Catching up: Lucy

One of the many things that my girls have been addicted to lately is movies. I think it's because they finally understand them and relate to them. So I bought Annie because as a child, I adored the singing! I remember sitting on the swing in my front yard belting out "The Sun Will Come out Tomorrow" at the top of my lungs, 100% secure in the knowledge that someone would walk by and think I was the girl that played Annie because I was that good.  But I digress...

Lucy loves Annie too. I never realized how much she understood until the other day when I insisted that she pick up what was on the floor before we left the house. She bent at the waist, jutted her little butt out in the air and taunted me with "I love you, Miss Hannigan".  :::deep breath, try not to laugh:::

My child is a smart ass. I don't know where she gets it from.

My child is also smart, and refuses to be outdone by her big sister. Case in point: The Pledge of Allegiance.

Oh, she is a force to be reckoned with, this one!

Someone at work told me that ever famous person she knows has "larger than average" heads. Well, Miss Lucy and her 96th percentile melon might just be Queen of the World one day if that true. I don't know a lot of two year old kids but I do know that this one has amazing comedic timing, a flare for fashion, a killer grin and the ability to make anyone I know burst out laughing. She is far from serious.

Given her way, she'd spend her life outside. Nobody loves dirt and grass more than Lucy. She always wants to walk and hike and "go fast, Daddy, go fast!"

 She's going to be great fun this summer.
