"MY LEGS ARE ALL WOBBLY", LILLY #1

Alayna and Lilly

It's October, the month of all things creepy and scary and a bit exciting.  I told 2nd grader, Jayden, we needed a ladder so he actually got it and DRAGGED it down the hall and through the living room outside to the maple tree where we hung his adult-sized skeleton and Miss Lilly's jumbo rubbery spider.  She's a kindergartener this year.

She went to move the ladder to a new location and I could hear her talking.  She was talking to herself as she scooted sideways with her load to get away from her spider hanging in her face., "I ain't afraid.  I ain't afraid.  I ain't afraid.  I ain't afraid." 

ROFL!

Lilly's a sweet child.  When we got back from our Tybee vacation, I found a little post-it not scrawled in childish handwriting "I will miss you, Lilly". 

Awe, melt my heart it did!

Gotta tell 'bout Miss Lilly the Sunday near St. Valentine's Day.  She removed little fishes from the Let's Go Fishin' game and put 2 of them in a Valentine plastic heart.  It was a palm-sized see-through heart container.  Then she went to each person, "Do you feel flipping fishies in your heart?"   ROFL

While John was helping her put on her shoes, he turned to me laughing "Wanna know how Miss Lilly breaks her grandpa's heart?  Show 'em, Lilly."  And she pops open the heart, holds up a half in each hand, and gives a little girl giggle!  She was so delighted!

In January, Miss Lilly was in fine form on a Sunday.  I still had my Christmas cards hanging around the doorways in the family room.  She took quite an interest in them.  The lowest one on the left was a cutout gift box.  The third one above that was glittering sparkles of baby Jesus bedded in straw.  She said, "Can I see the little baby one?"  Of course, I let her handle it.  Later, she came to me with the bottom one, the one shaped like a gift box, "I have a present for you." she said, " Wanna see what it is?"  LOL, well help yourself to my cards, little lady!!!

"My legs are wobbly."

Miss Lilly was standing at the corner of the kitchen table, but while she said this, she backed into the seat of a chair.

Makin sure of what I'd heard her say, I asked, "Your legs are all wobbly?"

Miss Lilly replied, "I think because there was a mosquito in my room."

"Didn't mom kill it?"

"No.  And probably he sucked all my blood and that's why I'm wobbly."

ROFL!
