How does time go by so quickly and then one day you look and they look sooo much older than they really are?!? Well, not just look older but act older too. I tell Mike constantly when he gets home from work that Lily grew up again today followed by a story that we both laugh at, shake our heads and just know that we're really in for it...I mean really in for it with Miss Lily.
Seriously, it's really difficult sometimes to be smarter than she is.
She catches on really, really quick and has a memory that I can only dream of and will never, ever have.
We now have to watch what we say, of course, but now we can't even spell some words because she knows how to spell them. We have been saying initials to things, calling the girls 8 and 10 (which I'm sure won't last too much longer since she'll catch on), and even spelling things backwards to throw her off. And, got a tip from a teacher to start writing in cursive so that she won't know what we're writing.
Mike and I have the "thought we had longer before we got into this" conversation A LOT.
Keeping our fingers crossed that we can outsmart her for a little bit longer.
