Some Comic Relief

Lilly woke up this morning to eat around 7 and after I fed her, Olivia woke up and wanted to go downstairs. I have to be very careful carrying Lilly and holding Olivia's hand while we walk down the stairs, so it is a bit complicated if Olivia wants to take a stuffed animal or two downstairs with her. Today she wanted to take Katie and Sadie, so I told her to throw them down the stairs and we would then go down. She did so gleefully, but then looked at me very concerned and worried. I asked her what was wrong, to which she replied with utter seriousness - "Mommy, please don't throw Lilly down the stairs."

It was everything I could do not to laugh hysterically at her expression and request. So I replied in all seriousness that we do not throw babies down the stairs (working on that "Mommy of the Year" award for 2010). That seemed to pacify her, so we proceeded to breakfast. You never know what will come out of their mouths!
