Lily Stories

Lily cracked me up several times today. Here are a few stories all from this morning while I was helping her get dressed.

1. She was doing a really good job of brushing her teeth, so when she finished I said "You are such a big girl! When did you turn into a big girl?" Lily looked at me and said "Thursday. I turned into a big girl last Thursday." Okay, good to know.

2. The finishing touch on her outfit this morning was her bracelet that she got at Chuck E Cheese a few months ago. She said she wanted to put it on "so I can be pretty like you." That made me feel really good!

3. Ryan, Lily, Mia and I went to the pediatric ENT's office today for their post-op follow-up. For about 5 minutes, Lily was singing a song; we tried listening, but she was singing softly; it was hard to hear everything she was saying, but what would I have given to had my video camera then! I wish I could remember everything she said. However, these were the (remembered) lyrics we heard her say in a very sing-song kind of voice. Oh, I have titled the song "Train of Thought..."

Mommy, Daddy, Mia and me are in the car. We all got dressed, and I have a bracelet. We are going to the ear doctor. My ears feel good. Mia's ears feel good. I will get a sticker. I like Charlie and Lola. I like Little Einsteins. We are all wearing coats because it is cold. Mommy's is black, Daddy's is brown, Mia's is pink and mine is ladybug. We are all in the car.
She says her coat looks like a ladybug because it is bright red with black buttons on it. When she finished she asked if we heard it, and of course we said how great it was. She said "but I couldn't finish it because I don't have a rhyme!" You couldn't tell from this song, but she loves rhyming words, and often tries to come up with rhymes. So we came up with "So we are in the car so we can drive really far" as the ending of her song. She loves music and really enjoys making up her own songs. She often makes up new songs to the tunes of familiar music which is fun to hear. She's a pretty creative little girl! I love her!
