This is about the happiest picture I was able to get of our little Lil, and I think that was just because Lian, my little sister (for those of you who don't know my parents adopted a little girl from china a little over a year ago. She turned four in January and she and Lilly are great friends!)was encouraging her to be happy for the moment.
Here we officially have grumpy Lilly! I was trying to get her to take a picture with Ruby and myself and she was not having it. I had to chase her down and drag her over to our spot to get her to even stand by us.
Next is me trying to tickle and tease her to get her to smile which ended up in tears and a bad picture, as you can see!
Finally the end! After I gave up on a having a cute picture with my girls, Lilly walked away and found a quite spot to sulk. She stayed there by herself for a while and wouldn't look at anyone. My sister Angie suggested we throw her in the water to loosen her up a bit but I had mixed feelings about that tactic, wasn't sure if it would have the positive effect we were looking for. In the end I think Lilly did have a good time. She seemed happy to tell Rhett about it all when we got home (Rhett couldn't come because he is finishing up his last week of school! Hooray!). And Ruby and myself had a great time!
