Funny Lily

Lily always tells on herself. It's hilarious...

Today at lunch:

Lily: Mama go outside!?

Me: Why do you want me to go outside?

Lily: I spit out my peach.

Me: You are going to spit out your peach when I go outside?

Lily: Yes Mama. You go outside I spit out peach.

Mhmmm...let me think for a minute, but I don't think I am going to leave the room...

Lily is very much into pretend play right now. If you see her holding her hands cradled up to her chest she is very likely is holding a pretend Baby. And if I ask her to do something that requires her to use her hands she will very carefully put her invisible "Baby" down and pick it back up right after she is finished. Very cute. I remember Emmi doing the same thing right around this age.

Emmi has been going to Summer Camp for a couple of weeks and Lily is very jealous. I felt bad for her thinking she really misses her sister, but apparently she was only jealous that Emmi got to take a backpack full of food with her in the mornings. So Oma sent Lily her own backpack that I have to fill up now every morning when we go to drop off Emmi. As soon as we get back home Lily goes and sits at her little table to eat all the goodies in it. She now takes her Backpack everywhere and she never forgets to make sure it is fully stocked before we leave the house.

Lily is quite the bad listener. She just doesn't care. And if I get mad at her and punish her by taking away her toy for example she just plops down on the ground crying for Papa. "Mama said NO! I want my Papa! Mama said NO!" I wonder what she thinks he is going to do?
