So Lilly loves mirrors. She enjoys checking herself out in her bathroom mirror, on the sun mirror on the jungle gym, friends mirrors. Anything reflective and she's a happy camper. I caught her this morning smiling up at herself, while she was laying on the jungle gym mat. She just spent 20 minutes, cooing, smiling, just loving herself in the mirror. I couldn't argue with her. She was content, so happy. I wonder if she knows that she's staring at herself or does she think its someone else?
On another note, don't try to mess with her before nap or feeding time, she won't have it. She was sleepy, but I thought I could take advantage of it, put her in the stroller and I could get lunch and do some quick grocery shopping at Whole Foods. I ordered two slices of pizza (veggie and bacon, garlic, and basil - delicious!) from Slice, and was told 15 minutes until I could pick it up. We played for a little bit longer before getting her into the stroller. It's only 3 blocks to the restaurant and Whole Foods, and she was ok on the way there. I picked up my pizza and I stow it under the stroller, and get ready for Whole Foods when she starts crying. She wasn't soothed by the peace pipe. And while Whole Foods is across the street, I opt to forgo it, hoping that the walk home will put her to sleep. Nope, it only serves to make her angrier and cry harder.
One block into our walk (Joseph and Camp), I am leaning over to keep the pacifier in, and cries out. But it's awkward to walk, push the stroller and manuever the streets of NOLA. So she's not stopping, so I take her out of the stroller, hold her push the empty cart two blocks home. She immediately quiets down. Suddenly she's a happy camper. And once we get home, she goes into her napper and takes a 2 hour nap. Go figure.
