What I love about Lily is her amazing ability to time travel. One minute, she's freaking out about swimming in the deep end of the pool with her swimmies on, the next minute, she's realized that she really can swim and then she goes all out- cannonball into the deep end, sans swimmies. All in the blink of an eye. She's so cautious, but then when she puts her mind to something, BLAM, there's no holding her back. It's like the previous minutes of angst never took place. Miraculous.
A few moments from Lily's life the last few weeks:
- She became a reluctant kayaker
- She let me pull out her dangling-by-a-thread front tooth, and proudly posed for her official "toothless"picture
- The fashion girl strategically wore her pink skirt and shoes in her school play - a flash of hot pink in an ocean of blue-jean wearing kindergarteners
I love her kindness, her mother hen-ness, her ability to be brave, even when she doesn't want to be. One of her favorite books is Ruby in her Own Time. It's just so Lily - first a watcher than a doer - all in her own time.
