OK, maybe not til she's 18 but she definitely was in trouble. I should probably explain this better. During Lily's nap time on Tuesday she decided that she would rip her pretty wallpaper border (which Mommy totally loves) off of her wall. I was not happy. And neither was Cody cause that added another thing on his "Honey-do list". I have no idea why she did this. She's normally good during nap time. She usually just reads or plays with the toys in her bed.
So even though ripping the wallpaper off is pretty bad she did actually do a very sweet thing on Saturday morning that almost made me cry. The back story is that Owen was coughing a little on Friday, so I had decided that I would wait one more day until I called the doctor. But Saturday morning around 3 he started to cough really bad and just seemed like he was having a hard time breathing. So we tried a steam bath and that didn't really help, and then we decided just to take him to the ER. We woke up Lily and off we went. The ER was empty and they took us back right away. They told us that he had Croup (which is what I guessed) and gave him some steroids. They were just about to release us when Lily told the nurse, "Thank you for fixing Owen." That just melted my heart. It was probably one of the nicest things she has ever said to somebody else. So I guess we're doing at least one thing right in raising her. And Owen by the way is doing much better.
