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’.
