Not Quite Spring

We had a few days, almost a week, of amazing weather. It was beautiful and warm. Now it is just freezing! During the cold days I have been trying to keep Lilly busy. I recently started teaching her how to read. It is a very slow process, but I think she is catching on very quickly. We have also been reading a lot of books, doing worksheets out of her preschool workbook, and practicing writing our letters and numbers. She loves to learn and just soaks it all in.

 She loves to have someone color with her

Lilly has also been taking swimming lessons and ballet. Lilly's ballet class came to an end last week. She loves it so much and is excelling quickly. When she found out it was ending, she cried. So what did I do? I signed her up for another one. She wont have any friends in this class but she said that it was okay and that she would just make new friends. I love her attitude. She is such a different child than I was at her age.

 

Lilly has Joy School 3 times a week. One of those days they go on a field trip. Last week I taught and we learned about animal habitats. For our field trip I took the kids to a Children's museum in Maryland that has a fun animal room. They got to pet rabbits and hold lizards. Lilly was in heaven! She is such an animals lover.

Lilly saw this picture and said, "Oh, he is smiling at me!"

On the weekends we have been letting Lilly lay out on the couch and watch TV with us until she falls asleep. She is so sweet when she is asleep.

We are excited for the weather to start warming up again so we can get outside and run around!
