Open Your Eyes

A long weekend spent with Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom has come to an end, as Mom and Dad returned from a trip to Florida - congrats Tara and Ted on your wedding.

Wednesday night we trekked to GG>'s for the night as Mom and Dad had an early flight out. The fun began at about 8am Thursday morning (yes, of course she slept in for GG>) and went full force until Sunday night. Lily spent a lot of time playing in the backyard on the swings and with the 8 neighborhood kids (yes, all one family) who live behind G&G - as Lily describes it she was "playing with the kids." She also visited with Great Yellow Grandma on Saturday. Not too many pics as GG> were busy chasing Lily around.

She is doing well with the potty, talking in full sentences, while asserting her independence. She would prefer if she could do everything herself without any assistance - put on her clothes, brush her teeth, go to the potty, buckle herself into her car seat - i.e. "no Mommy, I do it." Tonight while Mom was watching Lily attempt to buckle herself into her carseat, Lily said "Turn around!" - oh the joys of having a 2 year old!!

In other news, we have a contract pending on a single family home, and as of right now, we plan to move at the end of June. Although we are very excited to move, we will be very sad to leave Lily's school, where she has been since she was 4 months - we are currently searching for a comparable replacement and expect Lily to adjust rather quickly - it may take Mom a little longer. Will keep you posted on the latest...enjoy the few pics we have!

Love the action on the tricycle (pretty snazzy bike!)...good bilateral gross motor co-ordination (the Early Childhood training)....good preparation for left to right reading and writing skills...later........
