The Pretender

So Lilly has always loved to play pretend

and she is very good at creating her own

very detailed worlds

and she is usually (always)

very adamant that we all participate

She likes to be the leader

and (sometimes not so nicely)

tell us all what we should be doing

in her pretend world

She can be very bossy

sometimes manipulative (in a 4 year old way)

Oh Nolee you don't want to just give me that

toy you are playing with...well look at this pretty block.

It's sooo much more fun to play with than the toy you have right now.

Do you want to trade?

and STUBBORN

and again we have no idea where she gets these traits

(and yes I can see my husband roll his eyes at this)

but we love our little bossy Lilly & all that she is

and love all the laughs she gives us

and boy did she give us a good one yesterday

So we went to church yesterday

We have not been to church in a looong time

but are trying to get better at that

and I know this is a sad excuse

but we have our reasons (and questions)

and wow that could be an entirely different, very long post

Anyway after church

we went over to my parent's

and I overheard Lilly, Nolee & Logan playing downstairs

and in true & typical Lilly fashion

I hear her say "Okay now this is what we are going to play"

I started to walk away thinking nothing of it

until I heard what came next...
Lilly:  "I am God and you two have to do what I say"

Obviously we have to do a better job of explaining things...:)
