Well, the summer of being home together is coming to an end. I think both Lily and are ready to separate and begin new routines. The last few weeks have been fun though as Lily has been getting in touch with her Native American "Indian" roots thanks to Pocahontas! We have talked at length about what type of Mayan Indian she is (Quiche) and what type of Native American Indian Pocahontas was (Powhatan). She has the image from the media she has been exposed to of being strong like an Indian. She told me the other day that she was "strong like
an Indian". She is frequently found wearing her beaded headband and wielding a sword for example: a wooden stick she found outside or a kitchen curtain rod that we recently took down. She also speaks "Indian Spanish" a creative language invention of her own. So far we have learned 3 of her words: farewell, love, and die, all done with hand motions.
Lily has also been found to mimic mannequins in the shopping mall. Many times while in a store, I will turn around and find Lily has climbed up on the platform to be right next to the faceless or headless mannequin and assume the same exact pose! Very cute! Today however I realized that I better get on my knees praying...We were walking through the mall and Lily said, "Hey mommy look"....when I turned around to look she was imitating the pose of the Victoria's Secret model...it was very funny....but like I wrote on Facebook...I am going to ramp up my prayer life in regards to Lily!
Lastly, Lily has spent the summer, coloring and cutting up a storm! Yesterday at IKEA I bought her an art easel with her very own roll of paper. Maybe that will stop her from taking all our computer paper:) Anyway, I must say I was really proud of her masterpieces. I am really excited she will be able to take art class in school this year!
