Little Mommy

Today we went to the museum of art for a preschool art program and we met our friends Emily and baby Nicholas there. I think some of the "baby" rubbed off on Lillian as this is what she spent a good 30 minutes doing when we got home:



She took her doll (the doll's name is Dee Dee but today she changed it to Nicholas) for a stroll around the museum (the playroom). While at the museum she determined that Nicholas had a dirty diaper so she changed that. Lillian had all this in the stroller with Nicholas: a teether, a toy flute, an empty box of pretend cookies and a pom pom doll. In her diaper bag she packed a changing pad, a blanket (so the changing pad would not get dirty), a pair of daddy's socks (dirty), a toy doll and a pair of daddy's underwear (clean).



Lillian got a bit exasperated when trying to push the stroller ("Nicholas is so heavy!"), keep her diaper bag from falling off her shoulder, keep her sun hat on (because it was so sunny when we went to the museum) and picking up the stuff as it fell out of the stroller. She would stop and collect herself and sigh and finally she just told me to push the stroller.

She held Nicholas on her lap during our nap story time (even had his teether and shared her apple with him). She crawled in bed and said she was going to sleep with Nicholas because he might get hungry and she could nurse him!
