Valentine's Day cards are being mailed on Valentine's Day this year. So Lucy's great-grandparents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles should be getting "love monsters" in mail in a few days. Sorry we never sent Christmas cards. Lucy wasn't into it, so I didn't force it. I'm hoping to get a good picture of the girls before Easter, and hopefully Lucy will feel like making Easter cards. Maybe Maggie can help, too.
Lucy had a Valentine party on Tuesday at preschool. She had a good time. And Maggie got to attend, too. She sat by Lucy and had a blast.
Earlier today, when I asked Lucy who she loved, she said, "Maggie. She makes me laugh." When I asked her who else she loved, she said, "I can only love one." I told her that wasn't true, but she insisted that she did not love Matt or me because she only loved Maggie. I asked her if Matt loves her. She said yes. I asked if Matt loves Maggie, and she said, "Most of the time." I asked if Matt loves me. She said, "Most of the time no." As usual she insisted that I love Maggie and do not love her. And as usual, I told her that that was not true and was not something I could allow her to believe. She says this even when I'm cuddling her, so I'm not really sure she knows what the word "love" means. However, by this evening, she told me and Matt that she loves us. So we've made progress over the course of the day.
We're giving the girls some books for Valentine's Day. The university swimming pool is open again, so the girls and I will go there for an hour tomorrow. Other than that, we have no plans. But a day with books and swimming is still a pretty good day.
