Favorite Memories from our IN trip

We enjoyed nearly every moment of our trip (except for Lily throwing silverware, plates, and hitting a 2 day old baby). Is being mortified of your child's actions just part of parenting? I hope so. All kidding aside, I have two favorite memories from this trip.

#1 - Poopy diaper
Joshua and Lily were playing while the parents sat at the dining room table. Joshua came and whispered something in Steve's ear. Matt and Beth thought he was tattling on Lily, but Steve assured us that he wasn't. I guess Lily was walking around saying poo-poo, poo-poo and he didn't know why. Yup, she didn't smell so fresh. Steve went to change the diaper and Joshua asked if he could watch. I told Joshua that I didn't mind, but he might want to ask his mom. He started to do so and suddenly turned to me and said, "I don't think that is such a good idea." Not sure if he didn't want to ask Mom or he didn't want to watch the diaper change?

#2 - Inside Car
We stopped to see friends of ours in Indy and needed to kill sometime. They live in downtown Indy, so we walked around Circle Centre Mall. We couldn't find on-street parking as there was a special event, so we parked in the Mall parking garage. $1.50 for up to three hours - not bad since most places wanted at least $5. Lily started yammering away as we drove up and up. We ended up parking on the 6th floor, so it took a minute to get to our spot. We couldn't figure out what Lily was saying, but it was the SAME thing over and over. Finally, it dawned on me. "Inside Car" I asked her if the car was inside and she shook her head yes. Then she started saying "Outside Car." I asked her if she wanted the car to go outside. Again, she answered in the affimative. We don't have a garage, so I don't think she had ever been in a car indside for that length of time. Since then, Lily is very quick to tell us when the car is inside even if it isn't really. Like today. We were driving through an area where the trees touched and you couldn't see the sky. She clearly wanted the car to go outside again!
