On Tuesday, Mom, Lily, Mia and I went to Swan House for lunch. We had a great time. Not only is it a wonderful place to eat, but they have the best little gift shop there. One room is dedicated to children's things, and it's always a fun treat to stop in. I told the girls they could each pick out a little something for us to buy. Mia picked out a very cute ladybug bubble set. Lily really wanted a flower-shaped box that you paint and attach "jewels" to. It was cute but I was really trying to persuade her to get the Fancy Nancy Christmas book. Admittedly, I think the Fancy Nancy series is adorable, and Lily enjoys them too, but she really wanted the box. After a couple of my attempts to change her mind, Lily sweetly said "Mommy, if you want the Fancy Nancy book so bad, you should buy it for yourself." So, I did buy it (for all of us). Well, after her afternoon nap that day, Lily walked into the living room and kindly said "Mommy, have you read your new book yet?" Ha! We all read it that evening; for the record, all three of us loved it.
Also for the record, Lily enjoyed making her flower shaped box. When she finished it, with absolutely no prompting or suggestion, she gave it to Mia to keep in her room as a jewelry box. How sweet is that?! Both girls love the jewelry box Mom and Dad gave Lily for her birthday, and it frustrates Lily that Mia likes to come in and take her jewelry out of it. So, she made a box for Mia. Mia was thrilled and immediately ran to put it in her room. Since this loving gesture was made, there has been peace on the jewelry storage front.
