There is a playground around the corner from our new house. None of the playgrounds around here swings, which is a bummer, but we make due. If Lil really wants to swing we can go to one of the schools that are pretty close by.
I don't know where she got the thumbs up, but this was a totally natural shot. I love it.

We wanted to go to the zoo one last time before we moved and we wanted to take Olivia again because of how much fun Lily and Livi have been having together. I started to worry that we weren’t going to be able to go because Waldo couldn’t take the time off of work, but Jolene (my Sister) could. Yay.
I don’t think Livi gets why Lily loves the statues so much.
We timed it just right so that we could feed the giraffes again.
I really thought she was going to do it, she’s done it before.
Lil was NOT into it this time.
We saw a peacock time time. Because the peacocks roam freely around the zoo it’s very hit and miss whether or not you see them.

The Grizzly Bear usually just sleeps the whole time, but today he was almost putting on a show for us.
That was enough. Nap time.
The girls were watching the camel. After they walked away the camel got in his little watering hole and splashed himself. It was kind of neat.
Our Mom meet us at the zoo after a while.
I think Lily was tired of smiling.
We stopped by the elephant and orangutang before we headed out.
See the baby? He’s getting so big.
This is the first time we’ve ever seen the baby venturing out on his own.
Mama wasn’t far behind.
Grandma Gail (GG) kissing Lily bye bye.
I’m so glad that we were able to go to the zoo one last time and I’m definitely glad I was able to spend time with my sister, niece and Mom before we left. It wasn’t enough time, but it was a lot of fun. I miss you all so much!
Like a lot of kids I’m sure Lily is always trying to get our scissors. She sees us using them and wants to try. Of course we take the scissors away and try to explain. When all of the school supplies started popping up at Target I noticed a set of kids scissors and grabbed them. I think they are labeled for 3 or 4 year olds, but I’m a rebel and got them for my 2 1/2 year old. Because of the move and whatnot the scissors have been in my craft tub for a month or two. Well last week I got them out and Lily was so excited to try them.
I didn’t have to give her much instruction. I think she’s been paying attention when we use them because she pretty much knew exactly what to do with them.
She is mostly doing single cuts so far.
I tried to show her how to make one cut after another to you know cut the paper in half or something, but she is much more into fringe right now.
In the week or so that we’ve had the scissors in our lives, we’ve had many “cutting days” (her name for it) and she’s progressed from just fringe to confetti.
OMG the small triangles, they are all over the floor. I think they might be taking over the world.
I drew two big clouds on Lily’s easel paper and she said “I like your clouds”
I said Thank you and suggested she draw a rainbow over the clouds or rain drops or a sun.
“Rain is hard on me”
“oh”
“I only draw circles” And she proceeds to draw circle after circle.
