Sometimes It’s Not Fun Being the Little Brother

Navy didn’t get out of the way when Lily was riding her bike. She attempted to go around, but still clicked him in the head. He fell face first into the sidewalk.

Damage Report: knot about left eye, minor scrapes above right eye, moderate scrape on right cheek, bloody lip, minor scrapes to left hand.

Lily got her bike taken away and a time out. She had to apologize to Navy for running him over.

Navy recovered by sitting with Papa where it was safe and drinking his milk.

Sometimes, it’s not fun being the little brother.

With the city-wide garage sale coming up this Friday, I’ve been busy trying to get more hair items made (bows, pony-Os), and adding tutus and wands to my inventory.

Project 365: Day 120 – Lily Is Motivated

Lily is motivated.

She wanted to ride a bike without training wheels, she pretty much taught herself (with a little help from Mommy and Papa…very little).

Now, she wants to learn to tie her shoes. She practiced for about a half hour, but I made her call it a night. She was tired, and extremely frustrated. However, she’s almost got it.

I really love Lily’s motivation and her attitude to not let anything stand in her way.

Flip side: It makes her a challenge to parent. She is so determined, in spite of consequences. We have been seeing tons of improvement though, especially as she matures.
