I know, I'm too sensitive. But Lilly got mocked by another kid in JCC babysitting this morning. He's probably around 2 years old. And he's a babysitting regular. Well today, I finished my 40 minutes on the Arc Trainer, come downstairs to get her, and find her, Cory, and two other kids, mocker included on the floor. Lilly's back is toward the door, and she's sitting in a faux-red Boppy pillow. She's just talking, screeching, just having a good old time. I come in, get my stuff, and Cory says, 'look who's here!' Lilly gets excited, a smile on her face, and then the little boy starts to screech, very similar to Lilly. So I say, 'Wow, _______, you sound a lot like Lilly' And Cory goes, 'He's mocking her' And I got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I felt sad. I don't want anyone to make fun of Lilly, I know its going to happen, but I want to protect her from all of it. Especially now as she can't really understand its going on, or I think she can't. Cory wasn't concerned. It's probably natural for kids to do it, especially as young as he is. But it still didn't or doesn't feel good.
On another note, we're back from Dallas. Lilly slept on the plane ride home, after entertaining the lady behind us for about 5 minutes. We managed to get out bags, stroller and other baby stuff from the plane to the car! What a feat. And Lilly seemed happy to be home. I think she was happy to be back in her crib and her surroundings. She was a bit tentative the first morning of JCC babysitting, but she's gotten over her shyness. Same thing with Regina. But by the end of the day, she was laughing, dancing, and having a good time with her.
