Lylah and Henry are here sharing the
favored chair in the house. She was a
little put out the he was in her chair to start, but she quickly changed her mind. She said, "oh well...I
will sit with you, Henry? OK?" When he said nothing, she sat down. When
she got a little too loving he had to vacate. She said to me today that Henry was "Just so cute." She tries to give him things all the time and help him to be "cozily" with the addition of blankets and pillows.
Poor Lylah...he just gets up slowly and walks away while she follows after him saying,"But it's '
por' you, Henry, to be cozy."
Tonight I made the mistake of giving
Lylah a couple of marshmallows before bedtime. Crazy!!! Who
gives their kid sugar and then says it's time to sleep. She has
been really excited about camping and
having flashlights, tents, and
marshmallows. She
has read a few
camping books from the library and has
seen a camping episode of Kipper the Dog. So she was
really into having a marshmallow. I gave her the bedtime sugar and you should
have seen her. She was dancing and singing and imitating a buffalo ( have to see it to really do it justice---It involves finger horns and ramming into things.) She sang all the songs she knows and was so silly. We were in stitches and trying to get her to calm down too. do you remember the
SNL skit with Mike Myers
and Nicole
Kidman where MM was the "Hyper-Hypo" Kid ? Hyper-active and hypo-
glycmic. He
totally spazzed out and uprooted a whole thing of playground equipment.
Lylah was the hyper-hypo tonight. we laughed and
laughed. She was quite the performer for us in her sugar-induced frenzy. I have learned my lesson. She did crash pretty hard pretty quickly after hitting the bed. Last I looked she was
totally nude as were all the previously dressed dolls or stuffed animals in her bed. I suppose she was having a hot flash again.
No pictures of the event, but we took
Lylah on a
carousel for the first time. She smiled the whole ride. It was so sweet. She woke up from a nap the next day and said she was riding a fast horse and Mommy was holding on to the horse and it went really fast, fast, fast.
Although she has been telling us she has good dreams when she wakes up, this it the first real dream she has been able to retell upon wake up. Obviously a fun time she needed to relive. I wish you could have seen her shining face going around the ride. It was so sweet. I will hold the memory of giving her the experience forever. She called to Daddy every time we
passed him and said, "oh Daddy, Daddy, Look at this" "
I'm riding!!!!" She told me this was her "best ever EVER ever ever ever
eeever" Precious.
My silly girl.
