Unpacking. Organizing. Cleaning.
That pretty much sums up how I’ve been ringing in the New Year.
Unpacking because we just returned from visiting Dave’s family in New York.
Organizing because we got an influx toys and books and other stuff for Christmas and I’ve got to figure out where to put it all.
And cleaning because…well, because life is messy and we don’t have a maid
I made some New Year’s resolutions but I’m not going to list them all here because I don’t think you really care but I will say that one of them is to do a better job recording the little things the girls are saying/doing.
Because I’m a Mom, and that’s what Moms do.
So. Here are a few “Lily-isms”.
***************
Me: Oh, really? What do you like about exercising?
Lily: Well, I like taking my shirt off and doing push-ups. Like Daddy.
Oh, dear.
****************
Her version of “Patty Cake”:
”Patty cake, patty cake,
bake your hand.
Make me a cake as fast as you can.
Pat it and mark it
and put it on a B.
And make it in the elevator doop bah duh bee”
**************
Potty Humor:
On the drive to New York, we had to frequent quite a few public restrooms and Lily quickly caught on to the fact that they don’t usually smell the greatest. At one particular spot, we entered the bathroom and she cautiously sniffed the air, then said with surprise, “Oh, this one doesn’t smell bad!” About a minute later, the person in the stall next to us was, *ahem* “dropping the kids off at the pool” and Lily loudly proclaimed, “It smells stinky in here NOW Mommy!!!”
In yet another public restroom, she informed me and everyone else that “she was going to go poopy” then pointed to the stall next to us and said, “Is she going poopy too Mommy?”
***************
Da-da = Daddy
Dog-dog = any animal
And, oh yes! A recent addition to her vocabulary:
Da = Yeah
She will say this with enthusiasm in answer to basically any question you ask her.
“Sophia, are you hungry?”
”Da!!!!”
“Sophia, do you want your dolly?”
”Da!!!!!”
“Sophia, do you want a spanking?”
”Da!!!!”
And that’s all she wrote for today. Happy Friday!

Very sweet! I love your Lily-isms. I have a Lily myself, and I always tell her that I named her Lily so it would rhyme with silly because she's so silly. She truly is! Good luck with all the unpacking, organizing, and cleaning. You'll feel so great when it's done!
Oh yes, my daughter always shares her opinions of the smell of public restrooms and what everyone is doing in them, loud and clear!
Gotta love the preschool age! :)
Lily is hilarious! :)
Well, "da" means "yes" in romanian...just sayin' :) Romania is a south-eastern European country, my country
