Another First

A few weeks back, we took Lily to a park for the first time.
While there we discovered that she had never been on a swing before.

Eight years old.
Without ever having had the chance to enjoy one of the greatest joys of childhood.

With a bit of coaching from her sisters, she learned to pump on her own.
And now?
I think it's safe to say the sky's the limit.

  2. WOW! You go girl!

    When we got our boys (from Detroit) I handed them blank pieces of paper and some crayons they were CLUELESS as to what to do! SERIOUSLY? Yes, they couldn't just color a picture! Oh and puzzles...had never.ever done a puzzle!

  4. I'm so with you girl, the boys didn't know either. They aren't too interested in learning how to pump on their own....but I guess that's ok....my biceps needed a workout or 12 anyway.
