Never a dull moment

So Lily is 19 months old today. She is a mover and a shaker. She goes at life full throttle, head forward and running at full steam. It is hard to believe that she is a heart patient, even more so that she underwent major heart surgery. I have a cousin that went through heart surgery as a little one. My mom swears they put in wiggle juice then, and she says that Lily just proves that cardiothoracic surgeons use permanent wiggle juice on all their patients. The only time she is still is when she is deep asleep. When she is napping or in a light sleep she is all over that bed, and occasionally cries out. She is doing much better about sleeping in her own bed and not waking up screaming in the middle of the night. She is still missing a few of her teeth, especially on the bottom, but it doesn't stop her from eating, even crunchy apples. She loves fruit, pasta, but her favorite is COOKIES! She loves her Nilla wafers. She can even say the word cookie, very clearly and cries when we close the pantry doors so that she can't reach the box or point to it. Speaking of the pantry, if the doors are open Lily thinks it is snack time(even if she just got up from a meal.)
Lily is also a talker. We thought we were in the clear. Grace has talked from the moment she first opened her eyes.(we are still waiting on her to shut up). Lily started off slow, but was not to be outdone by her sister so she talks, over and above everyone. Her favorite thing to do is talk to Mickey during Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I have heard her say oh toodles right along with Minnie. She also uses words such as peas(please), tatoo(thank you), Ceecee(Gracie), Baby(doll or an actual baby), p baby(Grace's lovey Pink Baby), git down(get down usually from a meal) BALL(always with emphasis), duck, quack, Diddy(daddy), Papa, Mamaw, and on occasion she says Mommy.
Lily is a constant reminder of the blessings of children, she makes us laugh as she develops her own personality.
Grace is finishing her Kindergarten year and loving it. Unfortunately she missed her first in house field trip yesterday. She has had a lot of trouble with her allergies this spring. They put her on a prescription antihistamine, a prescription nose spray and eye drops. Yesterday morning the allergies, along with the bus ride and her high gag reflex got the best of her. As she was sitting in bus duty yesterday morning she vomited all over herself, the cafeteria table and the floor. As I got to work yesterday my cell phone rang, letting me know I had to come pick her up. Once I got there she seemed fine. She even asked if we could go to Wendy's for lunch. She spent the day at home eating, toast, pasta, and anything else that I would let her. She wanted to stay home and rest today, but no way was I putting up with that. So off to school she went and I haven't heard from her since.
So here is to a restful weekend that will as usual be filled with activity. Have a good one!
