I absolutely love watching Lilly grow and develop from a baby to a little girl. Even though it's happening too fast, I don't want to miss one minute seeing it take place. I do wish that I could make time stand still, more often than not! Since Christmas, Lilly has been doing a lot of make believe play. She LOVES babies, and I am just ecstatic. I want her to play with baby dolls more than anything else. Right now, we are on the right track, and it looks like I am getting my wish. We started up the stairs, one night last week, to get ready for bed. Before we started the trek, she made sure that she had collected every baby, and we took them all with us. It took her, and me, at least 30 minutes to get this situation all worked out. She changed their sleeping arrangements at least 3 times. We, FINALLY, got them all covered up and tucked tightly into bed. Then it was her turn. She gave me a big hug, we said our prayers, and she laid down. When I was leaving I hear, "Mama, Mama!" I said, "What is it Lilly?" She said, "Babies 'tiss', babies 'tiss'" That meant she wanted me to give all of her babies a kiss good night! OH MY! Of course, I did it! JUST PRICELESS!
Lilly has been with her PopPop and Grandma Shirley since Monday afternoon. Brian and I are meeting them in Oxford tomorrow (Wednesday) to get her. It has been a quiet two days. It will surely liven up tomorrow night, and if I were to bet, I am sure that we are going to have some "un-spoiling" to do!!!! That's what AWESOME grandparents are for, they tell me! How blessed our little girl is to have them!
Until next time, Love to all!
