Captain Hook

Lilly Lou, where to start....let's start with her imagination. It has been off the charts lately. She can be so creative and funny that it is incredible just to sit and watch. Lately her favorite character to play is Captain Hook from Peter Pan. It all started with a stick she found in the backyard that we think our gardener left behind. She picked it up, waved it around a little, and then procalaimed in a deep male-like voice, "I am Captain Hook." Then she went to the swingset and started stearing her ship. That's what she is doing in theis picture. One day she was Batman and asked what Steven's name was. He said daddy so she kept asking what it was because she wasn't Lilly his daughter who must call him daddy(not Steven Yates which is her preferred method), but she was Batman and had no idea who he was. She is a little inpatient, but patiently waiting to visit Disney again. She loves to sing and dance and has told us she wants to be onstage and do a show. She doesn't like to miss anything! She has an incredible amount of energy lately that doesn't seem to be going any where.

She has been too outgoing lately but has been very friendly and I think she is craving the friends she left in England. She does talk about them still and some times plays with imaginary versions. She is getting bigger and bigger each and day. She thinks she should be an adult by now. She recent;y told be that when she gets big like me she is going to get her own house and it is going to be empty. Then she is going to get in her red car and go to a furniture store and get her own furniture, beds, and pack n play. She is 4 and already has her future planned out. She even says we are going to move to Hawaii next and then Japan. We'll see. She needs to just slow down already! She is crazy, but we love her.
