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.
