Jacob and Lily tiptoed around yesterday morning and let me sleep late.......for you waiting mums, sleep late now cos you will not be doing it again for years! I finally dragged myself downstairs shortly after 8am which may not sound like a lie-in but it was.
Lily's best friend from school turned 5 yesterday and we were invited to their house for a family lunch. All I can say is it was fantastic. The family is from India and "M" made the most wonderful dishes for us all. All authentic Indian cuisine and it was outstanding albeit a little bit hot for our pallets. She offered during the week to make something else for Lily and I said no way. When we arrived she offered to order pizza for Lily and I once again said, No. I tried to choose Lily's food carefully and when I saw "S" tearing into something I thought it would be fine for Lily.....WRONG. It nearly blew her head off of her shoulders. She had such a startled expression on her face and it was priceless. I then tasted everything on her plate and told her what to eat and she did very well. Once the birthday/Mothers day cake arrived she was not quite as conservative and dove in head first.
The rest of the day was spent together very quietly and it was just one of those days you don't want to end. When I went up to bed last night I looked in on Lily for the last time and she looked so adorable that I picked her, her bunny and her pillow up and planted her in bed between us and laughed at the idea of it. We went to bed snuggled up with the most important part of our lives even though she was fast asleep and oblivious to it all. She was more than a little surprised when she woke up this morning and found herself in our bed. Sometimes you just gotta do what you just gotta do!

My hubby and I also ended our special day with a sweet little Lily lying all cute between us -- but that is nothing new in this house. Although, it did make me grin from ear to ear last night.
