Dear Diary

From my notes over the last few weeks:

______________________

Me: Lily, do you want to be like Mommy when you grow up?

Lily: (after a thoughtful pause) No.  Minnie [Mouse].

______________________

When I was doing dishes and she wanted me to cook with her.

Lily: (very seriously) Mommy, take a break.

______________________

Me: Lily, did I tell you we’re going to the circus in 2 weeks?

Lily: 1 minute.  Go circus in 1 minute.

______________________

When her toy Jessie doll (from Toy Story) fell down.

Lily: Jessie fell down.  I still love her.

______________________

When outside riding tricycles.

Lily: Crash into mailboxes!

______________________

When sitting at dinner with Michael, his parents, and me.

Lily: (looking around and smiling at everyone) Sittin’.  Like a family.

______________________

When tasting Michael’s 1% milk.

Lily: Kinda water.

______________________

After spinning in circles on the floor and stumbling around.

Lily: Floor turnin’.
