Lillie:

• She all about dress up, giving performances, and lots of pretending. She will walk up to you and introduce herself as all kinds of different people (popular names include Vanola, Cherry, and Ariel). I got her a microphone and some more dress up stuff. It's too cute. She dances, sings (her own made up songs!), and tells a joke for her performances. The joke is a knock-knock that consists of whatever she sees. (knock, knock...who's there...glasses....glasses who....glasses with a computer with a handband, with coffee, with a cup...hahahahaha)
• Plays well with M fairly often. They physically fight a lot these days. They really want to cause pain to one another, you can see it in their faces. It makes me crazy. When they aren't trying to kill each other, they laugh and laugh and call each other buddy. They play hide and seek, sing together, watch shows together, and go out of their way to include and be thoughtful to each other.
• She has mad skills at most physical things like riding bikes. She's still completely fearless. Willing to try just about anything, especially if she sees someone else doing it. (yes, I already fear for the teen age years).
• She's incredibly opinionated and isn't afraid to speak her mind. When people tell her to do something, she is not quick to simply just abide. Like if a kid on a playground tells her to do something or pretend like she's something, she usually won't. She either tells them that she doesn't want to or just walks off. The girl has some huevos, that's for sure.
• She seems to do a lot of testing on how far she can push people. Sometimes she tells people hurtful things to see how they will react. We have lots of talks about how our words make people feel and how to be respectful and truthful.
• Favorite color is still red although for a whole day it was pink!!!
• Keeps asking for a telescope for her next birthday. (just told me 6 times in the last 2 minutes, literally)
• Favorite book: Children's book of virtues,
• Other favorites: playing Angry Birds, matching game, playing with people's hair, most things "princess" or "ballet" related,
• Favorite Foods: carrots, pasta, corn, oatmeal, almost all fruit, broccoli
• Favorite songs: Lone Star, Lily (Matt Pond Pa),
• At last check up she is 38lbs and 38" tall. She wears a size 4 in clothes, and a 9 1/2 in shoes. She's REALLY good at any doctor/dentist visit, even LIKES to go.
