I took a little time off from the blog because I’ve been very busy the last few weeks. We’ve celebrated first birthdays, had a very successful Walk-N-Roll, gone on a little mini-vacation, battled illnesses and adjusted to a new shift at Walter’s job to name a few.
Along the way, Lilly has been more entertaining than usual. Here are a few of her recent shenanigans…
***************
Lilly: Mama, does milk come from cows?
Me: Yep!
Lilly: Them has to get the milk out. They just reeeeach in them butts and squeeeeze the milk out of them butts…
Me: [spits milk back into cup–becomes lactose intolerant]
***************
Lilly: What does a fox eat?
Me: I don’t know…probably mice or rabbits.
Lilly: No! Them eats seahorses and puffins!

We went to the bakery one morning to get donut holes. They ALWAYS put 12 into a little brown paper bag and we pick up a few dozen. I handed Lilly a bag and she got irate that they were not in a BIG brown paper bag. As in grocery bag sized. She threw a massive tantrum and ultimately decided not to eat the donut holes because they were not packaged to her expectations. (God bless her future husband.)

Lilly wanted me to zip her jacket for her but was already upset as she approached me. I tried to zip it and she informed me that she wanted the zipper part on the other side of the zipper. I explained to her that it’s just how the zipper was made and that I couldn’t just take that part off and put it on the other side. What happened next would have made Linda Blair blush. (God have mercy on her future husband.)

Epic Lilly-fit #3
Lilly wanted to be a unicorn for Halloween. So I scoured the internet trying to find one that wasn’t slutty. The one we decided on was cute and colorful and she loved it! On Halloween night she decided that she did not like the horn and wasn’t going to wear it. I asked her to please put it on once so that I could get a picture and this was the best I got…the aftermath of her tantrum. And to all those people who asked her if she was Rainbow Brite, I will apologize on her behalf for the look she gave you when she barked “I’m a unicorn!” It was a rookie mistake, y’all. (No worries about her future husband. God bless me, right now!)
