#Snowday

Today it was a snowday. There was no school. Steve could not get into work (he worked from home though). Lily did not have daycare. We got to hang all day long! It was so fun!

Lily is at the age where she entertains herself from time to time and loves to play games. She especially loves getting things for mama and dada and bringing them to us. She also loves to pretend to talk on the phone and to dance. Her most favorite game of all though is touching the buttons on the cable box and then looking back at me to say “no no no!” before she spins around, runs to me giggling and then I grab her aggressively and tickle her forever. We do this over and over again. It is so funny.

Lily also loved carrying around her spinach/kale puffs all day long and ingesting about 2 billion of them. A highlight was during breakfast when she rubbed her hair in the syrup from her pancakes. That was fantastic and required a bath immediately. She then (about 2 hours later) got yogurt in her hair, but, I just wiped it out haha. No two baths a day here.

 

Dada had a conference call during lunchtime and I was able to straighten my hair and make an actual meal using the stove while Lily wandered around. It was spectacular. I put her to bed for her nap after she had like a sip of milk. I also asked if she wanted to go to sleep and she shook her head no multiple times. But, alas, I threw her into the crib with her MyPad still on and she passed out. No tears or fighting. It is awesome. I really hope this lasts (it probably won’t).

 

We got to FaceTime with my dad and he got to see Lily walk around live which was really cool. We tried to get to her say Jah-Jah and she sorta-kinda-not-really got it. She also waved goodbye and said “bye bye” the second we hung up. Awesome.

My dream about a snowday was that we would all get bundled up and go play in the snow. Lily was definitely not into my dream. Getting her all bundled up was a chore. She hated it and threw a fit. I wrestled her to the ground and got her snowsuit on. We all went outside. For about 3 minutes. Lily wanted to be held the entire time. She did not want to touch the snow or eat it. I laid her in it to make an angel and she burst into tears. Next year my dream will happen. I just know it.

I got a little looney later in the day and put every single bow that we own in her hair. She let me do it without batting an eye or swiping anything out of my hands and left them all in there for over an hour before I took them out. She probably would have gone to bed with them in if I had let her.

We also spent some time running in circles and me walking towards her and the swinging my leg over her head which she thought was beyond hysterical. My leg may or may not have swiped her and knocked her over. Tears may or may not have happened afterwards.

She went to bed really early and hopefully is dreaming of our giggles and snuggles. I got to go to yoga this evening and had the best class. I am so glad I am back in the routine. I am committing to an entire year and will be getting my year membership on Thursday! Wahoo! I also got to enjoy some sipping chocolate after yoga with mini marshmallows! Yummy! What a great day!

A little light reading siting Indian style … Christmas books have no season

Her little face and profile melts my heart

I made Israeli Couscous with feta, grilled chicken, red onion and lemon juice – it was divine 

Selfie outside – was not impressed

Family in the snow! All bundled up with our teeny bear

Every single bow we own

Yummy!

And some videos from the day! 🙂

Loves to find her belly button and will randomly pull up her shirt to make sure it is there still … when she sits she has to pull up her entire belly to see it which is so funny

 

When the Micky Mouse Club House theme song comes on Lily likes to “dance” and by dance, I mean wave her finger around and sometimes bounce in one place … she looks like she is at a rave

 

Every. Single. Bow.
