No way

Abby was getting her shoes on and said to Lily in a sing-song voice "Lily, time to put on your shoes".  Lily didn't look up from her puzzle, she just said, in the same sing-song voice "No waaaaaay"

Big Girl Bed

Last night, we took one of the sides off of Lily's crib, turning it into a big girl bed.  She has bee able to easily climb in and out for a while, so we decided it was time to transition.

Lily also often stays awake for a long time reading books. After hearing her awake for an hour after Abby on the monitor, Becca went upstairs to find Lily in bed with 52 books, the entire contents of one book shelf.

A few more quotes

Mama: Good morning, Abby.
Abby: Mama, are there any real banana phones?

****************
After 15 minutes of non-stop requests for snacks, clean hands, new tv show, this, that, the other thing, all while Dan just wants to sit down and drink his coffee.
Dad: You guys aren't letting me sit down for 10 seconds!
Abby: Don't worry, Dad, next time I'll wait 20 seconds.

****************
Abby: This strawberry is as big as an apple. It's mungus!

Egg Hunt

Our town had a free egg hunt on the very cold and windy Friday before Easter.

The advertisement said "11am sharp".  They weren't kidding; it was all finished by 11:05.




Lily did start putting them in her bag.  She got five or six.
