bieber fever

oh man. so lily, at the ripe old age of two, is just as obsessed with justin bieber as the rest of the tweens in the world. his tunes are catchy, i admit that, and we've been showing her youtube videos of him since she was a year old. and every time his face popped up on the screen, her eyes got wide and she smiled from ear to ear. hysterical. love the fact he could soothe my fussy baby with his good looks and smooooth vocals, lol. one of these days i will have to catch her singing "baby, baby, baby, OHHHHHHHHHH!" on film, that is my current goal. and, yesterday while taking a bath, she told me quite matter-of-factly, "i have dinner with justin bieber." a date, already?!?! not so fast little girl, we have plenty of time left before that happens...i hope ;)

yay, i found my blog!

literally, years have passed since i've blogged, but i have to say that i'm a little bit excited i found this old blog-site associated with a uw-bothell course i took (like the title says, bis318: performance, identity, community and everyday life, with a focus on technology! longest title in the world for a class, haha).

my daughter lilian (hannah jean long) turned two years old just over a month ago, specifically on april 1, 2011, and i just posted some silly sayings of hers on facebook when i thought i should try and look-up (and successfully log-into) this old blog. user id? email...check. password? ohhhh dear. well i took a lucky guess and it worked...check. now i'm in :)

so the facebook post was a list of funny phrases lily has been repeating lately and they include: "i can't believe it!," "it's my favorite!," "i'm so excited!," "you're my best friend...in the whole world," "kids (insert any word here really, water, bubbles, toys, etc.) everywhere!"," "look at me, i'm not holding on tight!," "i like kids/i like my friends..." she is so funny, i could listen to her talk for hours! can't wait to hear what she comes up with next...

on another note, yesterday was mother's day and it was really great! greg and lily got me the sweetest supermom card (and a starbucks gift card, win!) and my other gift that i unabashedly asked greg for isn't here yet, but it's like a present for both of us: a sonicare toothbrush with two spinbrushes! so excited, we'll both have sparkling clean teeth! haha. anyway, lily had an amazing (and often rare) 2-hour nap, then we took a few pictures in the front yard, got in the car, made a stop at subway (famished!), then walgreens, then dropped off some flowers for my bff and new mama nicole (with her darling baby madison), then went to nana debi's house, THEN our final stop was at justin and teresa's house for dinner and dessert. phew and yum! i must say it was nice spending the morning with my two loves just sitting at home. hanging around the house getting prepped for a fun evening out is something that i treasure...i don't know why, but maybe it's because all too soon these moments will be gone. lily will be grown up and i won't have to get her dressed or changed or fed or anything at all. WAH! want my little girl to stay little forever...

well it's late, i better hit the sack (does anyone really talk like that?), but i'm pretty happy i have rediscovered this outlet to get all of my expressions (and lilian's!) out. goodnight!
