Lyla is sweet, funny, and kind. She is definitely a unique little girl in such good ways. What everyone always comments on is her enthusiasm. We were trick or treating last night and a member of the primary presidency whispered to me that even though they're not supposed to have favorites, Lyla is hers. Then she asked me if she is always so...excited. And the truth is that she really is. She's not always happy, but when she is, she is bright and bubbly. It's fun to watch her open her birthday presents because they are all the best thing ever, or "just what I wanted". She is always so happy to see her friends. If it's her turn to give a talk or prayer in primary, she can hardly contain herself. It's always funny and sweet and endearing all at the same time.
Lyla is also a very kind girl. When we were discussing it the other day, I think Todd said it well: Lyla doesn't seem to notice people's ages. It's not a discriminating factor to her. She doesn't get upset when little kids try to play with her group. She has almost always been sweet and kind to Penny, even though Penny is not always that way back. She also has no problem talking to adults. She walked Todd out for work the other day and came back in and said "I just met a nice boy (man) named Daniel". I said "Oh yeah, how'd that go?" and she said "I said hi, what's your name? and he said 'Daniel' and I said 'Oh, my name's Lyla, nice to meet you'". I also got a report back from my neighbor that Lyla told her "I know my garage code. It's xxxx". We need to be careful!
One of the best things about Lyla is that she is a very sweet big sister to Penny. She is rarely jealous, and usually very happy to help and share. It is sweet to watch her.
