Lilly has a ritual after she wakes up from her naps. First she hands over the pacifier and then proceeds to play with the stuffed animals in her crib. You ask for an animal and she hands it you and you have to kiss it and give it back to her. Most of the time, the animals end up getting thrown out of the crib while Lilly laughs. When you try to get Lilly put of the crib, she plops herself down and says "No, no, no." If you try and pick her before she is ready, she kicks and starts to cry. You can easily spend 20 minutes waiting for her to decide it is time to get out of the crib. All this from a child who would cry anytime we attempted to place her in the crib.
