Lilly

Lilly.

What can I really say about that girl?  She is a hoot!  Really.  Hilarious!  She does this funny thing with her eyes... think Chevy Chase.  She tells silly jokes and often adds a comedic wha wha at the end of something to signify a failure.

Tonight after her bath, I was trying to get her to focus on getting dressed.  She was too busy looking at a photo of me from when I was a little girl.

Lilly:  You were so cute when you were little.
Mama:  Thank you.  It looks like a picture of Lauren doesn't it?
L:  Yes..... You were little like me?
M:  Yup and someday you'll be big like me.  You'll be a mama with kids.  Do you want to be a mama?
L:  Nooooo!  That's silly!
M:  No, when you are older.  Do you want to have your own little kids?
L:  No.
M:  Why?
L:  I don't want to change all those stupid diapers!

(If you are aware of how difficult potty training has been with this stubborn little girl then you know how ironic her answer is!)

So now that my little darlings are in bed and actually sleeping for once, I need to head to bed myself.  I'm looking forward to week two of school and hoping that Lauren's bus ride home goes better this week.  She has cried every day this week.  She has one more week to stop crying or I am going to have to start picking her up.  Fingers crossed!
