Lyla's birthday week was of course very anticipated. This girl was so excited to turn 5 and to celebrate many times. She requested her favorite foods for several meals, did her favorite activities, got our traditional book and free treat from Barnes & Noble, and of course had a Frozen party. Lyla talked about a Frozen party for 10 months, and then a few weeks before tried to change to a Sheriff Callie party. But luckily that only last a few hours because I already had everything for the party. Lyla is becoming such a sweet, motivated girl. She still has extremely strong feelings on many things and we work through intense meltdowns frequently. But she can be so thoughtful- surprising me by dusting the living room (the job I hate doing most), or unloading the dishwasher before I even ask to surprise me. She loves learning- she's memorized primary talks, several Articles of Faith, a few paragraphs from the Living Christ. She recently learned to ride her bike without training wheels, tie a shoe, and sleep through the night without a pull-up (yay!!!). During naptime/quiet time she and I read a few verses from the Book of Mormon together and she's always begging me to keep reading so she can hear what happens next. I am often learning from my sweet daughter and I love the tender moments I get to spend with her. Her enthusiasm for life is so inspiring to me.
