Oh what Lily can learn from a simple visit to Burger King’s Playland. 1. She is not the only one afraid of that damn bird thing they have suspended 20′ in the air. 2. Papa can actually fit through the entire maze of tubes and slides, especially when his little girl calls for his help […]
Her Song
Russ wrote Lily a song, which he began before she was born, and concluded right about the time she was 10 months and started walking. He entitled it, “There She Goes”, to describe him watching her as she grew. Today, Lily wrote a song, which she entitled, “Here She Comes Back… Aww… I Love Her” […]
Dance Baby! Dance
Cecily and I went to her ballet class #2 today. Taos has a drop-in at Twirl and the woman who teaches the class is superb. The video speaks for itself.. But first, for a bit of reflection for “educational” purposes. 1. Lily has only been to a group activity like this twice now. She has […]
Word Construction, Roller Blades, Helping, Ratio, and Headed North?
Yeesh, the last two days have been full! Lily made a new friend yesterday, and today decided to roller blade with them (and the entire run of kids on our street), as well as Russ and I around the neighborhood. She has learned how to have mama on her blades while Lils enjoys a very […]
It's Ok, Mama's Here
There have been many, many times in the last 3.5 years when Cecily has awakened a bit in the night, or when an infant, awakened any time of the day, and I (Angie) have come to her side to sooth and solve. I think I have often said something like, “Lilybug, ______________ Mama’s here”, in […]

Her Babies
Today she rearranged everything. She took all of her clothes out of their boxes and turned them into beds instead. She is so attentive to her little ones. And then there are the creatures and critters she tends to all day long. This kid thinks of everything – she feeds, nurses, dresses, swaddles, […]
PooPayPahSay
Lily has taken to ballet. She has spent this week telling me about her poopaypahsay (that would be _________ + passé). The trouble is, I can’t figure out what she’s saying. Poupée is French for a doll (or toy babydoll, etc) and I can’t figure out how the two are associated with each […]
Asserting & Developing
Lily loves Madeline (the movie with real people – she hasn’t seen the cartoons yet and probably won’t like them as much if she does). I put on Eloise after Madeline today as I thought she’d like that too (sleepy bug, moping around, heh – movie afternoon). She insisted she didn’t like it (though never […]
Hair
She asked me to do something with her hair today that reminded her of how it feels when I twirl her hair, which helps her get to sleep. So, I twirled and twirled, and ended up with 5 little nubs. When she took them out a few hours later, we learned something…
