Happy Birthday, Lily!!!


Lily likes her bike so much that she brought it inside and wiped it down.


The cake got messed up in the car, but she still liked it.



She had no idea that she was getting a bike, even though she had asked for one.


Daddy surprised her when he brought up the bike.


Everyone had a great time at Lily's party in the park. The kids (and some grown-ups) mostly just played on the playground. I love that the parents of my kids' friends are all my friends, so I always have a nice, relaxed time, too. The rain held off until we got home, but it was a little windy.

Lily had her check-up today and weighed in at 35 pounds and is 3'7". She is in great health except that she did not pass the hearing test. The doctor noticed a slight redness in her ear and she did complain of an earache on Sunday (probably due to the wind at the party), so she is going to take an antibiotic and go back for another hearing test in 2 weeks. This is only the second time in her 5 years of life that she has had to take antibiotics. She will also be eating plenty of homemade yogurt with lots of good bacteria to complement the antibiotic.
She thinks she's big stuff now. She loves being 5. She has also asked me what new jobs around the house she can have so I'll be sure not to let her down on that one!
