Time for a Lily post




Here are a few things you might like to know about Maya's little sister:

* Lily has now reached the age of eighteen months. And she's never even been to A & E. (Maya had been three times by this age, though probably more out of parental panicking than necessity!)

* She has now spent half of her life in India.

* She eats spicey food like a trooper, a proper little Indian girl. In fact, she eats any food like a trooper, and people who says she's petite haven't seen the size of her belly.

* She is a dab hand at hailing a rickshaw. When we stand at the roadside, drivers are far more likely to stop if Lily sticks a finger out rather than me. After all, she's far cuter.

* She has humungous feet. Seriously, they are something to behold. Shoes that Maya wore age 2 are already way to small for her. Either she's going to be very tall or.....she'll just have humungous feet.

* Since her very short haircut (pictures 2 and 3), her nickname is now Bob. Had to be done, as she often couldn't see through that fringe of hers and steadfastly refuses hairclips.

* She loves her big sister with loyal fervour, follows her around and puts up with all Maya's bossing around until enough is enough, then gives her a good whack and toddles off.

  1. Bob is really adorable.

    My youngest is almost 21 months. Quite the devil, but LOVES her big sister. Glad they have one another because I get so darn tired...
