"Outside"

"Outside" has become Lizzy's new favorite word . . . and her latest obsession. She LOVES to go outside, even if it's just to sit on my lap on the lawn.

First thing this morning, after I changed her diaper, Lizzy came to me carrying her shoes. "Shoes," she said sweetly. "Shoes!" I replied, and helped her put on her shoes. A few minutes later she came in holding MY shoes. "Shoes," she told me once again. "Shoes," I repeated, and to humor her, I put them on my feet, even though I wasn't dressed. With a big a smile on her face, and her hands shaking with excitement, she said, "BYE-BYE OUTSIDE!"
