We took Lilly to a Kids Home Depot Workshop to make a string heart for Valentine's Day. It involved a block of wood with nails outlining the shape of a heart. And red string to go from nail to nail to give it the color.
We arrived on time. Others had arrived early. There was MUCH hammering going on. Miss Lilly didn't care for the noise and went behind a metal column to hide. We told her we needed to follow the instructions, but she complained.
"No, no, no!"
"Lilly doesn't have to work."
"Lilly doesn't have to do in. struck. shuns."
She finally was intrigued enough to paint the frame and did a good job.

To Lowe's we went next so I could participate in a Tile Backsplash Workshop for women. Walking in, Lilly stalled, and slightly tripped in her little brown boots, so I found a flatbed dolly, a low blue cart with tall handles, and parked my purse, our coats, and Miss Lilly on it. She was content to sit crossed legged. Guess she was tired of walking and tripping.
Heading to the pro desk and their hot coffee dispensers, I had to squeeze and maneuver the cart between an aisle display and a woman coming towards us with a full shopping cart. The woman scooted to her right, I scooted to my right. I looked at the woman and smiled and assured her, "I think we're good."
Lilly overheard, "No. We need coffee!"

At home, afterwards, I cautioned Miss Lilly, "Be a big girl" as I rebrushed her hair and readjusted her pony tail. She doesn't like to be bothered about her hair. John, standing nearby added, "Be Brave." Lilly dissented, "I'm not brave."
Later Miss Lilly pipes up after hearing John talk on the phone about possibly going to see the new movie with Robert Downey Jr. called Dr. Dolittle.
Quick as a wink, enthusiastically, "I wanta see Knock-the Little."
Now, that's a movie title to inspire a plot!
Do we need red string and a little heart? LOL.
