Dear Lil.
I can’t wait until you can talk. No offense. I’m so totally amazed and pleased with your current development which impresses Dad and I on a daily basis but I LOVE hearing hilarious stories from friends about their slightly older kids and the things they say. For whatever reason – I am so looking forward to this stage with you. I really feel like it can only give us more insight to who you are as a person.
My friend Ashley has a fantastic blog about her life as a mother and her family. It can be found at: www.intothewildness.blogspot.com. One of my favorite stories she shared on there recently was a quote from her son:
On the way to the veterinarians office yesterday, Cornell asked from the backseat: “Mom, is it illegal to drive your car with a parrot on your shoulder that has a yellow and blue mohawk?”
Hilarious. How awesome and amazing is that?
I recently came across an old book my parents bought for me titled: I’ve Been Thinking. It is a ‘fill in the blank’ book with little sentences to get you going on various topics and for parents to get a little insight to the minds of their children. I hope they still make books like this Lilian so I can buy you one day. If not we can make our own.
Here are some of my entries:
Q:Do you ever show off? Why?
A: Yes. Because it feel good.
Q: When I am alone I…
A: Think and enjoy myself
Q: What vegetable are you?
A: Tomato because I get embarassed
Q: What bugs you?
A: When people lie or I can’t remember something
Q: If you could have another name what would it be?
A: Debbie
I would love you just as much as Debbie!
