Our little Lilly Lou turned six on Tuesday! She has grown so much over the past couple of years. At her birthday it is hard not to think back over the past 6 years and marvel at all her little body has gone through and how strong she is now. Stephen and I were talking about it and she has hit a milestone this year. This is the first year in six years that we did not visit the ER with her. This birthday we didn't plan much because knowing the last 5 years we had to reschedule or cancel plans because of illness or emergencies we kept our plans small. A birthday hamburger Happy Meal and special milk free chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and soy ice cream. We had a great day hanging out after school and guessing what birthday presents she might get.
She is such a compassionate little girl, willing to help out in any way she can. Last night as I was struggling with Tessa trying to get her to pick up some toys, I heard Lilly tell her younger sister that she loved her so much that if she were the mother she would NEVER yell at Tessa for a couple of toys left on the stairs. It was really touching to see her with her arm around her little sister comforting, drying tears, and protecting her against the hardships of cleaning. We love you Lillian!!!!
I just have to add that the color is a bit off on this picture but it is the birthday picture, so I am trying to focus on subject matter in this one.
