Hi everybody! What have you been up to? Here's what I've been up to!
(A note from Mommy... Sorry for the long wordy post, but this blog is also a keepsake for Lydia, so I like to capture all of her comings and goings and memories.)
This weekend was fun! It started on Friday when Daddy stayed home from work to play with me ALL DAY LONG! I am so lucky to have such a good Daddy. Then, on Saturday, Mommy was home too, so we all played together all day! On Sunday, we went to church, and then that night Grammy and Poppy came over to my house to play with me and to have dinner with us. Grammy said she wanted to play ball with me (one of my FAVORITE things to do!). So, Mommy gathered up all of my different sized balls and Grammy and I went into the dining room (a.k.a. my large empty playroom) and had a blast! I got worn out before she did!
Mommy says I was "very chatty" this weekend. I'm trying to learn to say words and express myself the way they do...it's just taking me a little longer than what the textbooks say. But I babble a lot and talk to them in my own special way. I have also learned some sign language at my speech therapy sessions.
Mommy and Daddy say that God created me in His perfect image, and that I belong to Him and the enemy isn't allowed to mess with me. And they also said that when Jesus died on the cross, he took all sickness and even speech delays on the cross with him, and none of us ever have to have anything hinder us. We just need to have faith and believe that God's word is true, just like how we have faith to believe we are saved. When God created me, He had a really, really neat plan for my life, and I am going to fulfill it! I can't wait to show you what God can do, all because He loves us so much!
Although I don't say a lot of words yet, I know a lot of things! One of my favorite things to do is look at word books and flashcards. When Daddy quizzes me, asking me to point to certain things, I get it right 100% of the time! I know my colors, my shapes, some letters and literally hundreds of animals, objects and types of food. Daddy is especially amazed that if you ask me to point to the picture of a "meerkat" or a "puffin" from a group of 15 flashcards, I always get it right!
I really like my puzzles and I'm getting better at putting them together. Sometimes my favorite way to play with the puzzles is to throw the pieces everywhere. That's really fun! But I am also getting more coordinated and I can fit the shapes in the right spot, and put the fish tails on the right fish. I like my puzzles.
I really like my preschool. I love my teachers and my new friends. I make a lot of art projects and bring them home to Mommy and Daddy. And I am a great napper. I always take my nap when they tell me to, and I am usually the last kid to wake up (and only because it's time for me to go home! Otherwise I'd keep sleeping!).
You know what else I like? The new Kindle commercial on TV! It's a commercial with 2 people sitting on a beach reading an e-book on their Kindle, and I LOVE THE SONG in the background! Daddy DVR'd it, so now I can watch it anytime. I dance and dance to that song...
Mommy decorated our house for fall. We have a lot of decorative pumpkins around the house and she won't let me play with them. She says I'll treat them like they're balls and throw them, just like I did with the apple and the orange that I got out of the refridgerator. Bummer.
Mommy has a big tummy now. Sometimes it gets in the way when I'm trying to sit in her lap or lay on her. She moves me over and says "Oh Lydia...you can't sit right there, sweetie...you have to skootch over a but." She keeps saying there's a baby in there. That doesn't make any sense though! Mommy also keeps trying to get me to play with my baby dolls more, and I think that has something to do with it. I do treat them better than I used to... I used to throw them on the floor to go do something else that is more fun. Now, when Mommy asks me to give the baby a kiss, I do. Mommy says the baby doll's name is Molly. :)
That's all for now! Thank you for reading my blog!
