Dressing Up

"Watch what I can do" - this starts pretty much every other sentence these days as Lily has many things to show us such as throwing a ball, doing a gymnastics trick, or some other trick she has created on her own. We are making every attempt to document the latest and greatest! :)

On Friday, Lily went to gymnastics and there was an enormous choo choo train moon bounce - Lily "bounced really high" and went down the slide "really fast." She also tackled the giant rope swing on her own.

On Saturday, Lily enthusiastically got dressed for a neighborhood Halloween parade - Lily had originally said she wanted to be a black cat but finally decided on a princess costume (which we already had, so it worked out well). The parade led to some fun games, including pumpkin bowling and three turns on the moon bounce. She also was able to meet some more neighborhood kids. Later in the day, we headed for a visit with Hayley and Cole - as always she had tons of fun! At one point, while at Baskins Robbins, Mom heard Lily asking Hayley to watch her cone (only cone, she doesn't like ice cream) for her and she got up and started to run for the bathroom - little miss independence - fortunately mom caught up with her! We forgot to take pics so check out Hayley and Cole's blog (link to the right) and there may be a pic of Hayley and Lily.

On Sunday, after a morning of errands, the rest of the day was spent playing in the basement and outside. Later in the day, Grandma Phyllis and Granpda Maurice came over for a visit and treated everyone to pizza! Mom and Lily are looking forward to a fun trip to a local farm tomorrow, and according to Lily she plans to ride a pony...you'll have to wait until next week to find out whether it actually happens!
