Lucy loves anything with sugar.. one of her favorites.. fruit loops. She loves cereal especially when it's time to go to bed, a staller if you ask me. She hates going to bed but loves sleeping in. That's my girl! She claims that her favorite food is chocolate chip cookies especially the cookie dough. She also loves chicken nuggets and corn, nachos, quesadillas, watermelon, french fries, grilled cheeses, uncrustable PB&J's, mac and cheese, chocolate milk, white milk, really any juices or soda, popsicles, popcorn, chips and dip, "paper" cheese, hotdogs (with ketchup and a toothpick), frozen waffles, rice, and hot cereal.
Lucy finished the soccer season up a couple of weeks ago.. not sure how many games they won. She was one of the youngest on the team and pretty much just chased the ball. Without fail had to go potty once during the game and after half time would rather have played on the playground so it looks like we will hold off until she is a little older to try that again but she did have some friends on the team so that was fun for her. She is going to be in swim lessons most of the summer and really wants to take gymnastics again so were looking into that after she finishes safety town in July.
Classic Lucy idea! She will be 5 in July and is so excited to go to Kindergarten. She will be going to Windermere Elementary (afternoon) which is about 5 minutes away but since it crosses a major street that she can't walk across so they will bus her!! Wahoo for me!! She is pumped about riding the school bus and freaks out every time she sees one drive by our house. Apparently they will pick her up right at our corner so it will be perfect. I can only imagine the things I will get done while Norah naps and Lucy is at school or the nice quite nap I'll take with Norah. She loves school and can hardly wait for the fall. BTW, these are Dave's gym shorts. She really wanted Dave to take this picture and send it to her Aunt Jenny. So random.
I think Lucy got dads running genes. She is a fast little runner. Our ward had a breakfast at the park for Memorial Day and they had a fun run for the primary which the kids loved! They had one for the 5 years and under kids and she beat everyone by a long shot. They also had one for the older kids and she kept up pretty well. They got these sweet medals after and Lucy thought it was really funny that she kept drinking her orange juice while I was trying my hardest to get both kids to smile, little stinker!
I told Lucy she could get a treat at the store if she was good at the Eagle's Nest (it is a little play place at the grocery store where you can drop your kids off while you shop.. genius if you ask me. Well... she chose circus peanuts. My mom would be proud, those are her favorites!
We went to the Park of Roses last night and the kids were really cute. They both love to be outside running around.
This is the best story ever told.. she wrote this in preschool. It says...
Once upon a time...
There was a lizard. His name was lizard. He went into a forest. He got ated by a dinosaur. The dinosaur choken on it.
The End
By: Lucy
We laughed and laughed at this story. In fact, one day I was waiting to pick Lucy up and was reading the other kids stories and they were hilarious! I was giggling to myself for 10 minutes. Such funny kids. We also learned from her teacher that she thinks her dad is 90 years old and that if she were a leprechaun that she would hide her gold under her bed.. who knew.
Lucy loves our backyard and would be out there all day if I'd let her but since our yard ins't fenced in I'm a little nervous to send the kids out alone so looks like we will be spending a lot of time out back this year. Her favorite things to do outside include hide and sink (seek), tag, poison and dead man on the trampoline, playing with her new little friends across the fence, Bella and Joey, running through the sprinklers with Brent, Adam, and Claire, sliding down the slide into this little pool that our neighbors gave to us, hopscotch and sidewalk chalk, and really anything else outside. We have a swim pass and so I imagine we will spend plenty of time there as well.
I made brownies one Sunday evening and she helped me cut them.. wow haha thanks Luce, pretty mangled if you ask me :) but love the help! So proud!
Ah, Lucy and Luke, such a funny little kid and one of her best friends. When I ask her who her best friends are she always says Luke, Brady, and Miles. She also loves her cousin Kade.. hmmm I guess she likes boys, which is good I guess. Her latest obsession.. Big Time Rush (boy band) sweet! She's 4 for crying out loud!
Lucy is really such a happy little girl and pretty funny too. She always has a story for me and the day would not be complete without a stack of computer paper with love notes written all over them. She always makes one for me, dad, and Norah. Her favorite words to write are mom, dad, Norah, Lucy, boo, oh no, cat, dog, i love you, usa and she is learning more everyday. She loves to color, play with play dough, paint, and read books especially at night with dad after mom goes to work. We go to the library quite a bit for new books and movies. We signed her up for the Upper Arlington reading program and she gets some sweet prizes so that will help motivate us to help her read more.
A couple of other things about Lucy.
She loves her baby sister Norah! Always helping her and teaching her new things. I love how they play together. My favorite is when they get laughing, I can't help but laugh with them even when I don't know what they are laughing about. Another funny thing about Lucy, she loves to sing.. especially in the bathroom. I can't count how many people have come out of the bathroom in public places and ask me if that little girl belongs to me and what a cute little singing voice she has. So funny. Last but not least.. her favorite saying of the day.. "Choose it!" Whenever I ask her what she wants to eat or what she wants to do it's always choose it! Such big decisions to make around our house. We love our little Lucy and are so thankful to have her sweet little body in our home. She amazes me every day!
