Lil Tidbits

Conversations that have taken place lately with my girl:




Lily: "I wanna be an astronaut when I brow up, mommy. What do YOU want to be?"




Fabulous question, Lily. Mommy is still trying to figure that one out. I'll get back to you.









I was watching TV while Lily was in the kitchen coloring...two of the characters on the show were arguing - Lily looked up from her project and yelled: "Hey! Talk nicewee people!"









Lily asked me for a cookie...as I was retrieving said cookie from the fridge she asked me AGAIN for a cookie. I looked at her and said "Lily, I am in the process of GETTING your cookie!" And she said, "Oh!! Thank you for being such a good wistener!"









We are practicing her letters. She is very receptive to this - she tries very hard to pronounce her words correctly, but she still has a lot of trouble with several letters. She is currently working on her L's...She can say her name correctly (if she concentrates) and is now LiLy instead of YeeYee. I think she has mastered the tr sound. Treat is now Ta-reat instead of pweet. And truck is ta-ruck instead of pwuck. "But I still gotta pwactice the Ta-ricky wetters, I mean Letters!"







Random funny: Driving in the car she tells me from the backseat "Turn this song off mommy, it makes my eyes water!"




This morning she woke up to the sound of Jay scraping our cars in the driveway..."Momma, come pwick! Wook! Who's outside!?" I came upstairs to see only her bootie hanging out from behind her window shade. I looked out with her and saw Jay standing there waving. Lily asked me what he was doing. I told her he was scraping the snow off our cars..."But I don't want daddy to do that. I want the snow on EVERYTHING...it's so pretty."








And I'll end with this: While we were playing with her sticker book she put a sticker in its proper place without me telling her where it went - I asked her "How did you know the sticker went there?" She said "Cuz I'm smart."




Me:"Lily, did you know that your momma loves you?"




Lily:"Yes. Did you know that I really love you too?"




Me:"Yes, but I still don't know how I got so lucky."




Lily: "Cuz I love you?"




Me: "Yeah, how did I get so lucky?"




Lily: "Cuz God gave me you."




So, as my sappy eyes start to fill with tears I see her grab one of the three tic-tacs I had given her and pop it into her mouth...then she looks back at the remaining 2 tic-tacs and says "I'll eat you in a second."




She melts my heart and then cracks me up...over and over and over again.










































Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!!!! Did anyone else watch "Kai Lan" on Nick Jr? Lily was counting to three in CHINESE at dinner tonight because of that sweet show. She's like a Chinese Dora. Love it!
