Awards and precious memories

We are just so proud of Lily. I know all parents think that their children are gifted and amazing in every way, but my girls really are :) Lily was the only child in her class to receive this award. It means she is an advanced reader. We haven't heard what her actual reading level is, but is atleast a second grade level and I would guess higher. Yes I am bragging, but I am a mom I'm supposed to!
At the book fair this year Lily picked out a book that had many different breeds of dogs and descriptions of them. From this she decided the dog she really wanted was a flat haired golden retriever. This paper came home with her from her Grandma's house. It says this puppy is an adoptable lab mix from New York City. On her own she decided to put this paper under Corey's pillow for him to find. I think she was hoping it would turn out like the Christmas Story did, and she would get that puppy dog. Was so hard for me to turn her down. Good thing I have Corey to help keep me rationale!
