Lydia ~ 31 Months

Lydia's thirty-first month was busy, as are most of ours, it seems! We traveled to see her cousins, Savannah, Karolina and Marshall and her Uncle Paul and Aunt BJ in Rocky Mount. Aunt BJ had a beautiful surprise for Lydia - a new, handpainted learning table! Lydia loves to do "learning time," and now we have an official table! She loves to sit here and work on her letters, numbers, matching games, lacing cards, and coloring! Lydia continues to do really well with her memorization and recognition of letters and has begun to point them out to us! We are continually amazed to watch her learn. While visiting our family, we also attended a minor league baseball game and Lydia had a lot of fun with that (except for trying to be coaxed to sit with the mascot - a large catfish!)

Lydia is a happy, healthy and energetic little girl and we are so blessed by her! She is almost always a "sweet girl" as she calls herself and we try to remember to encourage her when she usu her manners (which we have been working on for a while) and obeys Daddy and Mommy quickly because obey (as she will tell you) means "right now." We are seeking to raise her in a way that pleases the Lord, because we know that not only is that what God desires, but it is also what is best for her!
