Today we made it to Joliet, IL. Lots more miles under our belt. We had another great day in the car, singing, talking and watching the miles go by. Lilly greeted this hotel the same way she greets every hotel, "swimming? pool?" So into the pool we went, as soon as we got all our many bags into our room.
Lilly began her trip into the pool, the way she has begun every one in the last week, by sitting down. I don't know why, but it's her ritual, so here's how she gets into the pool. First Lilly has to sit down in a chair and look at the pool. After everyone else has entered the pool and is well away from the steps, Lilly will come and slowly put one foot in the pool. For the next 20 minutes, Lilly will let her feet rest one at a time, first on one step, then another, but she has to pull her foot out of the water and look at it before she can go to the next step. Eventually she'll be all the way in. Then she'll crawl her way around the entire perimeter of the pool, holding on to the edge. When she's done, she'll shout "Peedy Peedy Potty!", and we all have to get out. It's kind of like 'Mother May I?", but it leaves the rest of us plenty of time to cool off and have a good time.
So here we are, a family of robots, in Illinois.
Very cute!
