Easter

Henry quickly picked up on the egg hunt! I think he did 5 of them including school! And for the guy that has trouble annunciating he got egg down quickly. Possibly we should put a piece of candy inside everything we want him to say.

Levenworth

We were lucky to make a few trips to Levenworth this winter - skiing- wine tasting- petting zoo and of course bowling. Thanks to Lisa - Erik - Nathan and Anna! These are a few highlights!

Ballet

Lilly has been dying to know about ballet and dance! We signed up at the community center. After 10 weeks, she is ready to try something else. She does like to dance and recently has been doing recitals for us! Trying to involve Henry of course!!

Our BIG GAL is 4!!

Lilly is officially a preschooler. We are having a great time with her. The terrible 3's are over! The tantrums were rough! Lilly is a very emotional child - at times it was tough for her to deal with all the emotions of a 3 year old. Few things that we love.
1.) Lilly loves Henry. She has started reaching out to him more to play- read to him and watch over him. She gives him loves - during his tantrums.
2.) Lilly is learning how to be a friend - she has a great group of girl friends at school- who are all quite bright- but at times can be a bit "verbally" rough on each other. She is learning how to talk without hurting feelings.
3.) Lilly has started to read- the Bob books of course. She is very interested in reading and writing.
4.) Lilly loves to try anything - cooking- t-ball - swimming- ballet.
5.) Lilly is very inquisitive. She ask more questions than anyone. At times - even her mom can be overwhelmed with the question. She is really trying to learn!
6.) Her "friends" are a big part of her life- real and stuffys. The stuffys include Donald (or otherwise known as Dunald by Lilly)- Minny- Micky- Tigger and Bitty (of course). Dunald somehow always gets into trouble. We learn so much about school and the residents through her school time.
7.) Lilly loves special time- one on one with her parents. This can include working on number- letters - reading or games. She is learning that she cannot always go first and not always win.
8.) Eating and cooking are some of the favorites- for all of us!
9.) She an artist! We pick her up at school and she has at least 5-10 pieces of new art from school each day.
10.) She is our big girl! We are constantly amazed with her loves - her smiles -her questions. And we don't want her to grow up!
