More Lilly-isms

I jotted a few ridiculous things Lilly said recently on the notepad and realized there are some pre-Greta I have yet to share. Here are a few statements for your Monday enjoyment. 

Pre-Greta:

~Lilly was a handful trying to get out the door in the morning.  We are down to the van while our friends borrow the car to come over when I go into labor.  Lilly wanted both of us to drop her off in the morning.  She was running around avoiding us, refusing to open her mouth to get her teeth brushed, etc.  While we were driving me to work, she asked, “Are mommy and daddy dropping me off?”  We told her no, that we were running late because she was running around and mommy needed to get to work.  Her response, “Tomorrow I will be more focused.”

~Also on the drive, “Does the van still have snow tires?”  We replied yes, to which she said, “we should take them off.”  Thanks kiddo.  We’ll get right on that.

~I told Lilly she had marina and ketchup from ear to ear.  I wiped her face.  When I was done she said, “can you get my ears?”

~Trying to get her gloves on with Nick and not being successful.  “I don’t think this is a Daddy job.”

~At the 30 minute check on you time at bedtime (after finishing up Frozen earlier that evening where the setting of things was important to her) “I call this my room prison".  I let day care know why she was calling her room a prison. 

Post-Greta

~Lilly and I were about to head downstairs. Nick was in our room with Greta and I wanted to tell him when she needed to eat again. I told Lilly, "I need to tell your dad something."  Lilly's response, "Are you going to tell him the truth?"

~I was upstairs feeding Greta. Nick was downstairs with Lilly getting breakfast set. 

Nick: I am going to see if mom wants a bagel.

Lilly: I want one too but I want mom to cook it.

Nick: I can cook it too.

Lilly: You two can work it out.

~She wanted a silly story. I tried telling her a knock knock joke.  "Listen to my words, I want a silly story."

~Our only other moment where Lilly was verbalizing her preference to be an only child. I came into the dining room after putting Greta down.  Lilly said, "Look! It is the whole family!" Nick said, "What about Greta?" Lilly, "She's the extra."
