Twirling

One of my favorite “mommy” tools is our video monitor. It’s a wonderful way to spy on keep a motheryly eye on Lydia while she’s sleeping-or supposed to be.
Today while I’m taking a much needed "me moment", Lydia is in her crib, NOT sleeping. Minding her own business, doing whatever it takes not to sleep. She has no idea she is cracking me up. Oh my but she’s funny, that girl.
Right now she has discovered that the cute little summer skirt she has on will twirl if she spins. So she’s in the middle of her crib, spinning and playing with her skirt and falling down and giggling. She’ll tire herself out soon and off to sweet dream land she'll go. But for now she is busy being a giggly little girl.
She's so girly some times. I love that.
Every day she makes new "girly" discoveries. I adore watching her discover them.
*Baby dolls
*Shoes- oh how the girl does love her shoes. Or anyone's shoes for that matter.
*Jewelry- She loves all things glittery and shiny. Watch out, boys, someday she'll be an expensive date!
*Dancing- Although this isn't a totally girl thing, she does it very girl-like. It's all swirls and twirls and abandoning herself to the music in a sweet, giddy, giggly, totally free and happy way.
*Purses- Anything baglike with a handle. She slings it on her arm and off she goes. There's an addiction in the making.
*Dressing up- She gets very excited on Sundays and as soon as she gets dressed she runs to daddy, turns a full circle and completely expects him to go on and on about how pretty she is.


See? I'm not raising a tom boy at my house, that's for sure. Oh what fun she is!!!!
