Lily had a very specific notion in her head for Halloween. She wanted to be Belle. And she wanted to score some candy. She was successful in these two goals. She looked absolutely adorable and was very good considering we had to wake her from a nap at 5pm to get ready to go trick-or-treating. By the time we did the grandparent parade through Hudson and landed in Woodbury it was around 7pm. She was unstoppable. We kept asking her if she was cold or if she wanted to be done and her responses were hilarious.
"No! Onto the next!" -or- "Just five more houses."
Lately we have had a bit of juggling to do with Mark's parents being laid up. His mom just had her knee replaced and his dad had to be hospitalized for an infection. Both are on the mend now but the past week has been incredibly haphazard for us all to say the least. Lily has been very concerned about her grandma. When some of the kids we know from the pool in the summer came by on Halloween, Lily very seriously and in almost a tizzy trying to get the words out fast enough, told the girls that her grandma wasn't feeling well. And she proceeded to make them all come in and look at poor Barbara laying there on the couch.
We are doing our best to try to make sure everything in her world is gently told to her. But she notices everything. She is such a conductor for emotions. But she seems to make everything better when she gives me a little pat and very sincerely says, "It's ok, mama."
