I’m always afraid to say, “Lily, tell the teacher who we are,” because you never know what she might say in the moment of missing her parents. Then what do you tell the police!
This week we decided to eat out before going home, and pizza seemed to be the magic word in Lily’s mind this week. So, we stopped off at Brixx Pizza, home of “wood fired” pizzas!
The waitress gave Lily a lump of raw dough to play with, and some crayons. She pounded the dough, and we kept encouraging her to make a hand-print in the middle, but she decided it was much more fun to bite off little pieces and put them back on the plate. They usually take anything made by a child to the oven and bake it, but Lily wasn’t interested in playing their game.
Instead, she loved the “cave” under the table where she played with an imaginary bear! Luckily for us the place is new and the area under the table was carpeted and clean. She popped up every now and then to shout out “smile” to me holding the camera! It’s almost impossible to get a shot of wiggly 3-year-old!
Most shots are of the side or back of her head, with her still saying “smile”!
Back at home, she rode her bike, and busied herself plucking Holly Berries from the shrubs, and playing an imaginary fiddle made of a pine-cone and a stick she found.She had so much fun that we could not get her to take a nap. She lay on the bed and “rested” reading her books, saying her ABC's, and singing every song she knew.
Soon Corey arrived and she got up excited to see her dad and the prospects of seeing “her baby” (her little sister Kinsley) again!

Cool. Sounds like she runs you both ragged, but I know you love it. Bet you can't wait for her to get a little older, but not too much older. Then she'll be texting guys and running off, like someone else you know.
Yeah, Katie was here tonight. She's all excited about college and living away from home. To us it's a nightmare we must live through.
Your granddaughter is beautiful -for sure! And that pizza looked pretty darned inviting too. Would make a great "go with" to the beer I'm enjoying as I do my blog reading tonight and try to get caught up -again!
