My favorite part of the holidays is the part between Christmas and New Years. I love that we are no longer busy. We have time to just be. After Christmas I spent an enormous amount of time playing with Lily.
Her new favorite game is us going into her room and me pretending to be Lily and her pretending to be Mommy. She proceeds to tell me exactly what I can and cannot do. Mostly what I cannot do. She takes toys away from me and tells me to play with this other toy instead. She takes toys away from me and tells me how I should be playing with it. We do puzzles and she gives me the pieces I am allowed to put in the puzzle and tells me where exactly to put the piece. Oh my word. I cannot help but wonder if this is her perception of how I treat her? Of course it isn't the reality of how I treat her, but is it her perception? Maybe she is just a bossy little girl. Since then I have caught myself being bossy and I am taking a serious break from telling Lily exactly how to play with her toys.
Here is a photo shoot. I try to get a good photo of Lily to send to family, but it never seems to work. I think if you look at all the pictures together they are hilarious. But, none of them on their own is very good.
Happy New Year!

I Think I May Have A Screw Loose

I saw my podiatrist yesterday. One part of my foot is still hurting (it's
been almost two months since the surgery). He thinks it may be one of the
screws ...

It was a wide awakening for me the day my daughter stamped her foot and yelled at me. Until then I hadn't realized how often I did it and how inappropriate it was. She was about Lily's age. It was a good thing, because like you I began to change my behavior. I even got a book about anger management from the library that was a huge help.
All the very best to you and yours in 2008!)
i like numbers 1 and 6 the best. i just made a photo collage postcard to send to relatives because i just could not narrow down the choices!
so glad you are enjoying the relaxing playtime. i am doing much of the same and it's just lovely.
happy new year!
I think all the pictures of Lily are adorable.
She is awfully cute! Send them all, in a collage.
Oh, I think the pictures are wonderful! Have a great New Year's!!!
All those pictures are great! I especially like the 010 one...
Thanks for sharing the photos of Lily Marsha. She's a lovely little girl. Happy New Year to you all!
Isn't it great how our children teach us? Even when they don't know it?
Lily is adorable...one of those little girls that look as if they can do no wrong, lol!
Happy New Year to you and your family, Marsha!
Oh I think they are all good. She is beautiful and has such a pretty smile. I loved hearing about the game.
She is beautiful. I like them all. My daughter used to play a version of that game called "Missy Fussy" when she was 3. It also included shouting at me to "clean my room, missy fussy!"... I wonder where she got it from???
Jake will yell at me " I can't do everything!" Lord help us all! I think it is how they learn to express themselves, good and bad. Love the pictures.
Lily is such a lovely girl. I can't get over how grown she is!
RYC: Run a 10K??? Maybe, I will work towards that goal, then we can run through the casinos as we play the slots! LOL I will let you know how I am doing, but don't be expecting anything to soon! Thanks for the suggestion.
lily looks beautiful!
happy new year!
I agree with Meno. Lily is adorable...I would send them all.
A happy New Year to you.
Impossible to pick favorite pictures as all Lily's pictures are wonderful, she is so cute.
