Tricky, tricky, tricky...

In an effort to get Lucy to eat her veggies or other non-favorite foods, we often ask her how old she is, and when she tells us "two" we then have her take two bites of it. I think I wrote how awhile back she used this to get two bites of something she did want- I had told her she could have just one more pretzel and she said, "no, two pretzels because I two".

She took this to a new level the other day. Matt had been trying to get her to eat something, and she had already eaten one bite of it. He then asked, "how old are you, Lucy?" Lucy looked up at him with a little grin said, "one!". We all cracked up, and she laughed too. I get such a kick out of how her mind works!

We've been swimming in a pool a lot lately. Lucy loves to push off of the steps into our arms, and is always wanting us to back up more. So we often hear, "Go away, go far away, very very far away!" She mostly loves the pool, but I think sometimes gets overwhelmed with frustration that she can't swim around on her own. It really conflicts with her desire for independence. I'm sure she'll be thrilled when she finally learns to swim.

Lucy's very into getting dressed by herself. There's a little pocket near where she sleeps which she has been putting clothes in. For the last few mornings I've gone in and found her fully dressed in her clothes for the day already, with everything facing the right way!
