A Day In the Life of Lily

A Day in the life of Lily

Good Morning Mummy

Lily wakes up at around 8.30/9am and gets herself dressed, in the clothes that we looked out for her to wear the previous night. She then comes and wakes me up, by getting into bed with me for a 'good morning kiss and cuddle.'
We both get up and Lily plays in her play room. While I get myself dressed and ready.
Recently she's started playing a lot with her 'Design A Friend' doll Victoria. Which is a doll collection, with their own outfits and accessories, available to buy from Argos (link below)
Lily is saving up to buy the other dolls and more clothes for Victoria. She loves how Victoria looks like her and has so many different outfits so she can dress and undress her lots which is one of Lily's favourite thing to do at the moment and is great for her fine motor skills.

After I am ready we both go downstairs and Lily lets Capra, our dog outside, while I get breakfast ready. Lily likes either cereal or toast for breakfast. We have breakfast together.



 Lily then plays with her hamster Steven, who she recently bought a new cage for and is so excited to help write her very first, own blog post based on her very special pet Steven.
Lily and I then take Capra for a walk, either to the wonderful fairy garden we have in our village or the dog walk area, Capra loves going to the dog walk, where she often meets other dogs to play with. Capra is a rescue dog from Spain and we have had her for a year, she is the soppiest dog out there and just wants cuddles from anyone and everyone. She also loves sharing ice cream with her human sister Lily!

 
When we have finished our walk we grab a quick lunch, as we start Work/Nursery at 11am. Lily's favourite lunches include- Salad wraps, ham sandwiches, Picnic platter with lots of veg. Lily's favourite food is cucumber and she would eat the whole thing if I let her!
We then set off to Nursery. Lily is in my nursery class and has been for just over a year, but only until summer when she starts primary one (but that's a whole other blog post)
We spend the afternoon playing, learning, and having fun! I am very lucky in the sense that even when I am working I am playing and spending time with Lily, although it has it's own challenges, I wouldn't have it any other way. Being Lily's teacher is just as much of a challenge and fun as being her Mum, in a completely different way and when Lily first started in my class we found it quite difficult to adapt, Lily wasn't used to sharing her Mum, but now she barely notices I'm there. Since starting Nursery she has come on in so many different ways, her confidence and social skills are the two areas I notice the most difference in.
Lily stays with me after her friends have gone home, and helps tidy the Classroom though more often than not she makes more of a mess as I'm trying to tidy up.
Sometimes Lily will go through and visit her Granny in the office and help her with very important jobs, Lily's Granny is our School's Administrator.
We finish School at 4 and head home, we seconds away from the which has it's advantages and disadvantages, it can be challenging when my best friend's are also parents of children in my class, but again I wouldn't have it any other way.
 
 
 


Lily with her neighbours Shaun and Chloe, two of Lily's best friends, We are so lucky to have the best neighbours.
 
Lily loves to play out with next door neighbours after school.
They are all in different classes at the moment so Lily gets so excited to rush home from school to play with them, I will often have a chat with Faye, Shaun and Chloe's Mum and one of my closest friends.
We are so lucky to have such amazing neighbours who are not only great friends but the most supportive, kind people we could wish to live next door to. I am delighted that Lily is growing up on a street where she can 'play out' like I did when I was a child. In the holidays the children will play outside until it gets dark and we will sit outside chatting. (often with a glass of prossecco or 5)
 
 
Lily does highland dancing twice a week, and really enjoys it. She passed her first Highland Dancing exam in December and will begin to compete very soon. She has come on so much since starting and loves it so much that she practices every single day without being asked. On Highland Dancing days we don't get home till a bit later on.
