If You Were A Child

Since about the second week of school Lily has had a "best friend". K is a lovely little girl and the relationship Lily and she share is precious. Lily and K get along beautifully and there has been zero drama. Zero. It's wonderful!

I love to watch the two of them together. They think they're teenagers. Seriously. I won't be surprised when they both end up in neck braces from all the hair flicking/tossing that occurs whenever they're together.

Right now, Lily and K share a very special bond. That's what makes what Lily said to me yesterday all the more special.

Yesterday, out of nowhere, Lily said to me, "Mommy, if you were a child I would want you to be my best friend."

Oh. My. Stickin'. Heck!

Can I just tell you how much I love this sweet child?!? Of course I really can't tell you because it would be impossible! But, I have to confess, it really was one of those moments. A moment you want to freeze in time and replay over and over again. A moment I'm sure I will draw on a few years from now when Lily is rolling her eyes at me and wants me nowhere around!

Okay, so technically it's spring...doesn't mean I can't dress for the snow!

Aunt Paula,

As sweet as our Lily girl is now I just know there will come a day when she will give Tony and me a run for our money! When that day comes I know Mom will be in heaven watching and saying something to Dad about paybacks being hell!
