At 3.5 Robin is funny, happy, goofy, sweet, and energetic. She is more reasonable but still coming out of the 3 y/o tantrum phase. Robin is very opinionated about what she wears and has her favorite outfits and favorite shoes that she rotates throughout the week (if a dress she wants to wear is dirty it is a BIG deal). Robin loves to play with dolls and ponies and has a very sweet temperament. She is happy and outgoing at school and loves her rock climbing and ballet/gymnastics classes. She is always making people smile. I can’t believe how much she has changed in 6 months. I am blessed to be her mom.
For her half birthday we baked cupcakes and Lilly helped us decorate them with pink frosting and pink sprinkles in honor of her favorite book, ‘Pinkalicious’ (which we read every night). Happy half birthday, Ro!

The girls had another sleepover at Nana and Boppa’s condo when they were in town last week. They had a fun time watching a Halloween movie, eating pancakes for breakfast, and going on a nature hike with Nana in the morning. Bill and I also had a great evening and an even better morning – sleeping in until 8am! Thanks Nana and Boppa!
I came across this today and found it resonated with how I feel about being a Mom to my 2 daughters.
In case you didn’t know, we adore this cat. She is loved and spoiled by all of us and we are loved by her in return. Charlotte is sooo incredibly sweet and patient with the girls, who often pick her up and carry her around the house or sit her down for tea parties or have her lay next to them to watch a tv show or ride around in the house on wheely bug. She sleeps with Bill and I every night (often on Bill’s chest) and wants to be around us at all times. Thanks for being such a dream cat, Charlie.
I had to share this. Lilly is becoming more and more self-directed regarding activities and projects that she does. Above are 2 of my favorite examples of her recent work. Last week we got home from a long day and she asked for a piece of paper. I was cooking dinner and a few minutes later noticed that she had a banana in one hand and yellow and brown crayons in the other – she was drawing a realistic portrait of a banana that turned out to be just that. Not a word from me, she just knew what she wanted to do and went to work.
The second photo is also very characteristic of Lilly. For several days in a row she would come home from school and go immediately to her bedroom for a few minutes. Then one day she brought out this box with random things inside and she told me she had been collecting them on the playground during recess AND STORING THEM IN HER SHOE so she could make a project out of them (flowers, hair tie, rock, sticker, pom pom, sequins, etc). Yes, even the large rock was stored IN HER SHOE the entire school day. She spent 2 or 3 days gluing the objects to paper, then decorating with drawings and watercolors. Yep, these are the things our Lilly does on her own time. And I think they are pretty extraordinary.
