you big momma's boy

Now that I am back in the blogging swing of things, they just keep coming, huh?

Today Lillian said to Paco: "hey, you big momma's boy!" after we picked ourselves up off the floor we realized that Lillian had learned this from Paco himself who has been heard to say this about his youngest brother Carlos. She said she also heard it in the movie Bambi II which we recently viewed. What kills me is that her mind files these away for days, even weeks and then she zings them out at contextually correct, but unexpected moments.

She had school this morning and this afternoon she announced to me that her friend Julia does like boys. Lillian has said to us several times over the past month or so and that she does not like boys so I was pretty sure that this conversation topic was all Lillian's. This dislike seems to stem from a little boy named Isaac in her class who has some issues with keeping his hands to himself. Anyway, I asked Lillian if she asked Julia about this and she affirmed. After a moment, she said, "Yes, but she is still my friend" So even though Julia has disappointed her, she has decided to make the friendship work. BTW, I have pointed out to Lillian that there are some boys she likes a lot---daddy, grampy, and her cousins to name a few. She agrees, bit still says she does not like boys in general. FINE BY ME.
