3!

Lily is officially 3!  She is a spunky, independent little girl.  She LOVEs princesses especially Baby Aurora.  I am still not sure why sleeping beauty is now always referred to as Baby Aurora, but apparently it is very important not to leave the baby part of her name off.  We spent the week of her Birthday in Disney, meeting all the princesses we could find and occasionally riding some rides.  Lily's favorite rides were It's a Small World, Dumbo, The Magic Carpets, and Toy Story Mania.  She also loved the stroller ride it went wherever she was......  She got her hair did at the Bibbidi Boppity Boutique, making me wish I had done it sooner for Grace.  Lily got to eat Lunch at Cinderella's castle and dinner with Mickey.  She got to celebrate Halloween with Mickey and company and had a generally great time.
As for being three....
Ahem, well the potty training thing, is not working so well.  She seems to be a camel and able to hold her water until she stands up off the potty.  We had been doing really well with #2, but our long trip seemed to throw that off too.  I have bought the potty watch and we will be having boot camp probably over Thanksgiving.
Lily loves to do art.  She LOVES markers, crayons, PAINTING, she always want scissors but mommy is very nervous about that.  She loves playdough and using tools.  School has been a great avenue for her to showcase her love and talents and comes home daily with her "work".
Speaking of school, Lily goes to Ms. Jan and Ms. Jackie 3 days a week while mommy is working down the hall.  She has learned about God making the world, what is big and little, colors and numbers.  She has one little girl that she constantly talks about in the class and they take ballet together too.
Lily loves playing with dolls, the dollhouse, running around outside and playing Elmo on the computer.  She also loves reading books.  We usually read 2 books before bed and then she goes to bed with about 30 more.
Lily loves her ballet, but I think she is a tapper at heart.  She loves the fast paced music and the noise her shoes make on the floor.  Mostly she likes to dress up and dance around to the princess stories.
Next on her agenda will be swimming lessons.  She would love to be a cheerleader like her sister but I hope that is at least 3 years away, for now we have a friends old uniform to play in.

Well I think that is all I will add pictures soon.....
