Lily’s latest discovery… a new bug to the region.
Is That Our CecilyBugz??
Lily heard the highschool marching band playing from our bedroom window this evening. She disappeared for about 10 minutes and returned like this! Formerly, she was in something that resembled Pippi and pj’s. She indicated she was “Ready to go see what they were doing!”, and was quite disappointed when she learned that they’d […]
Fossils, Tea Party Invitations, and Returning
Cecily made fossils with me today. She discovered what plaster can do, the unique properties of silica, and the term, “paleontologist”. She also discovered she could sound out the word, “bacteria”!!! Just so long as I didn’t pay any attention or realize she was doing it… Her level of development in the area of literacy […]
Lindsey, In Concert
Lily has decided to become Lindsey Stirling. For weeks she’s been carrying around her violin, everywhere, playing at will. She dances and plays, sings, and does whatever comes to mind, whether music is playing or not. She’s even held a few concerts, where she’s generated invitations and tickets, has guests come and be her audience. […]
Clothing Designer and Creator
Lils has recently decided she can sew and be like her grandma… she says she’s an awesome sewer. I reply that she is quite the seamstress. She responds, “Huh? Nope, I’m a sewer like my grandma.” Ok. ___________________________ So far, I haven’t managed to capture a pic of anything she’s created except this dress (er, […]
Merida & Fergus, CHING!!
"Those are musics, they sound like this…."
She decided to make a camera the other day. She harvested the Discovery Kids Tornado box, chopped and sawed, taped and glued, and ended up with a box that looks like the camera that Shawn (of the Shawn the Sheep) uses (90’s style video). She then decided to mount it, offering the explanation that she […]
BRAVE fille
Lily is sometimes Merida, sometimes Elinor as a bear, and today, she’s a little and nice version of Mor’du. She’s beginning to memorize the movie in French.. We ordered a How to Draw Brave Characters book, which has been in constant use since its arrival. First, she now knows what a character is… Second, she […]
Balance
“This thing is heavy, it’s trying to throw me off balance.” “Oh yeah?”, I questioned. “Yeah, it’s big.” “What can you do to compensate for the loss of balance?” “Oh, well, you just lean back a bit, like this (demonstrates).” 🙂 Apparently she knows what “compensate” means… On another thought, the other day, […]
About Lily's Thoughts…
From Cecily (papa tying her words) Russ Nixon <russ.nixon@gmail.com> 12/31/12 I have lots of magic words in my brain. I just love fairies. Every time I see a fairy, my heart grows bigger. Every time I see a new fairy, my heart grows bigger. Because I love fairies. Fairies are so cool. They are crazy boogers. […]
