Adventures

As you know, Lily has some friends from up the street. Sarah, Katie, and Lily are quite the little trio now. Sarah and Katie are more established with the other neighborhood kids and Lily has met others through them (including the infamous Cooper). They were playing outside today and Lily came by to ask us if it was OK for them to play in our backyard. Our backyard is very steep and wooded, so it is by no means toddler-friendly, but it is late-preschooler to early elementary friendly. The three of them have all kinds of pretend "adventures" back there. One of Lily's favorite activities is "building a campfire" where she makes a big pile of sticks. I'm not sure how she did it, but she has some sticks on her "campfire" that must be 4 feet long.

The other adventure today was dinnertime. We got some doughnuts this morning, but of course we don't eat a dozen among the three of us. I thought we could get Lily to eat her dinner tonight (quesadilla) knowing that she would not be able to have a doughnut tomorrow morning. She also has to wear pants the day after she refuses dinner. It turns out that she dislikes the meal so much that she is willing to go without doughnuts and she is willing to wear pants to church.

She's a tough nut to crack our Lily.

On a brighter note, Noah has started to use Cousin Brenna's exersaucer. It's pretty cute to see him try to bite all the toys on the rim.
