I have to say life with a 3.5-year-old while at sometimes is a challenge...is oftentimes the very best! I am totally loving the 3-year world!
The other day Lily had dressed herself. She wore her favorite yellow plaid SUMMER dress, with flowery pink leggings, and a bright turquoise sweatshirt. We were walking in the mall and she was spinning and singing the hippopotamus for Christmas song at the top of her lungs.
Although I tell you I can't believe how much she has changed in just one year. The other day we were at the library for the time for 2's which we used to go to last winter when she was two. But the other day she seemed so much bigger than those kids....she was even bored or disinterested and wanted to leave...I guess she didn't like all those "babies".
She also is really developing a love of "reading" She loves to "read" the books to me. She has many sections of many of them memorized. Her current favorites are Apples on Top and Put Me in the Zoo.
One last note is Eve. She has read the creation story of Adam and Eve. But frequently she gets mixed up. The other day she told her daddy about Mary and Steve. This evening at the dinner table we were talking about Christmas Eve and she exclaims, "I know that story." So she brings her bible over to the table and we expect her to open it up to the Christmas story, but no she opens it up to Adam and Eve. Love it!

Life through Lily's eyes
Recently Lily and I have had some interesting conversations...
The other day she said she wanted to get married. First I asked her who she wanted to marry. She first said Mommy, but I told her I was married to Daddy. She then said Daddy, but we told her that he was married to Mommy. So she said she wanted to marry a skunk!
Today she and I were talking about boys and girls. Identifying who was a boy and who was a girl. For example is mommy a boy or a girl? Anyway, after several correct identifications, I asked her how she knew that some people were girls and others were boys. She said boys have cut hair and girls don't have cut hair.
Lastly, after a temper tantrum today because she was not the center of the universe for 30 minutes, she asked me to dry the raindrops from her eyes:)
