Just Lily

Before I start with Lilys latest antics: if anyone is interested in getting a custom made bracelet for themselves (see yesterdays post) and their daughter in beads and a design of their choice, with the professional opinion of Emma thrown in, just let me know and I will pass on her email addy to you. I received an email today and she would be very happy to make them.

So today Lily and her dad went out for the morning and then I came home at lunchtime to take over the mummy duties. I went upstairs to change and she tagged along. The nut job was running around on our bed when I pointed out something to her. The twit didn't stop and just kept running but she turned her head to look at what I was showing her and ran right off the edge of the bed. I swear it was the funniest thing I have ever seen her do. Our bed is very high and she plummeted to the floor. The look on her face was priceless. She looked at me and said, "was I running in mid air mummy?" Then I couldn't hold it in any longer and I exploded into hysterical fits and she followed suit. Perhaps we should have called her Grace!

We had to run an errand this afternoon and I stopped in at Old Navy to see if they had a shirt for her and she saw a bikini that she liked, It was a whopping $5 so I figured I would get it. We scoured the shop looking for her size and just spotted one and this woman swooped in and snagged it. (Can you say, HAG?) We searched the whole shop but there was not another one to be had so we bought something else and once we were in the cue to pay I realised that the hag was in front of us. She held up the 2 bikinis she had and asked the sales man to help her choose one. I immediately put my hand over Lily's mouth so that she wouldn't show any interest and in my head told her to buy the other one. She chose the one Lily wanted. I told Lil we would try another shop. The chap rang her up and she handed over her credit card and it was declined. She went back to her wallet and tried again, ZING...declined again. I figured she would pay cash but she didn't she left the stuff and walked out. Lily got her new bikini! She was so happy and kept saying, "because I'm lucky" in a really freaky voice.
Since she had a new bikini we had to go for a swim.

I'm cracking up over here, Dawn. I can picture her running in mid air and then you both exploding in laughter!

The story about the HAG was also hilarious. Declined!! YES!
Lily's new bikini is too cute, and what a little fish she is! I can't wait for my Lily to NOT be afraid to get her face wet.
