Ila, her friend Lauren and the Shark at the zoo
Ila petting the Snake at the zoo
I'm not sure why I expected Ila to like princesses. When I was her age I just wanted a kitten or a puppy. Eventually I got into frogs, snakes and turtles. Well, she is definitely following in my footsteps. She has a closet full of princess dresses but she would much rather play with her hermit crabs (yes, we have 2, to go along with our 2 dogs and 2 cats...) and she never has seen Cinderella or The Little Mermaid. She is just crazy over Zoboomafoo and can tell you all about a macaroni penguin or a ring-tailed lemur. Her favorite outing by far is going to the Humane Society with daddy for an afternoon (I refuse to go because our 2 dogs and 2 cats would become 3 dogs and 3 cats). She knows all the animals names there and talks about them often. When a certain cat or dog isn't there anymore, she reassures me that they have gone to a good home. And if it's not the Humane Society she wants to go to, it's definitely the zoo. We recently went and she got to pet a snake and see the sharks. Another love of Ila's is singing. She does it often and does it loud...and ALWAYS makes it her own. Enjoy!
