Any dreams we head for our "little princess" have been shattered by Lily's extreme love of dirt, mud, bugs, dust bunnies, the toilet, etc. On the weekends we've been working down at the new seminary compound, and Lily blissfully goes from dirt pile to dust pile, shoving dirt in her mouth as quickly as possible before we catch her. She is never happier than when she has found a chunk of dried mud or dust. I can't even imagine how much dirt she ate yesterday alone...we are working on that healthy immune system! "YUCK, Lily, YUCK!" we keep saying, washing her hands over and over. "Yug!" she always says, grinning.
Lily's new shoes are ADORABLE, and entertaining, because she spends the entire church service trying to take them off! We never make Lily wear shoes, but on Sunday mornings everyone was appalled that she was barefoot in church, so we've been putting shoes on her to make everyone happy and a band in her hair to keep everyone from asking, week after week, "Boy or Girl?"
"Doggie" is Lily's clearest and most consistent word...My sister taught it to her when she was here, and now every time she sees a dog, or a picture of one, she kicks and flails and squeals "Doggie! Doggie!" The new seminary compound has this huge resident dog, whom Lily just adores.
Lily's newest "trick" is pulling everything out of everywhere, solely for the purpose of pulling it out. Pulls all books off shelves, all toys out of her baskets, all clothes out of her drawers, not paying the slightest attention to any of it once it's hit the floor (except for her beloved cow, Daisy, whom she now like to carry around in her teeth while she crawls).
