In the Genes?

I know everyone thinks their child is smart. That is what makes all of us such proud parents. BUT...there is none like Lilley "ever in the world." Below is a picture she drew today of a cat. She is always pretending to be a cat. So much so, that Tripp's first word is going to be meow. I was never a child development student, but I was impressed that she drew 2 eyes, 2 ears, and whiskers. Of course, I may be stretching it to see a cat (more like a frog) but Mama Bear couldn't help but post.

Additionally, we have a bit of a tattletale on our hands. Today, L & T returned from a 6 day trip to McClees Camp. Before Mamaw had made it to the beltline, Lilley had reported that, although the rule is 1 Mickey per day, she saw "lots of Mickey" AND "lots of Barney!" "I like Baby Bop; she is so cute!" My child has seen exactly what I vowed never to allow....the big purple dinosaur!!!! And then..."Mom, I can take 1 pacifier downstairs? Cause Mamaw lets me take one." We had an early lesson on the different rules at different places in our lives...and lets be honest, if that is the worst that happens when loving grandparents take my children (plural) for 6 days, then we are doing pretty well! Oh, I almost forgot.... "Lilley, what was your favorite thing about Richmond?" "Hmmm....ME!"
