Daddy's Shoes

Yesterday Lily decided that only wearing her new shoes was boring. To spice it up a little, she decided she wanted to wear my shoes on top of hers. Thankfully, she didn't try and walk in them, but she thought it was hilarious to put them on her feet.

Helping Around the House

Lily has taken a liking to helping us around the house. We haven't assigned her to many chores yet (taking out the trash is still Dad's responsibility). In the last couple of days, Lily helped us make dinner:

"These bread crumbs are tasty!"

and bring paper towels up from the basement...

"Is it okay if I take a break? These are awkward to hold."

Lily also enjoys helping make salad. She loves to sit on the counter and rip the lettuce leaves into small pieces and put them in the salad bowls. If you have any chores you need help with, let us know.

New Wheels

We have been a bit delinquent in posting lately (where did March go?), so here are some pictures from last weekend when Grammy Cookie visited. Do you like my new wheels, because I sure do!

"Grammy and Mommy are good at putting things together!"

"Can I help with the tires?"

"This is so much easier than walking, why doesn't everyone drive?"

Pretty Bracelets!

After playing with her stacking rings last night, Lily realized that the 2 largest rings fit on her wrists. Then she proceeded to walk around the house with them. Here's a video of her dancing with her pretty bracelets.

"These bracelets are the coolest!"

We made hamantashen with the Krakowers this weekend, but we didn't do any poppy seed so Grammy sent us some. When they arrived this afternoon I thought Lily and I would share one as a snack. But Lily didn't want just part of it - she wanted the whole thing. I let her have it because I didn't think she would like the poppy seed filling... I was wrong.

"I am so NOT giving this back."

Playing at the Park

We recently found out about a park that has a lot of equipment that is toddler sized. Yet only 1 non-big kid swing... Anyway, it was really nice this weekend, so we went! Here are some pictures from the park:

"I love going down the slide!"

After Lily moved all the beads to one side, she sold me some lemonade.

"Playing at the park makes me thirsty. Thanks for bringing my water, Mommy."

"When you're tired from all the walking around, its good to have a Daddy that will carry you to the car on his shoulders."

Snow Day! (with actual snow this time!)

Last night we got 6 inches of snow. Not shockingly, I did not have school today. No, Lily did not go play in the snow. We never got Lily a pair of boots or mittens (not that she'd leave them on) and it was 20 degrees out anyway. But she seemed mildly interested in it through the window so I scooped some up for her to play with in the kitchen. Overall, she really wasn't that interested. This is also the kid who dislikes playing at the sensory table at daycare when they put applesauce in it because she doesn't like to get her hands dirty. :)

We also nod yes now. I find this hysterical.
