Lily (and Teddy) turn 3 today! It's been an eventful year. Lily's vocabulary has grow in leaps and bounds over the past year from simple requests of "more?" to "Can I have some more cookies please?". Lily welcomed her baby sister Emily last year with indifference but has grown to enjoy her. She can count to 13 and can identify the numbers out of order. Her ABCs are coming along (she seems confused about that happens between s and z but we're working on it!). She knows most of her colours and all her shapes.Along with everything else, Lily has developed a fierce defiant streak that we're hoping (and praying) is only a phase! But she's lovable and cute and the apple of our eye. Lily will most likely be starting pre-school in the fall (we're on a waiting list) so that will be a big adjustment but I'm sure she'll take it in stride as she's never been clingy to neither Jason or I.
Lily's party was a lot of fun. She had a blast in the backyard with so many little playmates and she was spoiled rotten. Thank you everyone for the presents. I'd send out Thank-you cards but with how the present-free-for-all went I have no idea who gave what!
