Lily tied her own bathrobe with absolutely no help! Oh, and the winter gloves are, you know, just in case…
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 […]
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!
Grids, Balls, Little Person, and Kitty Cats
Today, after getting what appeared to be a fairly decent night’s rest, Lily popped down for breakfast and started counting the fire makers (lighter sticks) in the package on the counter. She indicated, as she touched each, that there were a total of 5. Then she counted the ginger bread cookie cutters (4) and the […]
Squire Cecily Jane
Cecily loves Jane and the Dragon. She thinks she needs a dragon and she’s convinced she’s Squire Jane. She is now calling Russ, in a Old English-New Australian accent, “Gunther”… I however, as of yet do not have a name. Well, I do, I’m Nudah (Star Trek) and then Russ is Dayduh, but that requires […]
Friction, Fly Eyeballs, and Staring Contests
Today Lily learned that flies don’t have teeth. She also learned they spit on solid food to make it turn into a liquid, because their tongues are like straws. Flies don’t have stingers either, but Hobo Spiders bite. She was a Pest Investigator (see website – http://www.pestworldforkids.org/index.html ) We played all the games, which gave […]
Hair and Good Mornings
This morning, Lily awoke on her own and promptly began working on a project. Russ will upload in a bit. She picked out all the pieces and expertly placed them in her hair, both sides of her head, and on her jacket pocket. It took her about 15 minutes, during which she didn’t tell either […]
Profoundly Profound
Yep. And translucent essences too… We are in Denver, staying at an extended stay hotel while Russ works in Castle Rock this week and next. We have a 650sq ft 1 bedroom apartment, in which we are maintaining a dog, turtle, two adults, two violins, a guitar (mini size), three, no four computers, Rover, a […]
Dreams
Lily popped into our room this morning with a smile! Up on the bed, she announced, “I had a most wonderful dream!” I asked her to tell me a bit about it and she stated that it was just a yucky dream but then got better, and was most wonderful. Sometimes she will recall a […]
