Danbury Fair - 2011
We took the girls to the Danbury Fair last night. Lexi and her BFF Nicole had a lot of fun hanging out and going on all the rides (pictures to come). They haven't seen each other since school got out so there was a lot of catching up to do. Lilli enjoyed being with Nicole as well and loved walking around checking out all the fun rides. She went on a couple of rides too.
Here are a couple of pictures of the girls with their prizes which Daddy won!

Lilli Ventures into the Potty World!
Over the weekend Lilli has shown interest in the potty again. This time, however, she has decided she does not want to wear diapers anymore, as she proclaimed "Mommy, no diaper" and sat on her potty. It was a tiring two days of following her to every potty (including her very own) in the house every 15 minutes, but I was thrilled that she was so excited!
We started out with the "Princess" pull-ups, but after day 1, I couldn't find my other stash of pull ups so I put her in regular underwear. Lilli was THRILLED to wear big girl undies. Despite frequent trips to the potty, she did have a couple of accidents. She will only sit on potty for 10 seconds and then hop off to check and see if she made anything :) I need to figure out a way to get her to sit longer on the potty!
I sent her to Grandma's house today in Pull-ups, as I found the other box. I didn't want to stress Grandma out with Lilli wearing underwear yet. My fingers are crossed that she shows as much interest in the potty at Grandmas as she does at our house!

Sean had to travel again this week, so I decided to take the girls out shopping after work :)
I took the girls to McD's first
Then we went shopping. Lexi saw these huge Santa's and Snowmans and asked me to take her picture so we could send them to Daddy!

Blue Jay Orchards 2010
We went twice to Blue Jay Orchards. The first time we went only for apples. Lexi and Lilli joined their counsins Hailey and Jackie. The second time we went was with Grandma and PopPop on their anniversary. The girls went on the hayride to pick out pumpkins and then we picked some apples. They really enjoyed the outdoors and munching on juicy apples!!

Lilli's Growth Saga
Yesterday Lilli went for an MRI of the brain. She has not been growing very much since about 15 months and is well below the curve, at about 1 %. Thyroid, Liver, Kidney and chromosone problems have been ruled out after numerous tests. Her pedi wants to see if the parts of her brain such as the pituitary function, which control growth are developed as they should be. If this looks fine, then we will move onto one more test to determine if growth hormone therapy is right for her. This is a bit involved and will require a hospital stay. We are very fortunate to have such a great pedi, as his speciality is pediatric endroncology.
She was so happy the first 45 minutes prior to the MRI, here is a picture of her in the gown before the scan. She had no clue as to what was going to happend. They had to give her anthesia to put her to sleep since the MRI took about an hour to perform since they did with and without contrast. She was so upset when they took her away from me, I cried watching her receive the gas and fall asleep. She took about an hour to recover from the anthesia, but had no side affects from the contrast! What a little trooper! She has been through a lot lately.

Lilli at the Park
We went to the park and Lilli enjoyed crawling through the tunnels. The last photo of her is when she made her way to the end and wanted to tell me that she had poopie in her diaper. That is how she signs when she has already gone :)
Where is her head?
We were shopping at Kohls a couple weekends ago and Lexi was looking at a manaquin and asked "Where is her head?" She then asked me to take her picture so she could look like one.

A Prayer for Mommy's Mommy
The other day Lexi and I were in her room cleaning and she stopped and asked me "Mommy, do you still love your Mommy?" (Lexi knows my Mom is in heaven) I told her absolutely, I love my Mommy very much. I told her that even though my Mommy is in heaven, I love her every day and I will never stop loving her. She then says, "Mommy, I am going to say a prayer for her." She begins to bless herself and says, "In the name of the father, and the son and the holy spirit, Amen" as she brings her hands together in front of her. She then continues on to say, "Mommy's Mommy we love you very much!" I was so touched by this, I began to cry! She then told me, "OK, Mommy, now you say a prayer for your Mommy." And I did :)
Lexi is so sweet and a very caring little girl. She mentions a couple times a week how she much she misses Stinky. The other day, prior to this, she asked me if my Mommy and Stinky are together in Heaven. I told her they most certainly are.
