Lilley Pie Honey Bunch

So Lilley has had a rough time with the newest change at our house. It has been 5 weeks and the past few days, we have loved having Lilley back. She reacted to Tripp's appearance as a typical 22 month old: trying to find control in any area possible. Therefore, Michael and I were getting used to power struggles over diapering, eating...well, everything. Thankfully, Lilley has returned to eating well and using the potty again! We are also hearing fewer defiant outbursts of "NO!" Yesterday morning, Lilley was doing a great job and I said as much. Her response was, "Mommy, Lilley all better now." It brought tears to my eyes. What a transitional time in our lives: to have such joy in a new child and see the effect it has had on her.

Lilley asked her Daddy to take a picture of her drinking juice from a big girl cup. She is saying, "Hmmm...lummy."
