Lovely Lily

Last night Lily and I had mango sorbet for dessert. I put some in a cup for her and some in a cup for myself. I finished mine first, and put my empty cup down the coffee table. Lily looked in my cup and said, "Aww, mama no more." Then she got a spoonful of mango sorbet from her cup and put it right up to my lips. (And of course I couldn't turn away an extra spoonful, even if it meant taking it away from a two-year-old.) My heart melted right along with the mango sorbet. Lily is such a nurturing soul. Everyone who spends time with her tells me that. At pre-school, random parents come up to me and say that their kid was crying in the morning and Lily came over and gave them a hug or wiped away their tears. I don't think anything could make me more proud.
