Lily takes ballet classes

Happy 2nd Birthday Lily Sophia!

Wir waren bei Chuck E. Cheese (Restaurant fuer Kinder mit verschiedenen Spielen, Pizza, Chicken Wings etc.) fuer Lily's Geburtstag. Um ein Spiel zu spielen, kauft man Chuck E. Cheese Muenzen (Chuck E. ist uebrigens eine Maus) und am Ende des Spiels bekommt man Tickets, die dann fuer einen Gewinn eingeloest werden koennen. Lily liebt es, die Muenzen einzuwerfen und laeuft dann weg. Fuer die meisten Spiele ist sie ein bisschen zu klein, aber wenn wir dort sind, rennt sie die ganze Zeit rum und mag gar nicht mehr gehen!


We went to Chuck E. Cheese for Lily's birthday. Lily loves to put in the coins and then walks away. She is a bit to little for most games, but when we go to Chuck E. there is no stopping her and she doesn't want to leave anymore!

New from the last days/Neuigkeiten der letzten Tage

Lily had a bad Friday night. She got upset about Karina taking a shoe from her she was playing with. We already had made the sofa bed and Lily attempted to climb from the couch onto the bed. Because she was upset, she didn't pay attention and slipped in the little space between were the metal of the bed is exposed cause the mattress is too small... she hit her lips and bled from her mouth. :( she cried badly and wouldn't let us look into her mouth! Turns out, she managed to pinch her inner upper lip between her two front teeth! A quick internet search showed that nothing can be done and the swelling of the lip should go down and heal within 3-5 days. Let's see right?!

Today, Monday, we went to Columbia mall and looked around a bit. I asked Karina if she still wanted her ears pierced and she said "yes". So, we went to Claire's and watched a little girl get her ears pierced. She started crying a little and Karina watched intensely. She still wanted to do it though! I think she underestimated the pain a little, but she didn't cry and was over it by the time she got her lollipop ;) We're very proud of her and think she was very brave.
