Lucy

 Oh Lucy Girl. What has she been up to..Well, she is still loving preschool and the plastic food carrot that is her very favorite thing there. She holds onto it through centers and playing in the gym and has a major freak out if another kid steals her carrot. Luckily her carrot obsession is pretty well known by now so most everyone is happy to let her be weird in peace :).
 Lucy got a princess crown in her Happy Meal the day I had my race and was super sick by the awful smell of Mcdonald's food.
 We've had some super warm weather lately (temps above 60's) so we have made several trips to the park and even fit in some runs in the jogging stroller. Although Lucy and Edyn together weigh 70lbs so its getting harder to push them. Lucy loves the park and really loves when we have friends meet us there. Her little friend lives down the street from us and also goes to her preschool. They are very cute together, even when Lucy says her name wrong for the 100th time in a row. They went to the Post Office for a field trip on Thursday and got to mail letters to themselves. They were both SUPER EXCITED and were greeting everyone that came in the post office that day with a cheer and lots of "YAY! You're here's!!". It really doesn't take much to get Lucy excited. She is so happy 90% of the time.  I love that she thanks everyone for everything and is constantly complementing others. If she keeps that up she will have a lot of friends growing up! On the other hand, Lucy is kind of quirky and I'm hoping she outgrows some of her quirks. Like eating the grass. Or my new favorite, chewing teeth marks into the side of her and Isak's brandnew bunk bed. I was trying to figure out what happened since they are BRAND NEW and was asking the kids and telling them how we need to take good care of our bed and on and on. And Lucy looked at me and said, "I bite it. I go AYE AYE AYE" (as she makes chomping noise with her mouth). Yea. I wasn't even sure what to say to that, the kid is four and apparently needs a teething rail. Even Edyn doesn't do that. So Lucy and I had a discussion about eating our furniture and she hasn't done it anymore.  That might impact her ability to have friends....hopefully at 13 she's not still chewing on her wood furniture.
