Today was a day of firsts:  my first parent-teacher conference and my first time getting the entire house clean in one shot.  My conference was cute and I found out what we all know about Lily–she is great.  She is playing well with others but learning to stand her ground.  She is a little storyteller and talker but is quite shy in music class.  She is possibly testing limits during lunch and quiet time by making little noises.  I welcome the rebellion; everyone needs to be a little naughty every once in awhile.  While the two nappers napped, Lily and I started some Thanksgiving Day preparations.  I am so thankful for her artistry, Ollie’s confidence to try and jump down off something today by himself, and Emmy’s patience with my running around today.
