"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 […]
Fairy Correspondence
Lils has decided to continue her communications via email with the fairies… and she’s added Merida. I think Lily combines Merida (Brave) and her archery, brilliance, determination and fire with the fairies and their spirit and talent. Periwinkle went missing around Thanksgiving. Fairies depart and return at will around here, and we’re still never certain […]
Dreams
Lily says to me this morning, “I had a weird dream.” “Oh yeah?”, I responded. “Tell me about it….” “No.” ……………………….. “Ok. Why not?” “I don’t want to.”
Her Song
Russ wrote Lily a song, which he began before she was born, and concluded right about the time she was 10 months and started walking. He entitled it, “There She Goes”, to describe him watching her as she grew. Today, Lily wrote a song, which she entitled, “Here She Comes Back… Aww… I Love Her” […]
Fairy Octaves
I’m still working to complete this entry… but figured I should post it before I forget, as she’s already moved on to more development related to this topic. ________________ Lils sat down to the keys today with her baby doll, Vidia, and started to play. She focused on two octaves, c3 – c5, and […]
Self Directed? A Slight Bit Perhaps
Bugz has taken to dressing herself almost exclusively now. That generally means as some character either from her imagination or from some external source she’s taken a liking to. Today she was a purple wind fairy. She ate breakfast with us, and then disappeared to her room. About 40 minutes later, she emerged, dressed, and […]
All About October 18
Lily graced us with the privilege of sharing her memories of both the day she joined us on the outside, and while still inside. She shared many of her memories with me, just me, about 6 months ago. I wrote in detail then what she spoke, as I will now. To date, Lily has seen […]
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 […]
