Just a couple humorous things to note:

Lily loves this book called “I Spy”. Lisa gave it to her for Christmas. There is a page in the book with a picture of a frog on it (and not a cartoon frog, either - just a picture of a plastic frog toy). She thinks it’s HILARIOUS, for whatever reason, and points at it, flaps her arms and giggles. We have no idea why she thinks it’s funny, unless the frog’s jolly demeanor reminds her of her father.

Today, one of the most annoying gifts she got for Christmas (thank you Laura Posey’s mom) got stuck between the back seat and the door. So, the entire way downtown, I got to listen to “A! A! A! A!” and Frere Jacque playing. AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! Lily loves the toy, however, so I can’t really be upset about it. Risa will also burn in hell for providing Lily with the Talking Elmo cell phone, which sings, “ELMO’S WORLD, ELMO’S WORLD, LALA LA LAH!” over and over again when you open it. When she hangs up, it says “Thanks for calling” and emits the most obnoxious giggling sound I’ve ever heard. It makes the hair on my arms stand up. If it wasn’t so bizarre it would border on creepy. WHO THINKS UP THIS CRAP? She loves it, she loves it, and it’s saved me many a time in the car. Suck it up! Could be worse, she could love Barney.
