The second Lily story that I have to document is one from the other night. After we put her to bed, she has suddenly gotten into the habit of coming downstairs to ask us questions, ask for help with something, tell us she loves us. Just about every excuse in the book she has come up with already. So, one night, Matt told her that she needed to stay in bed unless she needed something REALLY IMPORTANT. A few minutes later, she came bounding down the steps. She said, "Daddy, I am not sure what is important and what isn't. I have something that I think is important, but I am not sure. But I really want to show you this because I think it is important." Matt graciously asked her what it was. She ran upstairs, got her American Girl catalog, and came back downstairs. She said, "I want to add this to my birthday list. It is a baby ther-monitor so that I can hear my babies when they wake up in the middle of the night." (it was a baby monitor not thermometer) Matt said it was definitely important and that we would add it to her birthday list...............And what could we say, it was important to her!!!!
The next night, she came down in a tizzy. She was breathing hard and about ready to cry. She said, "Daddy, I lost a piece to my stethoscope (she has a real one) and if I don't have it I can't do the check-ups on my babies. They are sick! I need help finding the piece to the stethoscope! IT IS IMPORTANT!!!!"
Oh, my girl is full of drama......
