Yesterday for our after school snack we had sliced apples dipped in Nutella. (Yum.) I sliced most of one apple for the girls and went to attend to something else. When I left I stupidly left the sharp knife within reaching distance of Lily (which is pretty much anywhere in the whole house right now...besides the locked storage room in the basement...).
Apparently she took matters into her own hands when I didn't come back right away to finish the slicing. Except she didn't just slice the apple. She also slice her thumb - right on the end. There was bleeding and a lovely flap of skin blowing in the breeze. I tried several times to get a band aid to stick with no luck. I explained to her that she was suffering the consequences of breaking a safety rule. And that bandaids didn't make the pain go away so she would just have to be tough.
This morning when she was supposed to be getting dressed she asked me to try another bandaid. I told her I would after she was dressed. Once again she took matters into her own hands. (It sounds like I'm never paying attention to this kid!) She put on her own bandaid. She made it stay somehow. And then she added some Lily flair to it. And then she gave it, I mean her, a name. And a theme song.
On the way to school Lily added a feather to Lisa's tiara. Yes. Yes she did.

You have a very funny and creative child there! Of course, when I first saw the picture, I thought that she had chopped off a hand or something, so I'm very relieved it was a flap of finger!
This one actually made me laugh out loud.
