Lily-Go-Round and Round

Lily loves the merry-go-round at the mall. What kid doesn't? But she's been pretty skeptical of the horses...she's more of a chariot girl. However, this past weekend changed all that. She got up the courage and nerve, and rode the horse for the first time! and second, and third, and...well, you get the picture. The lady in the ticket booth loved our family for some odd reason (well, we do have super-cute kids...) and gave us a free ride for Luke. So Mommy, Daddy and Lukey went on the merry-go-round...Lily stayed behind with Grammy. However that set Lily into a frenzy because once you have two kids, you must do the same things for both. So then she needed to ride again, and breaking all the rules, the ticket lady actually passed her on to the merry-go-round, while moving, to Alfred's loving arms. Ah, peace again. On Monday, Alfred took Lily to another mall and they too had a merry-go-round. The ticket lady there fell in love with Lily too and Lily got a free ride and a pink punch-balloon! What I wouldn't give for my life to be that simple again...oh wait, I guess it is! :)
