On Saturday we got Lily's certificate of Citizenship in the mail. It is official-- she is a US Citizen. Lily is doing so well. She is such a delight. Lily and Kylee played all day Saturday and got along so well. It really is different having tow little ones to keep up with and it definitely causes me to "feel my age" but it is so much fun. We had a nice visit from a friend and her beautiful 18 month old daughter adopted from Guatemala. The girls had fun playing and us "older moms" laughed about how much harder it is to get off the floor after playing. All in all it was a fun day with lots of giggles, smiles and hugs.
Over the weekend, Lily even gave me a kiss when I asked for it. It happened twice and has not been repeated, but it is a start. A few days ago she leaned over and kissed me when I was not expecting it and that has happened a few times, but normally she will not kiss me when I ask her to. Sometimes she will turn her cheek to me for me to kiss her, but she is pretty stubborn. So I was thrilled when she actually gave me a kiss when I asked for it. She really is a sweet little girl and she was so happy to see Daddy come home on Sat. I think he is enjoying having her as a little buddy and Kylee will look at her and say, "She's just a little Whitney." Wonder where she heard that???
For those who don't know what that means...it translates into she is a happy-go-lucky, busy, looking for something to get into, messy, smiling while doing something she shouldn't- toddler who we hope will grow up to be as kind and successful and loving as her big brother, Whit. And Kylee is taking on the role of big brother, Bryan- the smart intellectual who tattles on the little one and tries to deal with the constant copy-cat from the little one who wants to be just like her. She is compliant and sweet and eager to please and we hope that she grows up to be like her brother, Bryan- smart, successful, and loving...and it would be cool if she wants to be a pilot too!

ReplyDeleteI didn't want to do this but I guess I am going to have to favor Lily, the happy, lovable and soon to be pilot! Now if only you could've given her a boy's name!!! Reading Kylee's words "She's just a little Whitney" and hearing her voice in my head was hilarious. That is seriously funny stuff. I'll pray that you have the continued energy to keep up with the girls and that Lindsay improves daily.
ReplyDeleteI have a checkride in a few days so pray that I'm not "messy" or don't "do something I'm not supposed to do" :) I love you all lots and miss you!
