In the rush of cleaning and packing that was Monday, I forgot to post Lilly's 25th month update. I had a whole list of my favorite Lilly-isms, but I left them on my computer at home, so they will have to wait. Instead, I'll post a couple pictures and start what I hope I can keep up as a tradition. . . a post of Lilly's favorite book discoveries for the month!
We have a growing list of favorite books that we repeatedly check out at our weekly library visits, but we also try out lots of new ones every week. We usually find a couple to add to our "love" list, and I thought it might be fun to start sharing them.
So without further ado. . .
Lilly's Books of the Month!
The Woods by Paul Hoppe
A fun story about a boy in search of his bedtime bunny. In the woods, he meets some scary creatures that don't turn out to be that scary at all. I think Lilly was particularly sympathetic to the main character's plight, as she too, would dare the deepest, darkest woods to find her beloved bunny.
I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen
A silly story about a bear looking for his hat which it turns out he's already seen. The tricky bunny shows up wearing the hat around page 2, but the bear passes it by. The story doesn't end well for the poor bunny once bear finds him, but Lilly doesn't get that part, yet. What she does love, is pointing out the hat to bear when it first shows up, even thought he never seems to hear her!
Little Bear's Little Boat by Eve Bunting
Just a simple story about a bear growing up and growing out of his favorite toy. Sometimes growing up is hard, no matter how old you are, but that's little bear's destiny and he handles it well. Lilly loved the illustrations and words and insisted on reading it over and over and over.
In other news, Fall has finally arrived in Texas:
Lilly LOVES the Christmas lights! We went to a really cool Christmas light tour in Round Rock last week, and she also loves driving around the neighborhood in the evenings.
We had a great flight to Utah, and we can't wait to share all of our Christmas adventures from the coming week!
Until then, we wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
