My Lizzy is 5!

I just wanted to share a few things that I love about Elizabeth. She loves fruits and vegetables. She gets excited about avocados, pickles, asparagus, tomatoes and apples. She will pretty much eat anything except for purple onions. When I laugh, she laughs, even when I'm sure she doesn't understand why I'm laughing. She loves to do puzzles and her attention span is so amazing!

She loves to play hide and seek. The last time I played with her (just us two), I said, "Lizzy, you are such a great finder, I just can't seem to find a good enough hiding place." Lizzy responded, "Mom, it's okay, you are just so big, you're easy to find." I felt like that story of Danny and the Dinosaur when Danny is playing hide -n- seek with the Dinosaur and Danny has no problem finding the Dinosaur. I am the Dinosaur! I guess she is getting older now and I can stop hiding behind telephone poles and make it a little harder. ;) She always hides from Aaron when he comes home from work and when he forgets to come find her she says, "I'm hiding in here!" She is a giant for her age. She weighs 52 lbs, wears a size 13 shoe and seems to be catching up with Meliah. They are already sharing some clothes. Most of all, I love that I have been blessed with a daughter that loves unconditionally. She really is a sweet, wonderful little girl!
This is a picture she took of herself. I just love it!

Happy Birthday Lizzy Lou! She had a very girlie birthday party on Saturday and I will be posting those pictures this week.

I love that picture she took of herself too, it couldn't have come out any more perfect in my opinion. I love the way Lizzy just seems to go with the flow and has such a mild manner. Definitly an old spirit.

My parenting plan!!

I have been thinking a lot lately of what I need to teach my kids to help them become independant physically, spiritually and mentally so when they turn 18 they will be able to survive on their own. The last 9 years has flown by so quickly I can't believe it. Nine more years and my first child will be old enough to be on his own. That is a real wake up call for a mother who hasn't prepared her children for those important days. I realize that I have gone on way to long without a list of what needs to be learned and done by what age so that my kids will not be horrified when they get out into the world alone. So, I've come up with a list of most everything I can think of that would be important for my kids to know and learn and what ages they should be capable. Of course, every child is different and is capable of different things at different ages. Some learn things faster and are more motivated. Others would like to just live in the home cave for the rest of their lives and have no motivation to do any of it. So, I am including my fairly flexible plan. But if you let too many years slip by, you may need to up the work to fit everything in. I got most of my ideas from a very experienced LDS author (Merilee Boyack) who has raised several children successfully! So, hopefully you find this as helpful as I do!
