Lily Doin's: Fall Update!

A "Doins" list has been long overdue. I have learned that recording her cute sayings only becomes more challenging as she becomes increasingly a) older, b) smarter and c) way more chatty. BUT, I still attempted a list so here goes!


Her Favs: For a while, certain things are featured as Lily’s FAVORITE (she says “favorite” with extra emphasis). The list has included

1. daddy’s fork
2. broccoli
3. Woody
4. Meat
5. carrots and yes,
6. Pee Pee

So Close: Words that are almost right...

1. Did-dent = Didn’t
2. Undywear = Underware
3. Spaceball = Baseball
4. Sthirsty = thirsty
5. Long long day! = in a long long time!
6. Sick up = throw up (I like her version better!)
7. Onner = only
8. Get busy = get dizzy
9. That’s what me talkin’ about! = That’s what I’m talking about!
10. Emernens = girlfriend at school Emerson

Other Cute Sayings:

1. “Me hug him” when talking about God and how she loves him. This was followed by a “where is God” discussion as she wanted to go see him and hug him. Warms my heart!
2. “I love this place!”: she kept saying this when we went for a walk around the neighborhood. We should get her out more often. :-/
3. “Mommy- then you have no Lily Kid!”: said when she almost fell into the potty. I do love my Lily Kid.
4. “Daddy, you getting up breaks my heart.”: Dale was sitting on the couch with Lily watching a Disney show. He gets up for something and that was her response. She later added, “Daddy, my heart is going away. My heart is breaking.” Even though her tone wasn’t sad but rather matter of fact- you can bet Dale returned to the couch quickly!
5. “Why? Because you’re silly?”: Often Lily answers her own Why question to me. When I pause, I often get her assumed answer of “Oh, because you’re silly.” Yes, actually that does explain a lot!
6. L-I-L-Y song: I made up a name-spelling song on the fly one night. The next day, Lily sung it for Daddy. He came to me later saying, “Lily knows the cutest song from school! Sing it for Mommy!”. She sings my L-I-L-Y song!! It’s very simply. Here are the lyrics:
   - First you have an “L”
   - Then an “I”
   - Next another “L”
   - Last a “Y”
   - L-I-L-Y: THAT. SPELLS. LILY

So please know, if you call, I may not answer right away. I'm freeing up my phone for a call from Def Jam Records. And yes, Lily: that is Mommy being VERY silly! ;-)
