Celebrating Easter



We had a wonderful time celebrating Easter with our family. I can't even count how many times we hunted for Easter eggs. This is my new favorite pasttime. I love to search for plastic eggs and see what's inside them. Sometimes there's candy; sometimes there's money! We enjoyed church on Sunday. I proved yet again I was a big kid by attending Kid's Kingdom all on my own. Lilly cried and had to go back with Mommy. I heard later that she helped Pastor Kevin with his sermon by saying "sorry" after he told the church to say you're sorry a couple of times. Everyone around Lilly laughed. I just love holidays. I can't wait for the next one -- which I hope is my birthday!

I'm a Big Girl now

I'm on my way to becoming a big girl. Today, for the first time, I pee-peed in the potty! I sat down to watch my Letter Factory video and while Mommy stepped away to get Lilly lunch I peed in the potty! Daddy & Mommy were so proud of me they took me later to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate. Unfortunately, on the way home I peed in my big girl pants. Oops! Well, it's a start anyway. Watch the video that Mommy put together of some funny moments from our trip today.

Lilly's first experience with school





Not the best pictures but these are the last moments in the house before Lilly headed off to her first day of "school." Ms. Kim, the director at Belle's pre-school, said Lilly could start attending on Fridays for Kid's Play with Belle. Lilly was so excited when I told her on Thursday that she threw her arms in the air and yelled, "yeah!"
On the way to school, I started getting nervous about whether Lilly would cry when I left. She was so excited to attend on Thursday but when we arrived at the church this morning I had to practically push her through the classroom door. She stood back and watched as Belle ran off immediately to play with toys and say hello to friends. Lilly cried a little, but Ms. Kim took her under her wing and started playing with her and she was fine. When Granny picked them up from school this afternoon, the girls were eating lunch. Miss Lisa, Belle's teacher, said to Granny boy she likes to eat doesn't she -- meaning Lilly. We had a good laugh over that. We'll see how interested Lilly is in school next week.

Spring is in the air





We all got outside today to enjoy the sunshine and warm air. How refreshing to be outside... to run and explore, slide and laugh. It was a welcomed break from the duldrums of winter! Here are some highlights from us frollicking in the sun today.
