Lily Stories

I had meant to share this story with everyone last week, but time got away from me.  We recently had the babies rooms painted, Lily's was painted a light purple with a hint of blue, and the baby boys was painted a light green which will go well with his Winnie the Pooh decor.  I was very happy to finally have this project done with.  After the painters had cleaned up and left there was a bit of paint left over, and I had left the cans in the hall, not knowing where I was going to store them.  I assumed the lids had been properly put back on, but the next day I found out differently, right before Lily and I were headed out the door to catch to bus to go to buy groceries I heard Lily just start screaming, I came running out of my room to find her sitting in the hall surrounded by purple paint!  She had tried to lift one of the cans up, and it was too heavy for her and as it fell down the lid came off and she was in a puddle of purple paint.  Now looking back I wish I would have gotten a picture of it, but at the time all I could think about was that I had fifteen min. to fix this mess before we had to be on the bus!  Lily was plopped right into the bath so the paint wouldn't dry on her, and I wiped up the mess with rags and we changed and made it to the bus on time.  Oh the joys of being a Mum.  I learnt an important lesson that day, always check the lids!

Yesterday Lily and I were walking back from the compound store and we stopped into a friends house for a visit.  Fiona has a son, David, who is three months younger than Lily, and they are cute together.  She also has two older children, a four year old and a 2 year old.  They have lots of toys at their house, and it is fun for Lily to get to play with all the new things.  Yesterday Lily used David as a stepping stool to climb onto an art table!  Fiona and I couldn't believe it.  Lily is such a little climber, I have to keep a good eye on her now.  She also decided to show off, and was walking all around Fiona's house, she hasn't done this at our house yet though!  Last night she did though, she practiced walking a lot, I think she is starting to understand that she can carry things with her if she walks.
