Boogie Shoes

Well it has been over a week since we put into place 'Operation No Pacy.' Bedtime is going really well, she appears to have adjusted, and her new routine is hugging her blanket and baby before going to sleep. Naptime is a different story - she naps great at school but napping at home has been a bit more problematic - sometimes she naps well and other times she will scream/yell/talk for anywhere from a few minutes to close to an hour before she finally gives up - Saturday it was pretty close to an hour before she finally went to sleep. But overall, 'Op No Pacy' is going well.

This past week, Lily worked on her 'double super secret' Mother's Day present, and gave it to Mom on Friday. As reflected in the pics below, one of Lily's shoes was bronzed (painted) in gold and presented in a beautiful bed of flowers!!

Saturday we had dinner with Grandpa Maurice and Grandma Phyllis, and got in a little pre-dinner swing time on the playground in their backyard.

Sunday, prior to breakfast at the local diner, Lily presented Mom with a Mother's Day present of a collage style picture frame, and Mom even managed to have pictures printed, and the frame is already hanging in the house - very impressive on Mom's part, especially based on the fact that Mom has yet to create an album for Lily, much less a wedding album...

Lily has another top tooth that has come in and it looks like another one is ready to break through. She is very responsive now to "Hi" and "Bye" and likes to disperse kisses on the lips or cheeks, and also likes to blow kisses. She also likes to clap her hands and stomp her feet while listening to Raffi, Jack's Big Music Show, or when Great Auntie Donna breaks into song on the telephone...

Enjoy the pics!!
