Yesterday we endeavored to create a theatre for Lily to direct a few scenes with the Yo Gabba Gabba crew! I think it took me probably 3 hours to get it all together, but once complete, she had 4 lands/scenes and 5 characters. She instantly started assigning which characters belong in which land. She had […]
Her Evening Canopy
She’s learning about the pictures and art in our night sky. We use a projector and software called Stellarium. Tonight she talked with Russ about the consistency and makeup of the planets. Russ would you please add some detail to her descriptions of planet specifics?

Then & Now And Now… She started spontaneously singing this, along with the dialog that follows. I tried to encourage her to give me a little more footage, but discovered singing in a whisper is well, I sound like I’m 6. AND she copies me (on the quiet factor). But, hey, it was worth it […]
PooPayPahSay
Lily has taken to ballet. She has spent this week telling me about her poopaypahsay (that would be _________ + passé). The trouble is, I can’t figure out what she’s saying. Poupée is French for a doll (or toy babydoll, etc) and I can’t figure out how the two are associated with each […]
Great, Great Grandma Forbes Wears Again!
Grandma & Grandpa (Russ’s side) gave Lily a sweater this Christmas that came from deep within the family. Mary Forbes made Russ a sweater many years ago and now, Bugz is wearing it. She is aware that Papa’s great grandma made it for him, and her rationalization was, “So, it’s really old”. She comprehends the […]
Planetarium, Parks, and Boxes
Lily, Russ and I are going to Lily’s first ever trip to a planetarium Friday. The last time Russ and I went to one was a few months before I got pregnant. I think she will be in heaven (we’ve waited this long so that there wouldn’t be any fear of the dark/big). She and […]

Asserting & Developing
Lily loves Madeline (the movie with real people – she hasn’t seen the cartoons yet and probably won’t like them as much if she does). I put on Eloise after Madeline today as I thought she’d like that too (sleepy bug, moping around, heh – movie afternoon). She insisted she didn’t like it (though never […]
EarWings
“I want some earwings, so my ears can fly!!” This, after looking through a catalog that came in the mail, which, apparently had some earrings on display that she liked. 🙂
For Pose To
Yep. We are for pose to do exactly that – ask her, she’ll tell you what. 🙂
