She's 3!

Happy Birthday, Lila!

 

Here's a list of things I know you are dying to know about her:

~She is finally going to nursery!  There is only Lila and one other girl in nursery in our ward here, and she's totally loving it. She walks right in while blowing kisses to her dad, and that is nothing short of a miracle. We didn't even realize that her whole problem in our other ward was that there were too many kids and it was really chaotic. (She lives in our house, for heaven's sake!  How could she be scared of chaos?)

~Her favorite show is Little Einsteins.

~She is the most observant kid I have ever met.  If she has been somewhere a couple of times (like the park and the farmer's market), she can tell you how to get there. She started that when she was about 2.  In Texas, no matter where we went, we usually had to drive by Jeremy's job site.  She could tell me when we were getting close to daddy's "oppice" (office), and which side of the road it was going to be on.  When we would turn a different way, she would ask, "Why are we going this way? This is not the way!"

~She loves to go to bed.  I know I've mentioned this, probably several times, but I love having a good sleeper.

~She is one size smaller than Paige.  When Paige grows out of something, we just move it to Lila's side of the closet.  They are 4 years apart.  It's a little funny because she's not a great eater, she just drinks about a gallon of milk a day.

~She loves Paige and wants to do everything the same.  We had to get Lila all of the same birthday presents as we got Paige.

~She loves Polly Pockets and Hot Wheels.

~She loves to cut paper into one of two shapes: an "L for Lila", or a gun. 

~I just remembered another story about a gun.  She got a little play gun in a Happy Meal and was beside herself excited that she could finally go hunting with dad because she had her own gun.

~Most days she wants to go by the name, "Icee". (???)

~We love our Lila May!!!
