This was too cute to not post. We visited my family in Idaho this summer and Lilly loved it. She had a full time friend, her cousin Tyson. I am not certain how interested Tyson was in Lilly. He was a classic boy--push her, shove a little bit and then wait to see if she'd push back. When she didn't, he was through with her. My favorite was when they were playing catch with a little rubber football. Lilly would toss the ball high in the air to Tyson. Tyson would then return the ball by throwing it straight at her face. At one point, he just walked up and hit her in the face with the ball (while still holding the ball). Evidently, he wanted the effect of throwing the ball at someone but didn't want to actually give up the ball. Well, we have returned home and have since enrolled Lilly in Judo so that she can take Tyson down when we visit next.
