On Friday, Lily had her first gymnastics class, she absolutely loved it and cannot wait to go back. Grandma Gail and Aunt Tracy came to watch, and Lily was so proud of all of her moves! After gymnastics, a special delivery arrived with Lily's new bedroom furniture including her big girl bed! Friday night, Lily went to sleep pretty well in her new bed. About an hour after she had fallen asleep we heard a small cry and a thump. We ran in and she was curled up in a ball fast asleep on the hardwood floor. Of course Mom immediately thought she must have a concussion and frantically woke her up but Lily just gave a few grunts as if to say 'Leave me alone, I'm sleeping.' Thus, all was fine! Essentially, we just had a malfunction with the bed bar which we had quickly put together, but it was easily fixed and we have had no further falling incidents. Lily also woke up a few times on Friday night, unrelated to the fall, but since then she has slept like a champ, and is definitely taking advantage of all of the room of her double bed i.e. she rolls all over the place!
On Saturday, we celebrated Lily's birthday with Grandma Gail, Grandpa Tom, Grandma Phyllis, Grandpa Maurice, Hayley, Cole, Mr. John, and Ms. Michelle - the theme was dolphins and Nemo, and we had lots of fun eating "dolphin" cake and jumping from one activity to the next in the freshly painted and organized basement, and playing on the swingset and with her new batting tee outside.
On Sunday, we got to enjoy some time playing with some of the birthday presents, and then had dinner with friends Chris & Kristen who anticipate having their first child any day now!
Monday brought the actual birthday, and Lily shared some cupcakes with her friends at school. Although Lily was initially very shy when someone sang the happy birthday song to her (see video below), as of today she was singing happy birthday to herself and enjoyed all of the many singing phone calls! Enjoy the pics!
P.S. Speaking of birthdays, Lily wants to send out birthday wishes to Cousin Stephanie who is celebrating a birthday tomorrow!
