"Where should I tickle you?"
"Right here under my arm!"
"Oh, yeah? What if I tickle you right here?", I said as I tickled her on her bum-cheek.
Lilie squealed and giggled.
"You can't tickle me there, Daddy! That's my telly."
I decided to wait a bit and see where this conversation went. Lilie recovered from her giggle fit, and muttered under her breath as she climbed onto my legs, "...it tells me when I need to go potty."

We were still horsing around later when Lilie decided she needed to slap me with something. She turned to the foam house we have set up in the living room:
Lilie grabbed a round piece off the front and swung it at me. I grabbed it from her, raised the hood of my sweatshirt, and stuffed it in the front. That's how we arrived at this picture:
..
Don't believe that smile: Lilie's first assessment was, "That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen."

We didn't want to forget about this one:
About a month or so ago, Katie had a day off work due to a holiday so she took Liliana to Illinois for a day trip. They had a little bit of time before an appointment so Katie decided to drive by Liliana's old daycare and maybe stop in for a quick visit with Ms. Kim and the kiddos. As they turned onto her street, Katie realized that it was a holiday for them too and the daycare would be closed. She was explaining to a disappointed Lilie that they wouldn't be able to see them after all when she spotted Ms. Kim on her front porch - Yeah! Katie pulled over and they got to spend a few minutes chatting with the P family we all love so much.
After promising to try to come back soon for a longer visit, they got back into the car and pulled away. A short ways down the street Liliana said to her Mommy, "I know why we call her Ms. Kim. It's because we all miss her." Yes, we do!
