Random blogging

Because I've been lax in my blogging recently and because nothing else is really going on, today's post consists of random bits of...stuff.

First of all, how about this adorable picture of Lily and Erik in their ties. No cute story. No funny explanation. Just a cute Fred Flintstone-ish tie that was just too cute not to share.

Second, I have to brag about how brilliant my child is. And isn't that really the point of any mother's blog and the right of every parent? I thought so. I'm sure every parent totally thinks the same thing about their kid, but mine's the real deal. ;) The other day, Lillian looked at my shirt (which happened to say Wal-mart) and said, " There are lots of A's on your shirt." I guess two is a lot to a two-year-old. But that's not the point. The point here is that she knew there were A's there at all. So I asked her to find each letter. AND SHE COULD. I was amazed. I guess I shouldn't have been since she's ALWAYS asking which letters are what while we read and she plays her ABC Zoo game online. And she's been singing the alphabet for while now. But she got every single letter right. All of them. Of course when I tried to show Erik, she got every single one wrong. But the other day, I let her tag along while I ran into the office for a bit, and while I put together some meeting materials, she played her game. When she got bored, I tried to drag it out just a little longer by asking her to find letters. Once again, she got them all right.

Erik and I, especially recently, are constantly asking each other if the average two-year-old should be able to do the things she's doing or if we are just easily impressed. Whatever the truthful answer is to that question, we're amazed every day at the little person she's becoming, and I'm looking forward to seeing her continue to develop.

My last random topic for this post is Lily's vocal performance debut:



Thanks, as always, for reading my ramblings. :)
