A New Hair Style

For a few days you have been asking me to straighten you hair but I have been a bit against it because its hard enough to get you to sit still long enough to do your hair usually. The idea of adding a flaming hot straightening iron into the mix seemed a bit too risqué.
Alas we decided to try. I made a whole experience out of it for you. You had a bath and I gave your hair and good wash and a nice head massage. After your bath we blow dried it, which you loved (a total different experience from last time when you ran away scared!). You were even happy for me to brush your "naughty" hair.
You sat in the chair and read books while I worked. It took almost a full hour 'til it was done. Here's the result:

Toilet Training

This past week we have been toilet training. It's been 'interesting' to say the least. You are so so ready to do it. The other day you told me that you didn't want to wear nappies any more so I took that as my cue to start getting serious about it.  Our deal is, that you can only use the iPad when you go to the toilet. We ran out of internet quota because of how long you spend in there! but we haven't had any accidents for 3 days so I'll count that as a success. I can't wait to have you out of nappies!!!!!!!'

Sometimes Auron wants to keep you company

Look at that crazy hair

A Singer Perhaps?

Just the other day I caught you singing the ABC song, it was almost word perfect and in tune. I have never taught you that song, I think you must have learnt it off iTunes. I was quite impressed and also a little relived that I didn't have to worry about teaching it to you.

You also LOVE the 'Let it Go' song from the Frozen movie. We hear your rendition multiple times a day. Often you will stand on the table or chair and sing it at the top of your voice, with a blanket around you "like Princess Elsa". Although Daddy is sick to death of Frozen he can't help but find it adorable.

Praying

Oh how I love your sweet little prayers. You love to pray, I am always catching you praying quietly in bed or when your playing with your toys. You often want to pray when we are out shopping, so we stop in the middle of the supermarket to pray. I don't want you to think it is anything to be embarrassed or ashamed about. I love to see your little testimony grow. You are really beginning to understand all about prayer and have begun prayer for specific things and being very thoughtful about the things you say.

Lili-Mei

Since your name is so long it has often been shortened to few different things. I'm surprised you aren't confused! Usually you have been called Lili. Auron calls you Yana-Mei because he couldn't say his "L's" properly. Some of your Aunties and Uncles call you "Lils"

See, I am sure I would be confused. Just recently you have seemed to have a preference to what you like to be called and with which name you identify with. You like to be called Lili-Mei.

I wonder how long this will last? When we were deciding on your name we knew it would be shortened but we were never sure what it would be shortened to.

Sly Fox

Sly Fox is your all time FAVOURITE game. You saw it on an episode of Peppa Pig. We play it everyday, multiple times a day and usually always play it for our Family Time game at night.
You are a bit of a sneaky cheater though! Auron makes sure he holds your hand so you don't "go"when you are supposed to be "stopped" I think he likes to try and hold yo back so you don't win too!

Talk Talk Talk

Talking is what you do best. Oh my goodness sometimes I wish I had a mute button. YOu talk from the moment you walk up to the moment you go to sleep. I am shocked that you aren't a sleep talker too!
Sometimes you talk so fast I don't have a clue what you are saying. You love to boss everyone around especially Auron. Lucky for you he is quite compliant and usually does what you ask.
Along with your non stop jibber jabber comes beautiful manners! Oh how I love your manners. There is something so sweet about you when you, say "thank you Mummy!" I love it.
