She's looking out for mommy!
These are some of Lillian's latest statements.
Putting her to bed this week
I am going to pull your head off and keep it in my bed forever because it is so beautiful mommy. Would you like that?
When I'm sleeping and in case you fall down or get hurt or get a cut on your finger, you just go and get yourself a band-aid OK mommy?
If you get hungry I have an apple for you but only if you get hungry and only eat that apple OK is you get hungry you know.
If you hear the toilet flush while you are napping, it's OK. Don't be scared. You just come find me and I will tell you it is just the potty.
In case you hear a loud crashing noise when I napping, it's just me making lightning or telling stories and stuff. Don't be scared. But if you do get scared, just go to your room for some quiet time and it will be OK.
You are the sweetest mommy of all. You make the best drawings, the best turtles, the best beds, the best eyes and the best pillows.
If a glass breaks of a bowl falls down or if you need help finding Cleo or Streak I will help you. Just come and wake me up and I will help you.
On our way to the pool
What do we do if we get water in our eyes?
What happens if we get hungry at the pool? I will really need a snack if I get hungry while we are at the pool.
It will make your itch feel better OK mommy. (Mommy has a BAD case of poison ivy and the doctor suggested going to the pool.)
I'm not going to poke your itch. I just want to touch them. See that did not hurt silly mommy.

Busy Day
Tuesday was a very day for us. We had to toake Elsie to the vet in the morning. Lillian had a good time playing with the model of cat teeth. We got home with just enough time to give Elsie her medicine and get dressed for gym class. Lillian also helped give Elsie her medicine by dancing around and telling me "Don't force her mouth open Mommy."
After we attened our last class of gym, we had to go to the doctor for mommy. Lillian amused herself with the medical equipment tray. Then we set off to the pharmacy to fill a prescription and we played with the greeting cards and baby stuff aisle. Lillian had to eat her lunch in the car and we finally made it home just in time for a nap.
After nap we headed to the pool where Lillian dog-paddled her way all across the pool for almost 2 hours. We stopped to play in the splashpark before heading home to dinner.
While we were drying off at the pool, Lillian used the potty. No big deal but this time she asked to go into the stall all by herself. I let her and she climbed up on the potty by herself, wiped and flushed. I was restricted to holding the door closed. She wanted to lock the stall door but I would not her. What a big girl she is becoming.

Goodbye Gym Class
Today was Lillian's last day of gym class. She really has come a long way from the first few visits when I threatened leaving if she did not listen to the teachers.

What a Wonderful Day
Today was an almost perfect day. We got up and moving and Lillian and I hit the farmers market to pick up our weekly produce with the CSA we belong to. We swung by the house to grab daddy and headed to the fairgrounds by 9:30. We were going to the Good to be NC Festival. I thought is was just going to be an inside event with vendors hawking their NC grown products.
But when we got there, it was like a mini state fair. And we do like a fair! The actual inside event did not open until 11:00 but next door was a Health & Fitness Expo so we went to that. Lillian had a blast walking through a blood vessel and tasting healthy samples of water and protein bars and visiting the "nice bathroom."
After that we headed to the NC Festival where we sampled more goodies, although not nearly as healthy. Lillian ate peanuts, lots of different meat on toothpicks (she will almost anything on a toothpick), lots of chutneys and a bit of chocolate. And she got to have her very first freezer pop - those kind with the electric colors in the little plastic tube.
Once we were done there, we headed to the midway so we could ride rides. I rode the strawberry ride with Lillian and daddy rode the double Ferris wheel with her. I will admit that I was quite paranoid about the Ferris wheel. It was so high and no safety belt. I told her that she had to hold on to daddy and gave daddy the same warning. When they got on, Lillian wrapped herself around daddy just like I told her! Daddy let her ease up and then the ride started. She had a great time looking at all the below that looked like ants. I did have some tears in my eyes as they rode on the ride. She seemed so small to be on such a big ride but all ended well.
In the car she practiced giving us some of "Dorothy's White Honey" samples with a straw. We headed to lunch and then home where WE ALL TOOK A TWO HOUR NAP! Then we played "Spooky Fun House" and she and daddy went out to play while I made dinner. Daddy did ask Lillian if mommy should go outside with her and she said, "No mommy stays in and cooks dinner." So much for non stereotypical gender roles I guess!
Bath time went smooth as well as the combing of the hair, teeth brushing and actually the entire bedtime routine. Lillian was in bed by 8:15 and of course got up twice to go potty but I was out of her room by 8:30 pm. And so far not a peep out of her. It was a super busy and fun day. What would have made it perfect was if I had brought a camera with me and it was not quite as hot. We had no fits, no hitting, no fussing, Lillian listened to us, walked the majority of the time at the festivals. She acted like such a big girl. Mommy and daddy were so proud of her and we had such a delightful time with her today. Thanks PeaPie and Sweet Baby!
