Jilly girl

Jilly has been perfectly pleasant for the past few days.  She's been happy, obedient, funny, helpful, and overall delightful.  (I know now that I've said this we'll have a day full of tantrums tomorrow, but come what may.)  Here are some of our favorite Jilly-isms from the past few days-

I got Jilly a snack one day and asked her where she wanted to eat it.  She replied "in my mouth."

Bryan has a bag that holds his tools and Jilly saw it in the garage and told me "That's Daddy's purse."

One morning I woke up to a voice calling from the other room, "Mommy, Mommy! I want to paint my nails!" (even though she can easily get out of her bed she almost always still calls for me when she wakes up.) When I got in Jilly's room she said, "sparkey (sparkly) pink nails!"

Every morning Jilly asks to wear a dress.  Once it's on she does a little spin in front of the mirror and if the skirt doesn't flare out to her expectations she tells me "it's not working" and asks for another.

Jillian's favorite breakfast is a "faffel in a cup"- a waffle cut up and put in a cup.  I'm not sure how she came up with this but I'm usually happy to oblige.

Every night when we read books I hope for some variation but without fail we must first read "Pincess Yaya" (Aurora) and "Pincess Rella" (Cinderella.)

Whenever Jilly can't find something she says "I miss it."

Anytime Jilly or someone else gets an owie, she quickly says "I'll kiss it. Mwah. That's better."
