Rockstar!

If Lucy could have one toy that would make her so happy, it would be that Thomas the Train set and table. You know the one, it is set up in any toy store and at our Barnes and Noble. The girl will stand at that table and play with those trains forever. I have to drag her away from it. Why in the world does it have to cost so much? I know it is really nice, but I am scared she will not care about it in a few months and don't want to invest hundreds of dollars toward it. Maybe we will just get her a few of the trains. The problem is, if you don't have the tracks glued down on a table, I know it will make her crazy when the tracks come apart. I think it is a really cool toy myself, but is it worth hundreds of dollars? Probably not.

I love to document when Lucy does something really sweet. My mom got her this doll bed from Ikea. It was just raw wood. I painted it pink and painted polka dots on it and put her name on it. It is adorable. Today, she took her baby over to the bed, fed her a bottle, and sang her Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. You should hear her sing this song. It would melt your heart. She doesn't get every word right, but she sings a sound for every word. It is so so so precious. Then she told her baby night night and patted her back. It was too much. I would have loved to have it on video, but I would have ruined the moment and I didn't want to do that.

Also, today she played with her little friend Ava. She is sometimes just a bully with her and is going through a VERY possessive stage at the moment. She gets a little rough from time to time. Today she shoved Ava and I told her to tell her she was sorry and for the first time ever, she actually apologized. Usually when I ask her to say sorry, she just ignores me and refuses to say it. I was glad that she finally said it. Also about the possessive stuff, Anna is also very possessive at the moment. So yesterday when I told Lucy we were on our way to play with Anna and Louis, she gathered up everything she could reach in her carseat and told me, "My juice. My raisins. My shoes." etc. Ugh. We know it is yours honey.

And finally she is starting to always associate people together. She has never talked about Anna's brother Louis until recently. Now whenever I mention Anna she says, "And Woo Wee too!" And today when I mentioned Ava, she said, "And Taty." Katy is Ava's mom and you know she can't say the ck sound. I just think it is cute how she is talking about other people now too.

Lucy got a birthday present in the mail today from her Aunt Seashy (my baby sister Katy). I knew it was some sort of really cute clothes, and I just caved and let her open it today. I couldn't handle the suspense any longer. I am SO glad I didn't wait. Look at what she sent. This is AWESOME! It says Rockstar on it. I love it. The other pictures are from tonight with the chalk on the sidewalk. It was still so hot, but it was nice to get out.










We were both covered in chalk. I wonder why.....



She started something new tonight. She would sit here and wait for a car to drive by. Then she would wave a huge wave to them. They almost all waved back. The only ones who didn't were unable to see her. She was so proud when she got a big wave back. So, here she is sitting and waiting.

Here she was saying "Car car. Are you? Come on cars."

"Hey Mom. Here comes one!"

So pleased that someone waved back. It really was so cute.
