I just want to see the Bunny Pop!!

Every other Sunday James, Lily and I go to brunch together between church and James work. Then usually Lily and I go do some kind of fun activity. Last Sunday we met up with my friend Megan and her daughter Mia at Deanna Rose Farmstead. Before that though we went to Jason's Deli and right next door is one of those Spirit Halloween Stores. James thought it would be fun to take Lily in. He was holding her and they were looking at the monsters and you could tell she was pretty leery of them. And when he pushed the button to make one move, that was all it took. She immediately burst into tears and sniffled "I just want to see the bunny pops". Which meant she just wanted to see the bunny rabbits at Deanna Rose. Of course, after we left and got in the car, she said "I wanna go see the monsters". Then all week this week she as been asking to "go to store and see monsters". This morning she threatened to cry again. And then she did because we wouldn't take her right then and there. I guess we'll have to go visit the monster store again.

Lillyisms

Obviously I have been terrible about posting to the blogs, even with all the free time I have at work; so I will start a new column called "Lillyisms" which will chronicle the funny things that are said by a two year old! Quick and easy, and we have plenty of material!

The other day while Kristin was in class, I took Lillian to the indoor pool at the local community center. We had a great time swimming, and when we were done, went to the hot-tub. I got in and put Lily on the edge where she could dip her feet in. As I put her down, I said "Careful, it's hot!" Lily dipped her foot in, confirmed "It is hot," then turned to me and commanded "Daddy blow it!"

Spring Snow

Just when we thought Spring had finally arrived and come to stay:

Don't even get me started on the Jayhawk Flag. I spent several minutes this morning teaching Lily how to say "Go Tigers" and "Mizzou".

Does this snowsuit make my butt look big? Opening her gifts from "girls" ChrismasMy battery on my camera has been dead for a while, so I had pictures all the way from Christmas that had't made it to the computer yet. I fixed that yesterday while I was home with Lily (she was sick and couldn't go to school).

Late Night Hospital Visit

Kristin and I watched "W." tonight, a fairly long movie, then as we were getting ready for bed Lillian decided to start throwing up everywhere! She had watery eyes and a runny nose all day, but was fine throughout shopping and dinner. After about 3 hours of the vomiting-bath-laundry cycle, we gave up and drove to Childrens' Mercy Hospital. An hour and a half and three vomitings later (for a total of 8 or nine), the doctor finally diagnosed an ear infection and possible dehydration. To treat all the symptoms at once, she had to get an IV in her little arm (antibiotics, anti-nausea and saline)! As I finish writing this, Lillian is still "drinking" her saline, and Mr. Rogers is on the hospital TV telling us he loves his neighbors.
