Lydia

Lydia is so funny. Such a Ham, I don't know where she gets it ;) She hasn't been taking naps lately, just playing for hours in her room for hours. well I thought if I took her out side before her nap she would expend some energy and maybe if I kept her up later she would be tired enough to take a nap. So we walked across the complex to pay rent, and on the way back she wanted to pick some flowers (dandelions). She picked a few then we checked the mail, then she wanted to visit Aleena (her 2nd cousin who lives right below us). She said she wanted to give her a flower. So we knocked on her door, but they were all sick and getting ready to go to the Doctor. So she gave her a flower, but as we were saying bye Lydia wanted her flower back, but Aleena liked it and didn't want to give it back, so I told Lydia we could go pick some more. we got a few more then we decided to go inside and put them in some water. I put a TINY bit of water in the cup and told Lydia to put the flowers in.

If you can't see very well she put the flowers in the cup flower side down.

Lydia LOVES flowers. After we put them in the cup she looked in and put her hands together prayer style and put them up to her cheek and said "oh so pretty!" (she usually says "Oh so cute" with her hand up like that)
Then she really cracked me up. She picked up the flower by the stem and licked the flower, cause it had water on it. Then dipped it back in, only this time when she pulled it out she didn't just lick it, she stuck it IN HER MOUTH and sucked the water off of it. After 2 or 3 sucks she then hugged her self and said
"I LOVE wader"..."I LOVE wader"
Then back to sucking the water off the flower, till eventually she had sucked all the water out of the bottom of the cup. Then she just started sucking on the flower. ha ha ha ha ok, I know I can be weird, but I NEVER sucked on dandelions.
Later she was in the living room playing with the porta crib. It was all folded up and in the bag, and when she accidentally knocked it over she proceeded to wrestle the alligator. That's right, the crib transformed in to an alligator which she wrestled and rode for about the next 15 mins.
She was just playing with her self it was very cute. Running around playing with "Aleena" and sneaking up and scaring...someone, and running from the spider. Oh and then she found a little red ribbon, which became a scary snake.
She never did take a nap. I think saddle she is starting to do away with them. She takes them every once in a while, but the nice thing is she goes to bed an hour eariler when she doesn't take a nap.
