sweet lilly jane is 6 years old and in the first grade. as of this past week she has lost another front tooth and loves to flash her toothless smile to just about any one. speaking of her smile - she has one of the best smiles i have ever seen. there are times when i think her smile might swallow her face because it is SO big! hmmm, lilly jane.... she is bursting with innovation, creativity and athleticism. she struggles academically - however she knows/understands colors and style unlike any other child i have ever met. she radiates confidence and isn't afraid to walk up to a complete stranger to compliment their shoes, hand bag or even nails if she is so inclined. she still sucks her two fingers and uses one of my shirts to snuggle with. she is very sensory oriented and needs to touch EVERYTHING. one of her favorite colors to use while coloring is brown - she told me once she loves to use the color brown because it seems to "go with everything". what little girl, or kids for that matter, loves to color with brown? lilly will find out this weekend that she will be repeating first grade. i'm a bit nervous at how she will take it - since she is very social and has a lot of friends however we know that it will be the best thing for her and her academic future. lilly LOVES her babies and shows off her lovey dovey side when she is playing with her baby dolls. for christmas we bought her a guinea pig and she treats it like her very own baby, wrapping it in a baby blanket and pushing it around in her stroller throughout the house. i love watching her play "mommy". lilly is a natural leader. my daily prayer for lilly is that she won't be discouraged when she academically struggels and that we will find ways to help her work to her strengths (which are many!). I pray that she will continue to be surrounded by people who will encourage her creativity and not squelch it. i love my sweet lilly jane and can't imagine my life without her energy and enthusiasm.
