Lily was truly tickled to see her good friend. Many thanks to ALF's caretakers, Miss Michele and Miss Lindsey, for granting him permission to leave the premises.

Alien invasion
When Lily got home from swimming this evening, she had a surprise visitor from the planet Melmac (by way of the Threes Room at her former preschool). ALF apparently heard that Lily was missing him at her new school, so he decided to spend the weekend at our house. (Of course, he didn't even call first--so like ALF!)

First day photo shoot (plus bonus lunch update!)
Lily picked out her clothes for her first day at the "big kid" school. Naturally, she wanted to match Amalia.
There was a chance of rain today, so Lily donned her favorite raincoat before we walked to school. If her coat were a pair of pants, it would be called "floods."
***LUNCH UPDATE***
Everything was eaten except for the craisins and grapes -- the latter of which is being consumed as I write this. A pretty good day, all in all.
Other details about Lily's first day at Pre-K have not yet been made available, though apparently she played dinosaurs with the boy who was next to her during naptime.

The Safety Dance
Step 1: Annoy your wife by picking up a freecycled turntable on the sidewalk, making you both even later to a friend's dinner party.
Step 2: Dig out your old 45s from the basement.
Step 3: Party like it's 1982!
Don't cry, Mom. It's only cheese.
Lily will now be joining the world of brown baggers, getting cold, packed lunches instead of the hot meals she's heretofore enjoyed at daycare.
Because I am indeed a typical parent (more often than I like to admit), I took a picture of her first-ever packed lunch and have captured its contents below for posterity.
Lunch box: Bento box-style from the Container Store
Main compartment:
- Special K cereal bar
- Rolled-up turkey slices
- Vegetable sticks
- Pickles
- Apple
- Babybel cheese
- Water
- Grapes
- Craisins and little marshmallows
We'll see what she actually eats...
4 going on 14
Lily starts Pre-K at her new school tomorrow, so we thought it would be fun to have a playdate with one of her friends from daycare (you may recognize her from the matching dress post).
Painting pottery: a slice of suburbia right here in DC.

Fashion statement
You decide: gangsta or engineering school grad student?
On an unrelated note (but wearing the same outfit, so I'm including it here), though it doesn't look like Amalia thinks much of the bear that sings "You're the One that I Want" from Grease, it actually is the most frequent cause of her "more" hand sign.
