So after many months (let's not count) of NOT blogging about the adventures of Lily, I'm going to make an attempt to re-commit. It was a lot easier to write a coherent paragraph when she was less mobile, I have to say. Computer time is limited to post-Lily-bedtime, since she is convinced that the computer should be used solely for her entertainment - YouTube videos of puppies, and Netflix Instant-watching The Wiggles.
Lily is doing great - she is astonishingly verbal for someone who just turned two. A kid at the zoo last week was testing boundaries (that's hippie-speak for being an evil brat) and smacked Lily on the leg while we were waiting in line for the zoo train. I opened my mouth to discuss it with(verbally buggy-whip) her, but Lily beat me to it - she whipped around and said, "OW! Hey kid, why'd you do that?" Said kid looked at me open-mouthed, as Lily repeated the question to me. I answered, "I don't know Lily, maybe she'll apologize." The kid did, with a thoroughly astonished and chastised look on her face. She seemed unprepared for a 2-year-old to give her what for. It was awesome.
Meanwhile, the new baby and I have been having some serious discussions. Scooter (EDD 10/30, for those of you keeping track) seems to view all food as the enemy, and has been dishing out some killer heartburn. This is quite frustrating, since I'm now hungry ALL THE TIME. I'm pretty sure I wasn't this tired when I was pregnant with Lily, but that may be just because I could sleep every minute that I wasn't working. I've developed some new games to play with Lily, including "Run in Big Circles Around Mommy", "Bring Mommy the TV remote", and No, YOU Walk Up the Stairs, Mommy isn't Carrying You".
That's all for now - oh, the pictures up top are two of Lily's favorite birthday presents.
