August already!

I can't believe August is already here! Where did the summer go? I had been hurrying along the summer so we could be in our new house, and now I want that month back! School meetings have officially started and the kids come on Wednesday. I have been working in my classroom a lot, (probably too much!) and am finally getting close to their arrival.

This summer has been so much fun with Lily. We have been able to spend a lot of time together. She is so smart and hilarious! Here are just a few things that I wanted to write down so I don't forget!


Lily says bathtub - tubub
T.V. - TB
banana - babana

*Her favorite song is "Single Ladies" and her favorite color is pink.
*She says her favorite food is pizza and cereal and then she asks "What is your favorite food, Mommy?" She has become such a conversationalist. She is definitely a thinker and its cute to watch her think.
*She has about 5 songs she can sing by herself (Sunshine, Twinkle Twinkle, ABC's, Jesus Loves me, Itsy Bitsy Spider).
*We are amazed every time we listen to the radio, because she knows a lot of the words to the songs.
*Her favorite cartoon is Mickey Mouse.
*Lily's hair is almost to the middle of her back and beautiful!
*She can count 1-13 then she says 20!
*Lily now can show you the numbers 1-5 on her fingers. It took me awhile to teach her the number 2.
*Lily writes her name (kinda) with 5 straight lines next to each other.
*She can draw a circle.
*She knows all of her colors and loves to match things that are the same color.
*Lily now can reach the peddles and rides a tricycle.
*Lily loves to ride the jeep!
*She has a wonderful memory. We were on 16th and Webb and she shouts "Our Old House!" We were shocked that she remembered that.
