So that goal of making headway on blog posts during the break clearly has not come to fruition. I blame Greta still sleeping poorly (only rarely do we get the hours from 8-10 to ourselves, usually one of us has to go and get her back to sleep), Nick using the computer to write letters of recommendation and give his students feedback on their personal statements for grad school, and the good book I am reading. But, with four days until school starts up again, I am going to try my darndest to get caught up on posts.
Here is post one, an easy one while I take advantage of the girls napping (although I did just come back down after rocking Greta back to sleep. It is never a good sign when you walk in after she's been crying for a bit and she's sitting up . . .). Here is a collection of Lilly sayings over the last many months.
-Found out someone rode a motorcycle to our house. Her first question was, "Did he wear a helmet?" When Nick said yes she said, "tell him good job!"
-After picking a basil leaf that had been rinsed clean by the rain, “Next time it rains, remind me to thank the rain!”
-Lilly: Mom, can I have another balloon?
Mom: No, one at a time is good.
Lilly: Dad, can I have another balloon?
Dad: Do you think I will give you a different answer than your mom?
Lilly: Yup.
-Had spit up from Greta on her pants. When Nick asked if she wanted to change her pants since the spit up might stink she said, “No. My friends won’t care.”
-While playing fire fighters, Greta was the Dalmatian. She asked us “What is that thing that dogs pee on?” When we said “fire hydrants” she said, “Yes, this can be the fire hydrant.”
-What if we had five heads? What if we had two heads? We’d put on music and do the hokey pokey.
-On our way home from the library before Thanksgiving, Lilly asked me when it was going to be Thanksgiving. I said next Thursday, and that if everyone is healthy, we’ll go down to Eau Claire on Wednesday. She replied, “Why? Grandma is a nurse and Grandpa is a doctor.” (since we see nurses and doctors when we are sick, we can just go and they can take care of us)
-Greta had a fever, we were trying to find the number for the nurse hotline, so we let Lilly watch TV before brushing her teeth, “I hope I don’t get cavities while I watch TV!”
-While having lunch with her cousins this Christmas, they were trying to get her to say different people were funny looking. She kept saying no. Someone brought up that Owen's front teeth were only halfway in, doesn't that make him look funny? Lilly said, "He's working on it!" - Love that she was defending him!
-On Tuesday this week, playing outside in the fresh snow, Nick told her it was time to go inside. She informed him, “You are only young once!”
-I was telling Nick that the way the government slips all sorts of other unrelated to the budget type things in with the budget makes me angry. Lilly told me I should tell them to stop.
-She's obsessed with her doctor, Dr Gang. In the car we were talking about how no one is perfect. She informed me that Dr Gang is perfect.
