Lilly and Lloyd

Saturday, December 1, 2007Christmas Is Coming!
Well, the kids know something is coming but they aren't sure what to make of it yet. I have explained what will happen but the only thing they seem to hear is presents. I am not sure they are quite old enough to really get it though.

Lloyd has ventured into the imaginary friend stage. Except his are cows, pigs, turtles and dinosaurs....and he is scared to death of them. Not all the time, just at night. Otherwise he loves them. Lilly seems to be pretty fearless and is still as strong-willed as they come.

They are also starting to gang up on me. I catch them whispering to each other often. It usually involves talking about doing something they aren't supposed to do. They catch me looking and run off together holding hands. Lloyd also tries to get Lilly in trouble by encouraging her to do things she shouldn't. He says things like "Lilly, spill your milk!" He has almost given that up since I told him they would both get a time out if he encourages her to do it and she does.

They love each other very much, though. When they wake in the morning or from nap, they usually look and ask for the other first. It is so sweet to see them hold hands, kiss and hug all on their own. If one is crying, the other will give them a hug and tell them it is all right!
