The Eye Trick

Lily Grace is really in to doing "tricks."  And if her trick should make you laugh or cheer her on, that's all the better.  Her tricks vary from standing on one foot to balancing things on her head.  According to her, most anything could be considered a trick.  

Well, when she shared the "Eye Trick,"  it was just too cute not to film.  It cracks us up and she loves that!

Lily

Lily Grace loves to draw and trace.  She is easily content to just sit and draw for long periods of time.  With that said, we have been doing a little highlight tracing with her name.  

Tonight after bath time, she went at it on her own.  She wrote her name all by herself and was all to happy to do it again for me in marker so it would show in the picture.

I would just like to point out that reversing letters (y) is developmentally appropriate at this age.  That is for all my friends and daddy, who would expect the teacher in me to mention that.  HA! HA!

Party Day!

Lily Grace hosted a Halloween party today.  She had four friends from her gymnastics class over to celebrate Fall and all that it brings.  Lily Grace has been soooooo excited that all she has talked about is "party day."  She even woke up during the night last night and when I went in to check on her, guess what she had to say?

Her friends arrived in their costumes and the giggles began.  They were all as cute as could be.  They enjoyed decorating a pumpkin and making their very own scarecrow.  A snack followed and the yummy choices were numerous.  Once tummys were full, costumes were traded for play clothes and off they went.  They had a great time playing dress up and numerous other things.  

Darby, who had been upstairs for the party, was asked to make an appearance by and so she did.  After being let out in the backyard, she found herself in heaven with five playmates.  Darby has always loved kids and today was no different.  She too had fun on party day.

Thanks so much to all our guest and for all the yummy food.  We had a great time and can't wait to do it again!  After all, who doesn't enjoy a "party day?"
