So I have been using the snot-snatcher on her. The snot-snatcher is the bulbous shaped suction thingy that they send you home from the hospital with after having a baby. Before she goes down for a nap I will say: "Come on Lili, time to use the snot-snatcher" and she will look at it and burst into tears. By the time It is happening she doing one of those silent cries that means a huge shriek is coming. Needless to say it is an unpleasant situation every time.
So I was doing the dishes yesterday and Lili was playing at my feet. I looked down to see that she was fiddling with a doll that she had brought over. Then just as I was about to turn my attention away I realized she had the snot-snatcher in her hands. I watched as she carefully aimed the tip to the dolls soft and small thread nose and held it there... It is such a small thing, and yet so huge to see something I am doing to her mimicked back.
well, at least the doll looks happy about being snot-snatched!

Poor little Lili! Hope she starts feeling better soon!
"Your dolly likes the snot-snatcher, Lili! Smile when I snatch your snot, just like dolly! See? Smiling! She loves snot snatching!"
"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...WAH!"
Oh the snot snatcher! Oh how Corbin hates it. I am sorry Lili is not feeling well. And yet so cute that she was doing that with her dolly! So cute!
Hope Lili feels better soon!
Will has started mimicing a bit, too, and it is so adorable! I love it. This age is so much fun.
