If You Were a Fly on the Wall...


Thanks to William's great progress and Lily's usual talkativeness, our home is no longer quiet. If you were a fly on the wall in our house, you'd hear the following:

William: "Me do!" (whenever I encourage him to do something himself) followed by, "Hurray! We dih it!"

Lily: "Where was me?" when looking at pictures of things before she was born. It's been fascinating watching her try to wrap her mind around her own finiteness.

William: "Fire! Fire! Hot!!" when playing with his trains. It's fun to hear some of the pretending that's been going on in his head.

Lily: "Oh, bother!" anytime she doesn't get what she wants.

William: "Here ya go stay" (not sure what the "stay" means) as the kids share snacks in the van.
Lily: "Thank you"
William: "Wecome"
After a while, they'll switch who's holding the bag, and then William gets to say, "Danks!"

And, this is my favorite:
Sometimes William says to Lily: "Hewoah, Dizzy!"
To which Lily responds, "I'm not dizzy! I'm not dizzy!"
William apparently gets a kick out of her reaction, because then he'll repeat it, "Hewoah, Dizzy!" and watch her react again and again. Such a typical brother!

  1. Jack LOVES to get a reaction out of Ella - must be a boy thing! My brother did the same to me!
