The Leila

It's been a LONG time since we've had a Leila update. The hazard of being the third child; I can relate!

Leila's daycare room had their holiday party yesterday. Leila wore one of her favorite holiday dresses - a pink velvet one with fake fur around the wrists and neck with matching pink nappy cover. She was thrilled that she got to wear her white tights and black patent-leather shoes. She loves those shoes. She can barely walk in them (I think they may be a little big for her), but she insists on wearing them to school every single day.

Leila is speaking in full sentences now. She says, "I love you, mommy". She also says, "Eat, Simi!", which is usually screamed out at the top of her lungs. I think she's heard me and Raj say that a few thousand times... She says a whole lot of other things.

Yesterday, she said she wanted a yellow candy cane. I handed her the box and asked her to pick out the yellow one. So she did!
