Ma Petite Fille (My Little Girl)

Ma petite fille Lilly is growing up. It's easy to see just by looking at her. Because she is the youngest she is a bit more "grown-up" in her interests. She has been begging and begging me to get her some deodorant. I guess deodorant is better than make-up right? She has two unusual interests right now. First, she is addicted to "Webkinz". This is a virtual computer game that allows her to take care of her pink poodle Molly online. We had to set a 20 minute a day maximum on her "computer time" because she was constantly throwing a fit if anyone else needed the computer. Second, she is in love with the movie High School Musical 2. She watches it in French, but all of the songs are sung in English. Lilly loves the music. She is often heard around our house singing, "5, 6, 7, 8, na na na na YOU are the music in ME!"

This little four year old fireball is the music in all of us. Her ability to draw detailed pictures, learn her letters, make up fantastic imagination games, dance, sing, be silly and yet warm and cozy with her hugs pulls our entire family together. She has definitely amazed us with her ability to learn a multitude of French words said with a perfect accent. We love Lilly and don't want her to grow up, yet we are excited to see her talents develop and her little life unfold before our very eyes. She tells us everyday that she is going to be a zoo keeper, an artist and a lady who takes care of children in an orphanage. Keep the dream alive Lilly! We are cheering you on.
