A Day in the life of Lily

• Wait patiently in the morning for someone to come get her out of her crib. As soon as someone appears, immediately hand over the empty bottle from the night before. If the bottle was thrown out of the crip the night before, raise a ruckus until the bottle is recovered.
• Diaper change. Every night the diaper leaks, so a good wash down is required. If Dad is in bed still, start talking to him until he responds. Then begin meowing like a cat. The demands for a new baba start now.
  
• If breakfast is being served, start eating. If breakfast is not being served, start foraging for your own food.
• Normally, breakfast is followed by sitting on the couch, drinking a bottle, and watching some combination of PBS kids shows. Today Dad is home, so PBS educational broadcasting is replaced by Mario Kart Wii...
• Played toys in the back room. Put a bucket on her head. Played with toys.
  
• Started fighting with Ruth about who should sit on the chair by the computer. They ended up both sitting there, Lily started pounding on Ruth.
• Sat in the crib for a few minutes for pounding on Ruth
• Played with more toys, polished off the bottle.
• At lunch at the high chair
• After lunch, nap time.
• After nap time, more animal noises while diaper is being changed. This time it was dogs, cats, and monkeys. She must dream about animals.
• More play time. This play time is generally "free range" play time, with the entire house as her canvas
• Dinner
• Playing with balloons and putting little magnet things on the fridge. The other girls are in bed, so she finally gets a chance at the balloons.

It rained today, otherwise she would have gotten to go out to play. Playing outside consists of the following different types of activities:

• swinging on the swing. She will sit there for a long time if there is someone to push her.
• sliding down the slide. She can't quite do the final step to the playset by herself, but she loves to slide down the big slide.
• playing with little cars & bikes.
• Sitting in the dirt and digging. This might be her favorite outside activity.
