Lily has been playing with this princess paper doll set quite a bit lately. The dolls are sturdy, and some of the outfits are plastic cling-on material, so they're easy for her to change them. For the paper outfits, she uses tacky glue dots that work really well for removing and reapplying. She also had fun cutting out the storybook pages to make the little paper books that go with each princess.
Lily has "grown up" and changed a lot in the last few months, and her interests are starting to shift. She's still very interested in the Disney princesses, of course, but I've been noticing a renewed interest in art activities like cutting, gluing, coloring, painting, drawing, tracing, all of the above. She LOVES to pick flowers. No landscaped flowerbed is safe from Lily's picking, but it's awfully difficult to discourage when she hands me the flowers saying, "This is for you, Mama." She only calls me "Mama" when she's in that sweet, lovey, giving mood these days; otherwise it's Mommy or sometimes even the very grown-up sounding "Mom." Another new interest of Lily's is rainbows, which is what prompted me to write this paragraph about her changing interests in the first place - I noticed her rainbow-colored outfit, which is a new favorite. She likes to look at rainbows shining through windows or in the sky, and she likes to draw, color, and paint them. And she'll tell you why the rainbow is there - to remind you of God's promise that he'll never leave us.
