She must take after her mother! Chocolate cookies for breakfast – at leat they are waffles, right?Alexis invited a couple of friends over the other night for a late over. They were going to make waffle cookies and Lily was excited to eat one. I was excited to get Olivia to bed, so I asked Lily if she would fake sleep for me so Olivia would go to sleep. I told her I would come and get her when the cookies were finished. (I also added that if she accidentally fell asleep I would save some for her)
Well Alexis and friends got distracted with other things and I went on a cleaning frenzy – before we knew it, it was 9:50 pm. I whipped out the cookies really quick and Stephen reported that Lily was asleep. True to my word, I packaged up some cookies in a baggy just for Lil.
In the darkness of the middle of the night I hear noises coming from in front of me – It was an upset Lily. I acknowledged her and she said, “I am awake and I want my cookies”. She was feeling frustrated and she made it come across that she had been awake the entire time! I had a little snicker of a smile on my face, she is sooo funny. I checked the time – it was 3:00 am. I told her it was the middle of the night and I wasn’t going to go get her cookies for her, but she could go eat them if she wanted to. She stood there in frustration, then finally consented to lay by me for the rest of the night while she waited for her cookies.
First thing she did when she popped open her eyes, was find her cookies. I guess it was worth the wait – she seemed pretty happy!

Never, never, never give up. Good things happen to those who discover something good and never give it up. Stubbornness is not all bad. Lili is going to be a miracle worker and wonderful blessing to us all; even more than she now is.
