"Lilyisms"

It been awhile since I have made the time to post. But the Christmas drive went AWESOME! I can't believe all the people who donated to this sweet family. I received small cash donations all the way to two brand new skate boards, 2 new mtn bikes, clothes and the list goes on and on. It always suprises me how willing and loving people are. It made my Christmas :)

Next on to my funny Lily.

Now that she is 2 1/2 she is super grown up. She says things to me like, "don't worry mom, I'm just chilling", and "Bensen, that is not approbiate!". She also gets herself dressed in the morning usually before I even know she is awake. And she is pretty good at finding food for herself out of the pantry. She likes to exercise like her mommy and can do some seriously awesome full body push-ups!

The other night I put Lily to bed. Then I closed her door (not completely shut cause she has never liked that) and headed into the boys room to give them there hugs and kisses. When I was done with the boys I heard something coming from Lily's room. So I opened up the door, and there she was fumbling around in the dark. I said "Lily what are you doing?? It's bedtime..." and she said "Mom I'm looking for my nail polish I want to paint my nails!" Of course she is the cutest thing ever, so I took her into my room and we had a little bonding time (even though she was supposed to be fast asleep).

I painted her nails the new color that we had bought earlier that day at Walmart. She then decided that it was my turn to have my nails painted and she was going to do it...



Sorry if you have an aversion to feet, but she did so good for her first time!!



I love love love this little girl of mine.

p.s. Thanks Kym for the "isms" idea :)
