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 […]
Of Christmas Past
Lily let me put the christmas tree away. 🙂 She did all of that.
Lily's Universe
Cecily loves her galaxy. Tonight, we observed the planets of our solar system hanging from her ceiling, with the Milky Way Galaxy projected behind them. Pretty awesome stuff.
Dealing with Death
Our neighbor’s wife died a couple of weeks ago; we found out at 4am this morning (neither Russ nor I could sleep – sick – and happened to get a late night email from our neighbor explaining the details). Tonight Russ went over to spend some time with our new friend and we tried to […]
Musical Instrument Recognition
Just in the last week or two we’ve noticed Cecily picking out more and more of the instruments she hears in music, on tv, and various other sources. About 6 months ago, she surprised us one day by informing us of two of the prominent instruments used in a song she heard frequently while riding […]

Another???
She has a bit of Angie in her after all… the skiing backwards thing was my forte. Lily developed the ability to assess the amount of time she had to “prepare” between loading and unloading, on the way up the hill. After a few runs, I think her perception of the carpet ride was that […]
Stickers & Helicopter Wings
Papa is sick. Mama isn’t much better for staying up too late with Papa, not to mention the little inhabitant in my chest. Bugs, however, is great! She is well aware of the sickies, and decided that Papa’s helicopter might be sick too. In her decision to provide care and nurturing to the helicopter, she […]
Planting Trees
Today, while Bugz was outside playing, she decided to plant a tree. I stumbled upon her project while routinely checking in on her play, after hearing silence for a bit too long. In her sandbox, Bugz had placed a tree branch, with about a dozen small branches attached. She was shoveling sand at the base, […]
Growing UP
Lily says, “I am growing up so big, yep I am!” She digs into what little makeup I have every once in a while, and she brushes her own teeth, brushes her hair, and will stand under the shower head and bathe herself, and dresses herself (quite skillfully I might add). Recently, Lily asked me […]
