New Talents

Lily has weighed the options and chosen sides-she's joining the blankie ranks (instead of a stuffed animal like her sister). She's always liked this blankie, but has just recently started wanting it with her other than to sleep with.

But, on to the new talents...first off, and most annoying, is that Lily has learned how to crawl up on the couches. I HATE it when the kids learn this-for some reason it is the funnest thing on the planet to climb up & then jump around, causing all adults to constantly be in a half sit, half stand position ready to grab her when she falls off the couch & onto the coffee table. We have started the (screaming) process of reminding her that the couch is for sitting & if she won't she has to get down-that doesn't make her happy. And, for as easy-going as she has been, the girl has a deep-down red-headed temper (no offense). Not to mention she is extremely bull-headed, which she clearly gets from her father (he..he...)!

When you ask her what she has in her mouth (which is frequently), she gets an ornery grin, says "I don't know!" & runs. She can also now answer you with a "un-huh" (yes) or "naw-o" (no) to let you know how she feels. She's very much a Texas girl-has the accent down pat. It's also "Hi-ya!" & "Biiii" (bye).





And, she can play Mozart perfectly...
