Lily has a little cow pillow pet. She calls it her mimi. The most important part of her mimi is the little strap on the side that has the velcro on it. That strap is like GOLD. When she sleeps at night she has to put her head on her mimi and then she holds the strap. Every morning she walks into our bedroom in her jammies dragging her mimi. When we go downstairs for breakfast - mimi gets dragged down the stairs. I have to make sure when I wash her pillow pet that it is dry by the time it's bedtime. One of these nights I'm going to sneak in her room and get a picture of her with her sleeping and holding on to that velcro strap. It's so cute. The very bottom picture is my favorite. We have a little window seat in our upstairs hallway that looks down on to our driveway. On the days that Jon takes Gwen and Elle to school, Lily will run up to the window seat, open the shutters and sit and watch them hop in the car and drive off to school. She's missing that Gwen isn't home with her in the mornings anymore. I'm SOO happy that I still have my Lily-pie home with me...and her mimi.
