She decided to be a nerd today, self proclaimed… The scientist, inventor has re-emerged, this time, a Lady in Red. Lily, er, Ms. Cecily, er, Lindsey, er, Merida….. Has developed a specific enjoyment and appreciation of that which she deems super scientifical, and beautiful. It’s amazing to see her develop this sense of herself. She […]
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, […]
Rainbow Patterns
“Rainbow patterns! This says rainbow patterns and I know cuz I can read big words… well some of them, but I can read little words.” For sure.
Lily gets her own breakfast
Oat O’s…. milk…. bowl, spoon… appropriate amounts, and no spills. Awesome dude. She can also wind up the vacuum cord, actually do the vacuuming, takes the clothes out of the washer and places in the dryer, dryer to hamper, and works with me to hang her clothes in her closet. And, we care […]
Pipeline, er Shower… OR, Turning Water into Air
Ok, so Lily is an inventor now. She’s also a scientist. Reader? Well, if it suits her, yeah… but don’t try to get her to read something you want her to. AND DON’T let her know you know she read something after the fact… way uncool. She’s picked up some new comebacks and comments of […]
Look It Up
This morning was full of firsts for Bugz. And to think, she spent the night with a fever… While we were making breakfast, she noticed a dead bug on the counter. I don’t know for sure what the insect was, or where it came from, but it was tiny and just sort of lying there […]
Creating Her Name
This morning Lily was playing with the letters on the fridge and decided to build her name. Her full name. Until today, I was unaware she knew how to spell Cecily. She’s been able to spell, read, and write Lily for the better part of a year now, but this is the first we’ve seen […]
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” […]
Reading "Books"!!
She has for months been in the mindset that she can “only” read words, not “books”. Well, today changed everything!! She read the following “books” independently, and enjoyed the animation, as well as the ability to control the story’s direction, in some cases. This is an awesome site for her at this moment of development, […]
