Daddy would always say "Hey little Monkey, how 'bout some hay!"

Loved peaches! While she ate them we sing "Millions of peaches, peaches for me. Millions of peaches, peaches for Li-Ly!"

Lily has quite the imagination. Lickey (her imaginary friend) showed up at the beginning of 2011. He is "2 - like me" she says. Mimi (a nice little girl friend) came around mid-year 2011.

I'm not going to lie, it kinda freaked me out when she first started talking to them. We had recently moved into our house and it made me squimish when Lily would look past me and jabber to Lickey. But after I got past the creepy factor of it all, it is actually incredibly nice. Lily has built in friends and entertainment. It is still a challenge when she come running to me and says, "Lickey is hitting me and being mean!" Not quite sure what to do there but we invite Lickey and Mimi over anytime!
