New phases

Sometimes the smallest things can strike me as big. For instance, in the past few days Lilly has begun to frequently say, "Mommy, watch me!" or "Mommy, watch this!" as she does something new or fun. Just the fact that she is putting together the words and the concept reminds me that she is quickly leaving the toddler years behind. More and more, I see how she's becoming more like a preschooler. It's an absolute joy to watch, and it makes me stop and get as many cuddles and kisses as possible while I can!
