Cute Lily story...

We attend a storytime each week at one of our public libraries. You have to register for them because they are so popular and they have to keep the numbers down. So each week we see the same few little kiddos.

The week before last there was a little girl sitting next to us whose name was Clara. Lily didn't really pay too much attention to her but when we got in the car to leave she kept saying "i like clara."

Then this past week, we were doing one of our normal first songs. It's this bee song where the teacher goes around and the bee asks each little kid what their name is in the song. It goes "higgledee biggledee bumbleebee, won't you say your name for me, lily, lily, that's your name." Usually the parent has to say their name for them because they are too bashful. So this week Clara and her mom was sitting next to us again and when it was Clara's turn to say her name, Lily shouts out "clara!" for her. It was ADORABLE! And since then she keeps randomly saying that she likes clara.

During the week I try to keep singing the songs we sing at storytime with Lily so she'll get the hang of them (which she can sing a lot of songs now!). Whenever we do the bumblebee song she always inserts clara's name - never her own. Go figure!
