Double Birthday Wishes Today:
Happy Birthday to my beautiful big sister, Andrea. Have a great one, Andi!
And Happy Birthday to my oldest online friend, Karen. Party on, Hoobie!
My neighbour bought one of those little finger skateboards for her kids. Her four year old son, Winston soon lost interest in it and went on to do other things. It was then offered to his two year old sister, Lily who gladly accepted the gift.
Having seen others use one, she examined it closely, trying to determine just how to approach it.
And approach it, she did.
It's too small, Mommy. Take it back.
In the meantime, my other neighbour's son, Ryan and his dog Raven knew exactly how to skateboard.
And now, without further delay, here are the Posts of the Week. The icon below is yours for the taking if if your blog post is named as a POTW.

Ryan and his pup have discovered a very good, and relatively safe (I think) use for a skateboard.
Still, I think a helmet would have been good. Or is that a horse-riding helmet?
Great post, Hillary.
I'll be sure to check out these blogs. Thanks.
Once again, thank you, Hilary, for introducing glimpses of worlds beyond my own horizon!
I only visited Robin so far, but that was already a such a touching experience, thank you! Will come back and visit more of your winners as time allows.
Cheers from a rainy early morning in Vienna,

Oh, that little skateboarder is a doll! And congrats to the POTW!
How can Lily be two years old? Wasn't she just a baby last week?
(Love the pic of her foot on the mini-skateboard)
Nothing like a two-year-old to put things in perspective.
I keep wondering if you are going to the lake.
Oh my goodness - that little foot on the tiny skateboard is precious beyond words!!! Adorable!
That little girl with the skate board was hilarious!

Well, thank you Hilary... And you know me and my love for people-pics - a lovely set you have here...

I love Lily, her idea to test out the skateboard is wonderful
Ryan and his pup look very close, makes me smile
great group ... and its amazing to see how little Lily has grown from the tiny toddler to this little miss .. sweet
Lil's face is priceless. She is so cute.I like her way of using the skateboard.
Lily is adorable...and practical.
Thanks so much for the POTW mention, Hilary. You're too kind.
Cute pictures! She's adorable. And thanks for the POTWs. Where you find time to do all this, I just don't know. :-)
the skateboarding is too cute!
SOOO glad you chose gail's bird partying post! i died laughing on that last night!!! :)
have lots of other folks to visit. thanks, as always, hilary!
once again - a wonderful set of choices. touching, funny, amazing. :)
Ha! Of course she needed to put her foot on it! My middle school students love those little skateboards, so in a few years Lily's brother may ask for it again. Something to play with in class...
Thank you for the POTW! I will be sure to visit the others too.
Dear Hilary, what a cutie that little girl is. It must have been amusing to watch her figuring out that mini skateboard.;) You take the best images of kids and for someone who has tried it, I know it is anything but easy.
Thank you for the POTW mention, I got aware by this through lovely comments at my place. What a true surprise and I am so flattered that you liked my writing enough to include it here today.:))
Have a great rest of the week dear friend,
xoxo
Fantastic pictures.
The shot of her feet is too good.
The photos of Lily with the tiny skateboard are so sweet! That first picture where she's trying to make sense of it is too funny.
Thank you for selecting my Partying is for the birds post! I'm truly honored. I know it's going to be a good day when I win a blog award. :)
Thank you so very much for the POTW! Much appreciated!
I have never heard of a finger skateboard and wouldn't have a clue what to do with it, either--LOL! She's a cutie pie! The boy and dog have the real thing and a great ride. ;)
Loved all the blog post choices and especially the last one by Sharon called a Very Special Day.
How awesome.
That just made me giggle so much when she had her little foot on it!
Love how little ones imitate the big ones. Always love your POTW and discovering new folks! Thanks for all your work in that!
Hilary: You are a sweetheart for even considering me for POTW. Thank you SO much, my friend!
She's a cutie that Lily, Hilary. Good for her for enjoying the tiny skateboard. Thanks for the POTW - Dave
What a treat! Children and critters, all doing what they do best.
(p.s. thanks for the shout-out)
That little girl and her little skateboard are adorable. Those eyes!
Thanks for highlighting the turtle post. You are a peach!
