BOYS!!!! Frederick County must have had a boom on boys! It cracks me up...almost every class or event Lily is enrolled in locally, she is the female minority. In daycare, this year she is the only girl. Last year...there were only two girls. In her first swim class tonight...again the only girl. In Sunday school...often she has been the only girl...but our friends have a daughter also...so sometimes they both are there! No wonder she loves dinosaurs, lions, sharks...
In other news, Lily started swimming lessons today. After trying to fit swimming lessons in this summer unsuccessfully, I am dedicating this year to swim education! She did great. I was actually a bit nervous for her because they start them out in the deeper end (4.5 ft) and encourage them to actually "swim" with their "bubbles". But she did great! I don't think she is feeling quite confident to float independently, but hopefully, after a few more lessons she will be!
She has been such a sweet girl. I so enjoy her! We have such a good time. She is active and friendly...and of course adorable! She has such a nurturing sweet soul...I wonder what she will decide to be in life...a vet? or a nurse? She loves animals and is friendly to everyone!

New experiences abound!
We just came back from a two-week trip to Denmark and Norway. Lily experienced so many new things in those two weeks. I loved seeing it through a child's eyes.
A few recent highlights
While waiting for the aircraft to leave Kristiansand, there was a group of religious people. One of the men was wearing a black cloth tied in the back to cover his hair. She said, "Look Mommy A PIRATE!"
Then yesterday when we were waiting to board the plane in Copenhagen, there was a woman dressed in a beautiful rich purple "dress" with the top of her head covered in an ornate gold and black scarf. She said, "Look Mommy, A PRINCESS!"
Lastly, my favorite, and one where I am quite glad she said it in Spanish..was when we arrived in IAD there was another religious woman dressed from head to toe in black, with just a small slit for her eyes. She said, "Fantasma", which means ghost in Spanish!
While in Denmark we saw the Little Mermaid statue. Lily went to look into the water and said, "Hey Mommy...look, mermaids!"
