dear lillian,

today i walked into the kitchen to find that you had taken off your overalls, socks, and shoes all by yourself. you asked for help with your shirt and then you ushered me out of the room and led me by the hand to my computer. you walked back into the kitchen and proceeded to put your socks and shoes back on by YOURSELF! your shoes were on the wrong feet but, you got them on and strapped the velcro perfectly! i don't know when you decided that you wanted to undress and dress yourself, but it's such a huge milestone and i am so very proud of you. you are so brilliant!

happy thanksgiving.

i love you.
