Christmas 2009 Stories

While at a restaurant, Mom had colored a snowman on the placemat. Someone was using a vacuum nearby and Lillian covered the snowman and said "I'll protect you Frosty". When we asked what kind of hat the snowman had she said "A magic one!"

Lil was eating a pear in Mom's lap while at the Blue Caboose kitchen. Grammy arrived from the hotel, coming into the kitchen. Lil said to Mom, "I'm all done," took off her bib and ran over to Grammy. "Grammy, I want a cookie."

Lillian at the Doctor

After getting a shot and crying she said to the nurse, "That's not very nice."  Later she got a lollipop, "That's very nice!"

Reading to the cats

Lillian looks up at us while in the bath and says, "I'm listening to the baby". She was using a water bottle for a stethoscope.

"You have a baby in your tummy, Lillian?", I asked.

"Yeah"

Lillian says "I'm a statue" and stands and pours out the cup she has.  Where did she learn that?

Sunday with Lillian

You love reading. Today we found you in your room with a book on your lap, "reading" to yourself.

You figured out you can hide in the kitchen cabinets.

Halloween at Sani's

You where at Sani's this year for Halloween. Your aunt Becca made you a Mei (from My Neighbor Totoro) costume.  Here are some pictures of you that Becca took:

There are two gold fish in the pond in the backyard. You named one Zero and mom suggested Zip for the other one.

Lillian's on a Trip

Dear Lillian,

You are visiting Sani this week, while your mom and Grammy are visiting your great aunt Billy. I missed you this morning so I set up this blog. I had great intentions to write software just for your website, but it was taking too long.

You come home tomorrow. I can't wait.

Love,

Your dad.

Let's go the Arboretum
