Today was certainly a Lily day. Again, I should stress that there is no scorekeeping with my kids. Unless of course it is a total blowout like today was, where you just can't close your eyes to the obviousness of who wins. Abby's had her share of these days.
Here's some of the reasons Lily ruled today:
She put a duck puppet on her hand and adopted a gravelly alter-ego voice and tried to make him talk. It was jibberishy hilariousness.
When we were at Sovereign Grounds this morning, she played by herself nicely. When I told the girls, "We get to go to Home Depot after this," she lifted up her shirt, pointed to her belly button, and said, "Bee bo?" Depot. Bee bo. Same thing. Cute as all get out.
She said "God bless you," today after someone sneezed, with absolutely no prompting from anyone, just the sneeze.
She did a fair bit of sharing, also. Sure she filled her normal quota of taking things away, but she shared too. When I gave the girls a couple cookies for a snack, Abby inhaled hers and started whining for more. Lily walked over and gently thrust her cookie into Abby's hand. Astounding. I was so taken aback by this gesture, my appendix immediately burst and I had to go the hospital. That's not true at all, but still...very lovely moment.
As a whole, in general, she was just a card. Very easy to be around.
Today should be remarked upon for it being their very first trip to Home Beebo. Our stay was brief; long enough only to peruse the masonry bits, hardware, and the gutter section before heading off again. Not even time enough to let them out for a run around the aisles and into the cutting station in the lumber section. Next time!
Day two hundred and twenty nine.
