I can't believe I have been too busy to post about our big girl, Lucy! She measures age by height, so she thinks she's really tall now.
We celebrated with a small group of people, outside- ya know, pandemic style. We were so lucky to bring Kim from Common Cups and Cones to our driveway to serve her amazing ice cream, complete with sauces and toppings!! Lucy was so impressed and just amazed that we could bring an ice cream store to our house!
She is very lucky little girl! We were so glad to celebrate with friends and family and just have something lovely to look forward to! It's been a crazy few weeks, wait- months- feels like years!!!
Lucy girl loves to be artsy and crafty- she always tells me she is making presents for her friends. She is loving preschool again this year and tells me about all the things she is learning. Apparently she saves those conversations for me, she doesn't tell anyone else about all the details. Such a stinker! She sleeps with a million blankets and stuffies and holds them all high on the list of favorites. She is still having a tough time keeping her hands to herself around Miles and Callie and unfortunately, they are learning to fight back for their independence. She is still bossy...but leads with high expectations. It's so fun to see her grow and learn and experience new things. She is so good at remembering everything too! She's also developed a little bit of sarcasm...which sounds like a smart mouth- that I am not impressed with. Her room still has a "comfy spot" which serves as her safe place to calm when those big emotions get the best of her. One thing that really impresses me is her ability to take deep breaths to calm. She used to literally tell me no, I will not take a deep breath!!! Now, she takes deep breaths, and she also helped "breathe with" Callie when she was upset the other day. It was so precious because that's how I would talk to her. Melts my momma heart.
She still lives everyday as an adventure and makes up her own journeys if there's nothing going on around here. She lives for spooky dirt sundaes at Zesto and then takes like 5 bites. Ha. I know I am biased, but I'm pretty sure she's smart. She is so funny, on purpose now. This wonderful big sister is going to run the world someday- if we can survive her at home. :)
