Independence Day

The first few weeks of school, Lily wanted me to hold her hand as we walked into her new classroom. But yesterday, not only did she NOT want me to hold her hand, she insisted on walking 10 paces in front of me! Can she really be embarrassed of me ALREADY?! She’s only THREE! I mean, my outfit wasn’t that great and I really do need a brow wax, but hey, at least I showered and had on matching shoes (some days that is a lot to ask!).

Today, she took her independence a step further and decided to do her own hair before school.

OH. MY.

She gave it a lot of thought and then strategically placed 3 (yes, three) barrettes on the right side of her head and NONE on the other. I tried to help her fix it, but she was definitely set on this particular hair style. It was, well, abstract.

3 going on 13. Look out world.

Wordless Wednesday

See, even this website thinks I’m a Nerd!

Here’s another reason you should vote for me for Biggest Nerd at MomDot! LOL!


You Would Be Voted Biggest Brain


In school, you were very serious about getting good grades and studying.

You may have thought that no one noticed you, but people did know how smart you were.

You were often at the head of your class, and people respected your intelligence.

And it’s likely that all your studying eventually did pay off!

SuperLily: Toddler Computer Whiz

Lily never ceases to amaze me. Just one short week ago, I introduced her to a few online kids computer games. She is officially obssessed! She now can turn on the computer, start Internet Explorer, open my Favorites, click on her folder and open the PBS Kids website…all on her own. I didn’t think I would need to install Parental Controls on my computer at age 3!

At any rate, I saw this really neat product in the new Fisher Price catalog and I think it would be THE perfect gift for Lily from “Santa.” It’s called the “Computer Cool School” and plugs into your compter via a USB port. I think Lily would LOVE this!

Does anyone have this product?

Any other “Santa” suggestions for an almost 4 year old?
