Growing And Growing

Lilly had her three-year-old wellness check-up on Wednesday. We switched pediatricians and we're SO happy that we did. Lilly loved the nurses and the doctor made Lilly feel so at ease. When she got her flu shot she just sat there and didn't even flinch. Afterwards, I asked Lilly if the shot hurt and she said, "No, it kinda tickled". That's typical Lilly for you, there's not much that can get her down. We found out that she's in the 90th percentile in height and 75th percentile in weight--one big girl!

Lately, Lilly has been VERY curious about where things come from and how things are made. She is constantly asking me "Where does broccoli come from?", "What are socks made of?", "How are noodles made?", "Where does paper come from?", and on and on and on. We have checked out some books at the library that have helped. She is such a little sponge, just soaking up everything she can.

And I just have to share one more story - today Lilly saw a picture of the Salt Lake Temple and we had the following conversation:

Lilly: "There is the temple."
Me: "Ya, thats the Salt Lake Temple. That is where mommy and daddy got married."
Lilly: "Did I get married there too?"
Me: "No, but when you get older and find a really nice boy you can get married there too."
(Lilly thought about that for a moment...)
Lilly: "Hey I know, I will marry daddy and you can marry some other guy. Don't worry we'll find you someone."
