Never Forget...

Never forget how cute and innocent they are at 3. Yesterday we went to the Orioles' game with Grandmommy and Granddaddy. Lily didn't watch much of the game, but she found ways to amuse herself. At one point she came over the the seat next to me. She situated herself with her back on the seat and her legs up the back. She played for a while tipping her head over the edge and laughing as if it were the funniest thing in the world. Lily has a very contagious laugh, watching her enjoy herself brings a smile to my face almost all the time. She plays some other games with herself, or so I thought. The next thing I know she's looking over at me with a big grin on her face and says, "The people LOVE me!" I guess she was entertaining the people behind us as well;-) It was so funny because she was just innocently trying to say that the people behind us liked her, but it sounded so diva-esque. One might have thought she was a Broadway star the way she made her proclamation with such confidence and feeling;-)

Sweet Lily

Last night we were sitting at the dinner table and out of the blue Lily said, "You want to know somping[something]? I really love Grandma. She's so cute!"

I thought Grandma might like that;-)

Memorial Day

It's nice to see the real reason for Memorial Day recognized.

Thanks to all those who sacrifice so much.

Did you read the sign? All I have to say to that is AMEN!

Princess Lily

Yesterday Lily informed me that when she grows up she wants to be a princess with all the "stuff", as she made a grand motion from her tiara area and along her imaginary fancy dress. She will have a princess crown, princess shoes, a pretty dress and a bwasewet [bracelet].Then she told me how Ryan is going to make her married like daddy makes me married. (hee) She really loves her big brother. You'd think they would fight less. ::sigh::
I asked her what she would do when she is a princess and she said, "When I'm on the stage I will dance." I suppose she thinks that's what princesses do. It must be why she puts on her princess costumes when she dances. She'll say, "I need to do my dance!" Then she will run up and get a princess dress and shoes. She'll turn on a CD and dance, dance, dance. Sometimes she'll get Ryan to dance with her. They are so cute!

Splash

What do you do when there is a short break in the seemingly never ending rain storm?

You bust out the rain boots and camera and hit the streets looking for good puddles to splash.

Sadly, I had to convince Lily to splash. Once she got going she had a good time.
