I sometimes stare at you and can't get over how beautiful you are. You have the most beautiful towheaded blond hair and we have NEVER given you a hair cut yet. You have the prettiest loose curls at the bottom. You always request an "Elsa braid" even though I like when you let me leave it down. You are also quite petite....easy to hold and squeeze.
Your best friend is still "BaBa." You can say Brenna just fine but 98% of the time you call her BaBa or Bubba. You two can definitely fight but have so much fun playing together. You give her big sweet hugs and really just love being around her unless she's in a mood or something.

Hippo and Pacy are also 2 of your best friends. You say these requests one right after the other. "Pacy...Hippo!" I told you that the pacy fair would be coming soon and your response was, "Ok, as long as she doesn't take my hippo."
I knew it got too quiet. Potty training was very easy with you. You would pee in the potty shortly after you turned 2 and by 2.5 you would poop in the potty too. You never had to wear pull-ups at night. I think you've had maybe 2 accidents ever. Even though you always got up so early, you have always gone to bed very easily for us for the most part. We tried to put you and Brenna in the same room in bunk beds this year but Brenna didn't like the feeling of being up top and I think she wanted her own space at night so we ended up putting the bunk beds in your room and you sleep on the bottom and the top is a little reading/play area.
One of the sweetest things was when you said goodbye to your crib, one last time: Saying goodbye to her crib. #bitteraweet
You aren't much of an adventurous eater. You eat a little bit all day but never really eat much at a meal.
You like playing with playdoh and lego duplo blocks. You LOVED any and all things FROZEN this year and you sang "Let It Go" and acted it all out every chance you got. At this exact moment, Frozen seems to be on the way out and you have discovered a love for Paw Patrol. You also go to Yoga sometimes with Brenna and even though the class is for 4-8 year olds you still participate sometimes and you'll come out and see me and maybe have a snack or a drink and then go back in and finish. You love demonstrating your handstand against the wall.
This summer you took a dance class which you loved. You were really good at following the directions and you loved dressing up each week. The one time Daddy took you though you cried and wouldn't go in. Not sure what that was about...I think you were just used to me taking you. We really enjoy going to story times at the library and going to ride the carousel.
You are a phenom on your scooter! When Brenna was playing tball, you'd bring your scooter to the ball fields and scoot around and then you closer to 2 than 3 and people would stare cause they couldn't believe how good you were. You and Brenna will race (you on scooter and her on her bike) and you can beat her! She does not like that but you do!!!
Instagram You are also an amazing swimmer and swim at the pool where Brenna dives a couple times a week. You can swim, float, swim thanks to ISR and we always go back every so often for a refresher lesson.
You also started school this past September at CEC. You were very comfortable the first week since you were so use to going there with Brenna the last couple of years. The second week was rough and you cried when I'd drop you off in the morning but you are used to it by now and I love hearing you sing all the songs from Chapel and your good morning song "Lily came to school today, school today, school today, Lily came to school today, we're so glad you're here."
Lily's First Day of Preschool!
I got out of the shower to this.... I love you, Lou Lou! Happy Birthday! The 2's were pretty great so don't be make it the terrible 3's ok? xoxoxoxox
