A Toothless Tale

How to Train Your Dragon has been a pretty big thing here! We finally just got it for the kids to watch on the way to Tennessee and my kids have loved it. Lily especially. Yes, little miss Lily that was Tiana for Halloween and loves going to Claire's to look at princess stuff and lip gloss galore, has an obsession with this movie and the dragon Toothless. And I'm sure Tessa has been a pretty big influence in this as well!

On Sunday, Lily actually played with the other girls in nursery. This is a first because she doesn't really like girls that are her age. The girls in nursery were playing baby dolls and here comes Lily to play when all of a sudden, she drops to all fours and makes growling noises. She chased those poor girls around growling and then saying "I'm TOOTHLESS!!!" So, we had to stop her when the other girls were complaining.

Last week, the kids had preschool at Henry's house. Henry is William's best friend. Henry was a dinosaur for Halloween and so was his little 2 year old brother. So, what did I find when I went to pick up the kids from preschool?? Lily dressed in Henry's brother's dinosaur costume. But, she wasn't a dinosaur, she was Toothless. Since it was made for a 2 year old, the costume is almost to her knees and halfway up her forearms.

This week, William had a play date at Henry's house and when we went to drop him off, Lily looked at Henry's mom and said that she wanted to dress up. We are now - temporarily- in possession of one blue dinosaur/ Toothless costume that I can't pry off of my daughter's body. Don't believe me?

And then the instant that I can talk her into taking this off, she finds a flower bow, puts it on top of her head and asks me if she's pretty.

I don't know what to do with that girl...
