“I can do it ALL BY MYSELF!” My granddaughter, Lilah, turned 3 this week and is transforming into a confident, spunky, (sometimes sassy) and determined little girl who advocates for herself and knows what she wants. I love that she can be a girly girl, loves her dolls and playing princess dress up, but also loves playing cars with her brother and cousins - all boys.
Lilah loves animals - real live ones. She takes pride in her family job of giving her dogs food and water. During Mimi Camp this summer, we visited Blackberry Farm, and her favorite “ride” was the pony ride. After hiking her up onto the pony’s saddle it was pretty difficult to step away. She looked at me and said, “Mimi, don’t hold me. I can do it.” I obliged.
Lilah will soon be a middle child, but I have no doubt that she will always be heard and will be a nurturing older sister. I look forward to watching our sweet, smart, spunky little Lilah grow!
