i got an e-mail request from a loyal reader to post a new pic of lucy (eli's been getting all the publicity lately!). so here's the latest. we were out Christmas shopping last week, and we hit a toy store. oh my goodness, she jumped at the chance to push this stroller around. and she took off throughout the store like there was no tomorrow. then she'd come to the stuffed animals, throw out the "used" one mercilessly onto the floor, and tenderly put in a new one for the next lap. it broke our hearts not to get this for her right then and there. we'll see what the extended family comes up with for her for Christmas! ;)and cute story to add: lucy loves baths. i've mentioned it before. baths fall under dave's "tasks" in our home. i've never even given eli one bath. dave loves giving them baths, and he's good at it. anyway, last friday, dave said, "lucy, are you ready for your bath?", and she ran to the bathroom in record time. (i think that would be a yes.) i stood in the doorway watching them prepare everything (dave, getting the appropriate water temp, lucy throwing the toys in one by one), and lucy came to the door, said, "bye mommy!" and closed it on me! it was the funniest thing. mommy doesn't give me baths so her presence isn't warranted!
