helicopter flew over our house, so low that I assumed someone was in […]
Dimensions and Temperature
Lily explained that she was just the right size, she thought, to fit in the sunbox. She decided to find out. Then, she began with different amounts of her body in and out of the box. We talked about portions, fractions, and dividing her body into segments. Finally, we talked about the temperature range in […]
All Tied Up!
Lily tied her own bathrobe with absolutely no help! Oh, and the winter gloves are, you know, just in case…
Writing
We went to breakfast this morning; Lily was given a color sheet by the waitress. She seemed very interested in the activities on the sheet, and deciding what she wanted to eat. She spent some time coloring in the various items presented, and then she decided to write on the “plate” (part of the coloring […]

Mama! I Can Do It (so, take your finger away and hush)!
Lily and I were reading before bed tonight and she did something she hasn’t done before; Lily insisted I not assist her in reading. She pulled my fingers from the words, put her fingers to my mouth, and told me to shhh and let her do it. Listen to the video (I didn’t want to […]
Tree Climbing Freedom
Lily discovered this week that she can, without assistance, climb the tree in our front yard. What sort of tree is it? Well, it looks like an Evergreen with dreads. I haven’t a clue.. but it’s fun and has lots of low branches. Some images of then and now, along with some pics of her […]
BOT
“Buh, ahh, tuh” “What’s that spell?” “Bot” “What letters make the word ‘bot’?” “Beeee, ohhhhh, ppeeee” “Those letters make ‘bop’.” “Oh, oh, oh, beeeeee, ohhhhhh, tuhtuhtuhteeeeee.” “Yep.” Lily is generating/spelling words both tangibly (like with fridge letters and foam, etc..) and virtually (abstract). In the last week, she has begun to decide to read […]
Creating Words
Last night Lily decided she needed to build a word. “I can do it.”, proclaims a dancing goofball. She wanted to make my name, and did so on her own, for the first half anyway. Then, after a moment of playing with her fridge word builder, she decided to make the word “bed”. She located […]
Big Meadows Reservoir hike
A few days ago, the three of us hiked around Big Meadows Reservoir, west of South Fork, Colorado. Her immense love for the flowers was delightful. The endless curiosity is admirable. We shall go back and discover more soon!
