This weekend we trekked across Nebraska to a western wedding and then back to the other side for a 100th Birthday party. Lily did very well on the eight hour journey in the car, only demanding to stop a few times.
On the trip, we had a couple of strangers say to us, "Boy, she is a talker" and "She is so verbal for two." Those unsolicited comments are quite fun.
It also took all our tricks to keep her quiet during the wedding which was held in a small church.
One of the secrets was lots of M&Ms, which we now call L&Ls so Lily doesn't know what we are talking about. However, then Lily was requesting the M&Ms by color. "Blue one, Yellow one, Green one. More M&Ms please." She also kept making comments during the ceremony like "Hi Dale," "I see him," and "More Music." She was the only one to clap when the songs would end (I always thoughts the Methodists were clappers).
Every step comes with new challenges, but these are quite fun.
