Before Lucy was born, my dad’s best friend gave us this onesie.
(He drew it. Her name is hidden in the picture. Can you spot it?)
Anyway, now, two years and change later, I think he knew something we didn’t, you guys.
Merlin is Lucy’s best friend in the world. He’s just the calmest, sweetest, most gentle giant with her. We are just so delighted. And he is, too. Most of the time.
The question is…
…is Lucy the spaghetti monster, or does she think the spaghetti is a monster? Further study will be required, I think, to make a final determination.
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful little girl named Lucy.
Lucy was very smart and brave, and also very curious. She loved to explore, and to play with her best friend, Merlin the Magic Cat.
Lucy did not love to nap. Every day after lunch, Mama and Lucy would sit down in a quiet room and cuddle, and Mama would sing lullabies. But Lucy did not want to fall asleep.
She only wanted to play and play.
And play and play and play and play and play and play and play.
Lucy could play for hours and just not get tired.
And play and play and play and play and play and…
Everyone has to sleep, silly Lucy.
Y’all…
This beautiful, silly, clever kid. Oh, my heart. 😊
(Also, about ten minutes after this photo was taken, she broke Graham’s phone. LOL.)
“…then you didn’t say no, Mama.”
Guess I’d better get used to this, huh? (But honestly, it’s fine. Everything in that drawer is plastic. At least, it is now. 😉)
