Who's Sally?

I just had to put some pictures up especially one of Lydi with her new best friend. Everyone meet Sally... Here's the story. We were over at the Teagues' house for one of your life group meetings recently, and all of the big kids were playing outside.

Lydi isn't quite big enough yet to hang with them without getting severely injured, so I was trying to keep her content playing in the house with all the grown-ups (not that much fun for her I'm sure) anyway, Bethany brings this baby doll for Lydi to play with. I have never seen her so excited, it seemed like Bethany gave her the most precious gift a girl could receive. From the get go Lydia was attached to this doll. So, the doll saved the night and she was perfectly content to stay indoors for the rest of the evening playing with this doll. When it was time for us to leave, I tried to explain to Lydi that the doll did not belong to her, and that it belonged to Bethany. She did not want to go home without this baby.

So, Bethany said that she didn't really play with her anymore, and that Lydi could borrow her for a little while if she wanted, and she told us that her name is Sally. This baby doll has gone everywhere with us! Where Lydi is; Sally is there also! It's so funny. She feeds her, changes her diaper, calms her when she is upset... today she fell while she was holding Sally, so she immediately stands up goes over to the baby and asks her if she is OK!

It's so funny to watch her take care of this doll. One of my friends made a good point that now that mommy has a baby to take care of, she wants one to take care of too! This turned into a much longer story than I meant for it to, but I thought it was worth sharing. The bottom line is we love Sally, and the day tht she has to leave the Parmer house, we'll probably have to go get another one:) The other pictures are just for fun!
