Lydia swings next to Luke at Father Alexander and Sonia's Easter open house. It was her first solo flight in a big girl's swing.

Choose Your Battles

This morning as I was finishing to get dressed, Lydia was doing her
own thing. When I was finished, I went and found her purple boots and
green stripped socks. I was standing in the kitchen and Lydia walked
passed me. She was already wearing shoes. It seems she found her Crocs
knock-offs and put them on herself. Not only that, but on the correct
feet. I then tried to change her shoes to the boots, she was going to
have none of that. She had a tantrum, one that I didn't want to deal
with, so I made a compromise. I put on her green stripped socks and
she went to school in her Crocs.

Going to School

Wearing her alpaca pancho that her papa bought her in Peru.

Playground Fun

We stopped to play today after running some errands. Dima and Lydia
really enjoyed the slide.

sleeping beauty

Lydia sacked out in the car on the way back from G.G.'s yesterday. So cute.

A Star is Born

She's a movie star, a dancer, a singer, an engineer, a
telecommunicator, a chef, and much, much more. Photo shows Lydia
Violet on the way to school this morning. So darn cute!
