Bruno and Cinderella

Lately Luke has been on a "Bruno" kick (you know, the dog on Cinderella). He insists upon being called "Bruno". Even if I say, "Come on Sweetheart." Luke will say, "No! Bruno". It's great when we're at the store and I'm calling him Bruno. I get some pretty strange looks.
Lily got a Cinderella doll for Easter. "Bruno" seems to think it's his (of course). Not only does he carry it around the house with him, but he wants you to ask Cinderella questions and he answers by nodding Cinderella's head "yes" or "no". Last night "Bruno" wouldn't go to bed. He was throwing a tantrum. The only thing that calmed him down and into bed was Cinderella "talking" to him. We ask, "Cinderella, do you think Bruno should get in bed?" And since we are holding Cinderella, she of course nods her head yes.
{ My family, especially Norma and Curtis, used to do this with stuffed animals. I can't image where he got this from} Norma, when Luke started doing this with Cinderella, I couldn't help but think of you!

Our Future Pagent Queen

Kent and I decided that Lily is most certainly a pagent queen in the making. She waves at everyone and everything! The best part is that squints her eyes just slightly and wrinkles her nose (almost like a fake smile) as she's waving. The other day while making dinner I got a knock at my door. It was my neighbor. She saw Lily standing in the window and waving at everyone as they passed. My sweet Lily. We really can't get enough of her!
