The Return of the Lily Challenge!
The Lily Challenge – Weeks 1 & 2
Well, I decided to bring back The Lily Challenge this year. What is The Lily Challenge you ask? It is the challenge of taking Lily’s picture every day for a month straight. Anyone who knows me knows this is a significant challenge for me. I first did it back in March of 2010 (read Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and our Final entry) . I chose to do it to mark the milestone of her first birthday and felt her fifth birthday would be a great time to bring it back.
The fun part this time around was having Lily involved in the planning process. I asked her if she would let me do this project with her. She said yes and followed that with, “Let’s make a list of the photos we can take!”
I bring you the first two weeks…
Day 1 – Reading Bedtime Stories
Day 2 – Playing the Piano
Day 3 – “Is that Lily or a robot?”
Day 4 – “Shooting” Snowy Owls
Day 5 – Breakfast at Mimi’s
