Okay, so everyone knows that Lily is JUST like me. And if you don't, well I am about to clue you in people. I was out of town from Saturday to late last night and the kids were all over me this morning. It was so sweet. Both in my lap at one time. I love it! Well, Lily was a chatty cathy....I couldn't think strait! Before getting in the car she is asking Coach Kimmie to pray for her ear...it hurts....and Kimmie promises she will pray for her ear. I love the innocence. Well then she gets in the car after school...I am driving down the road, and I think sister put a whole new cap on how many words a female can speak in a minute. I learned all about her scratches from PE and how at lunch she wanted four sides but the darn lunch ladies would only let her have 3...she was ticked! Then she told me all about her standardized test today and I know I did my best momma....Oh my gosh, the girl wouldn't stop. I got a giggle cuz it sooo reminded me of me at her age...and some of you may have had the privilege to see that side of me now..it still comes out a time or two....
Here is the absolute kicker...the thing that my joyful happy girl did to make me smile soooo big. I came upstairs to help Tripp on a project online and Lily volunteers to water the porch plants. Great! She does it and then comes up to let us know she has named each plant. "Mommy, I named the plants! One is Ally, she is the pink one. One is Sally, and she is the purple one and they are twins. Carly is the purple one on the left. The green one is George," she proudly announces. I thanked her for naming them so now I can address them as I water them. This is my 11 year old child! I love her simplicity and carefree happy spirit. I just love it and wanted to share it with all ya'll.
