The flip side

Since I shared some of Lily's likes, I figured that I should also share her dislikes. In her nearly three years of life, she has already learned that she really does not like...

• TAGS. Not necessarily on clothes, but on dolls, stuffed animals, pillows, etc. She absolutely must have them removed. It strikes me as funny considering that many children like tags (hence the "Taggies" books) but not so with Lily.
• Turtlenecks. Refuses to wear them.
• Sandals. It is a struggle to get Lily to keep her shoes on normally, but she really dislikes open-toed shoes. I credit daycare for this. Since she has been in school since she was 12 weeks old and open-toed shoes are not allowed on playgrounds (due to wood chips getting stuck in them), I rarely bought sandals. Now she seems to really dislike the way that they feel on her feet.
• To be honest, wearing clothes in general is not favored with Lily. If she had her way, she would be naked from sun up to sun down.
• Her Greek Mythology for Children book. She actually put her hand over Carl's mouth last night when he was reading it to her. Really makes me giggle.
• The Library Song on her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse CD. She consistently tells me that she does not like it, and I have to skip it and go to the next track which is really unfortunate because it is my favorite song on the CD.
• Gov. Palin. Okay, maybe she did not say so directly, but Lily was clearly not impressed with Palin's remarks last night (yes, we allowed a late night for the VP debate). Lily tried to turn off the t.v. several times during the debate but only when Palin was talking. Coincidence? I think not.
