It's Lydia's 2 and a half year old birthday! Yes, she's officially 2 and a half now...such a big girl!
It also happens to be Columbus Day, which means a holiday from work! Having a day off from work is always a good, good, GOOD thing. And it meant that Lydia and Mommy got to have a play day together!
In the morning, we went to speech therapy. Lydia had fun there, as she always does. From there, we went to Super Target (our home away from home).
She was all silly in the car, and wouldn't take her blanket off of her face. She even clapped along while I sang "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands" still hiding her little face the whole time! She thought she was pretty funny.

At home, she did little reading...in her box of books.
Later, in honor of her half birthday, we went out to do something special! We went to Petco! Hmm... a pet store... What could that mean? I'll tell you in a minute. Lydia had a TON of fun at the pet store. She loved it! She saw guinea pigs, parrots, ferrets, turtles, hamsters, and tons of fish, among other things. She went from cage to cage, tank to tank, having fun observing the animals.
So, do you think we bought a pet while we were at Petco? Of course we did! Do you think we bought a pet that has a lot of hair, sheds, needs to be walked and is generally very high-maintenance? Of course not!
Lydia got a goldfish.
If you've been watching Lydia's blog for awhile, you may remember that her Grammy and Poppy got her a goldfish last Christmas. Her name was Dorothy. (well, her full name was Dorothy #2, because she was actually the second fish Grammy purchased before giving Lydia her Dorothy on Christmas Eve. The first one didn't make it!) Dorothy #2 had long, happy life at our house...for about 2 weeks. Today seemed like a great day to try again. We haven't officially named our new pet, yet. Dorothy #3? I'm thinking her name will just be Fish. Clever, huh?
Let's have a moment of silence for Dorothy #2, shall we? Here she was on Christmas Eve 2009. She made Lydia very happy.
We'll keep you posted on the newest fish! Wish us luck!
