Lilly is turning into a little firecracker more and more these days. I would say her two great loves in life are music & dancing and looking beautiful. She will actually forgo watching a movie in the car if it means listening to her favorite music, and she is always telling me to change the channel, turn it up, and stop talking so she can hear. Her favorite song is "Dynamite" which she calls "the hands up in the air song" or "diamond light." So for her birthday she got her own iPod nano loaded with all her favorite songs and will only take it off when we pry it away from her for the essentials, like bathing and sleeping. I'm not even sure she heard us singing Happy Birthday to her.
In her quest for girlyness, Lilly is always sneaking into my make-up and making herself "more beautiful." Once last week we were driving to preschool and she exclaimed, "Oh no! I forgot to put my lip gloss on!" Fortunately, her cousin and grandmother got her her own make-up kits for her special day. Now she looks glamorous wherever she goes and gets into my make-up a little less. She is thrilled to find that Barbie make-up kits actually have make up that shows up, unlike the Hello Kitty makeup kit I got her earlier, that is really just glitter disguised as lip gloss, eye shadow, and nail polish.
Lilly has also learned that it is fun to not only put make-up on herself, it's fun to make others equally beautiful. Case in point: she was having a play date with Calvin on her birthday and she helped him look extra pretty for the party.
All in all, Lilly got tons of girly spoils for her birthday - Barbies, princess canopy, sparkly suitcase, Ariel jammies, etc. I learned with Ava that one day her desire for all things pink and sparkly can end so I'm glad Lilly got to indulge while she's totally into it.
Happy Birthday Lilly! We love you!!!!
