Lily's World

I love Lily's imagination, even if it does worry me a little. We were going on a bear hunt this morning, and this is how it ended up.

Lily: Oh no! We found one! And it's not a friendly one!
Me: Oh no! Quick, run away!
Lily: Quick quick quick quick quick! Run all the way home, up the stairs, under the covers into bed.... Oh no! We forgot to shut the door! Quick! Slam.... Whew.
Me: Whew.
Lily: I don't want to go on a bear hunt again.
Me: Me neither....

Lily: Oh no! It got in the door!
Me: Oh no! Oh, it's alright, I'll get it with the vaccuum cleaner. Bang.
Lily: Bang bang bang bang bang!
Me: Phew, it's all ok now. We got it.
Lily: Now it looks like a sultana.

Lily: Daddy, I really love dancing. I'm a singer, but I'm definitely definitely a dancer.

While we were praying together last night....

Lily: God... can you make me whistle?

Lily's World - The Election

Me: Who do you think I should vote for in the election, Lily? Tony Abbot or Julia Gillard?
Lily: Julia Gillard.
Me: Yeah? Why do you think she'd be a good prime minister?
Lily: Because I like her, so I think she would be veeeery good and helpful.

Me: Come on Lily, it's time to pack up all the toys.
Lily: I'm feeling sick now, Daddy. I need to sit down.
Me: Oh, you're feeling sick now that it's time to pack up?
Lily: Yes, I'm going to womit.
Me: Well womit in the bucket if you do.
Lily: No, I'm not going to womit. I just still feel sick from when I was sick last night.
Me: Oh ok. Well you'd better go to your room and lie down if you're feeling sick.
Lily: No, I don't need to go to my room. I just need some honey toast.

Only three and already trying to con me. At least I can spot it when she's this age. I'm in serious trouble when she gets older though. She'll be running circles around me in a couple of years!

Me: What did you do at Grandma's, Lily?
Lily: I had 13 sleep and Isla had 18 sleep.
Me: Oh, when did you wake up?
Lily: I woke up at a-thirty, and Isla woke up at 16!
Me: Wow, that's a great sleep. What else did you do?
Lily: We had asagne and we didn't have ice cream, but Grandma said, "You girls can have a little bit of ice cream," AND WE DID! And we had co-co pops and played on the coloured thing, and then we comed home.
Me: And what did Isla do?
Lily: All the same, but not on the hammer thing.

How much do I love conversations with Lily!
(the "hammer thing" is a hammock)

Lily's World

Lily: "We're going to have a girls' night, and we're going to go on a plane after we go to the beach, and after we've had fun on there then we're going to go to Bella and Ry-Ry's house but Ry-Ry can't come because it's only for girls but Lucy can, and we're going to have all fun. And there will be make-up things in there and stickers and toilets and a bag."

Me: How was your day, Lily?
Lily: Good. We saw the Easter Bunny at the library.
Me: Wow!
Lily: But it was somebody dressed up. Maybe it was Santa or something.

Lily's World

Lily was doing some drawing....

Lily: Look Daddy! It's a sun!
Me: Wow! It looks like a bird.
Lily: No, it's a sun.... It's a different kind of sun.
Me: Is it a bird-shaped-sun?
Lily: Yeah, it's a bird-sun.

I was getting Lily and Isla's breakfast ready....

Lily: Daddy, I'm just holding the milk for you.
Me: OK honey.
Lily: Did you say "ok" or "no-k"?

Lily's World

I just thought this was cute...

Me: Lily, can you see any trees that have no leaves on them?
Lily: No, I can see trees have got YES leaves on them.

Lily: I love you, Mummy.

Tam: I love you, sweetie.

Lily: I love you, Daddy.

Me: I love you too, honey.

Lily: Yay! We all love us!

Lily's World

I was having a beer with my mate Luke, and Lily was sitting between us.

Luke asked: Where's your beer, Lily?

Lily: Oh, I don't normally have beer....

Lily's World

Lily (after Isla sneezed on her): On no! Isla did bless on me!

Isla's World

Isla has a more simple world than Lily's. The other day Tam was feeding her, and she looked up at Tam and said, "Boooooooooooob."

Lily (while playing with her doll's house the other day, and the TV was NOT on): We're watching ABC Kids!
