A few things about Lyla...
1. She has a contagious laugh...strangers can't help but laugh when she laughs.
2. She LOVES LOVES to read books. She's been know to read 20-30 books at one sitting.
3. She loves to be around people.
4. She is athletic. Other parents have commented a number of times on Lyla's athletic ability, specifically her speed and jumping skills.
5. She loves to hide. Hide and seek is definitely a favorite of hers, but even more than that she loves to run and hide from me and Matt. Every single night when she hears the bath water turn on she yells out "Olivia lets hide" and will go racing to the couch and lay down flat on her belly...convinced that if she can't see me, I can't see her.
6. She has an serious obsession with mints. She has rarely eaten a mint (much to her dismay), but is passionate about keeping a mint in her pocket.
7. She loves to trick people.
8. She loves to cook. She loves to sit on the counter and prepare food with me.
9. She loves to help. "I want to help!!!" is a phrase you hear often from Lyla...don't even think about cleaning the toilet by yourself if Lyla's around.
10. She loves to be super silly...something she picked up from her big sis.
