I am surrounded by characters here in this house. Certainly Lily got both the love of costumes from Sam and need for dance/movement/performance from me. It is quite a combination. It is quite a mess sometimes. Here are just a few of her many looks over the past week or two:
 |
| Left alone with markers and a gel pen in the playroom |
 |
| Showing me how the magic happens |
 |
| After getting into my makeup bag which is supposed to be out of reach |
 |
| Give us a pout, girl. Oy vey. Help me. |
This next one, however, is the one that makes me laugh out loud. I can’t even post the real pictures of this her latest and greatest mess to date.
I know it doesn’t look like much…until you understand that:
1. She had watched a gymnastic competition with Sam in the morning of this day.
2. She was left alone outside while I worked on dishes.
3. Her easel with paint was set up.
4. Nearly each day she ends up playing naked in one form or another.
So what you get a glimpse of in this photograph is a nude Lily who painted in her gymnastics leotard, complete with long sleeves and also tights. She did a little routine for us as we snapped pictures. I’m really glad photos don’t need to be developed any longer at a photo shop or we may well be arrested.
