When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

She's been busy!


So Lily has been SO busy lately!
She just runs in our family room back and forth back and forth!
She's gotten so tired of being inside lately. She gets so excited when I tell her to get her jacket, because she knows we're going outside!
Today I was cleaning the kitchen and she came in and grabbed the broom from me and went away at the floor. I hope that sticks! Yeah right!
She is becoming so funny! She'll tell you what certain animals say, such as the elephant, monkey, cow, snake, lion/tiger, dog and duck. A lot of times that's how she'll distinguish between the animals, it's so fun to watch her learn.
She loves the wonder pets, dora, and mickey mouse clubhouse.
She loves to get into the fridge, if she hears you open it, watch out she's coming!
She's obsessed with pushing buttons (obviously loves the lap top I'm on right now).
She's already starting to try and put her own shoes and socks on, she'll sit and try to do that for at least 20 min at a time.
As I've been sitting here typing this up she got into our cabinet and got out some cereal and brought it to me so I could give it to her. She's hilarious!
She LOVES to eat, if she has just eaten and you start eating, she'll still beg!
She's learning to CLIMB on things... not a big fan of that! I'll walk into the kitchen and find her on the table... not so fun for mom!

We love her! She really is the light of our lives! Lately she's been kind of ornery and I think it's a precursor for the terrible twos. But I'm just hoping it's a short phase...

fun fun! :) And if you keep letting her sweep, and tell her she's doing a good job, it will stick around for a while. Steven loves to do dishes and sweep, so I let him ;)
