Fun at home

Playing with her new zoo set (a present for going poopy on the potty)

Playing with a homemade toy - a paper cup, a straw and a grape make a fun pop-up toy!

Body part identification game - put the band-aid on your [knee, hand, etc]

Yay for Lily!

Building with blocks

Painting with daddy. Carl touched up the trim around the deck door while Lily "painted" the siding with water.

Sidewalk chalk is not just for sidewalks!

Shoe match game

Shoe match game taken to a new level - Lily decided that the window sill is the perfect place to line up her shoes.

Catching up on some reading during a relaxing bubble bath

Mommy and Lily: Fort-builders extraordinaire!

On the menu for lunch: butterfly sandwiches. We tried anyway:)

These pictures show our morning from wake-up time (around 6:50 am) to about 10:00 am. If anyone were to question why parents of toddlers are exhausted, this would be the answer. Lily's energy level does not diminish even a little bit throughout the day, and since the toddler attention span seems to be about 5 seconds long, we are on the go with different activities from sun up to sun down. This also explains why I haven't gotten around to cleaning the house as well as I should. Okay, so it makes a good excuse anyway.
