Update on Lyla, started 8/2016
I don't write enough about Lyla on here anymore. Lyla is a super sweet big sis to Penny. She really hasn't shown much jealousy at all since Penny was born, and usually tries to get Penny included in our activities. She is a very loving little girl, and will often out of the blue ask for our attention, followed simply by "I love you Mom". I always tell her, "thanks for being my girl", and lately she's been saying back "thanks for being MY girl", with a big sweet grin on her face.
She is so friendly and loves to meet new people. She is often asking people "What's your name?" and then tells them "I'm Lyla and this is my mommy Allison and my baby's name is Penny". She loves to introduce us all.
"I'm telling the truth, not July"--after catching her with chocolate all over her face, and she denied eating the peanut butter cups.
Lyla asking about getting resurrected. "Will it hurt when I get the nails in my hands and my feet?"
"Mom, there's a few things I need to talk to you about... Number 1. How did Penny get out of you when she was in your tummy?"
At conference, we told her that President Monson was going to speak and she asked, "But when is Joseph Smith going to talk?" "How about Nephi?"
I told her that there was a visitor who was coming to her preschool (Santa). I told her it was an old man and she said, "Oh, is it Joseph Smith?!"
"Mom, there's a few things I need to talk to you about... Number 1. How did Penny get out of you when she was in your tummy...?"
I asked Lyla if she knew what an apostle was, and she started explaining something to me about clay and I realized she was describing "a fossil", which she had learned about in preschool the previous week.
A few pics below of Lyla's 3 year old pics that Laura took. I love them so much!
