trips to costco & 2 year check up

So I took Lydia to Costco the other day to grab a few items and it turned into the "Lydia show". It never fails, no matter where we are people are always stopping to talk to Lydia. So this older woman, who Lydia kept calling "grandma Lois"(my step-dads mom) was talking to Lydia when all of a sudden she says "hey, you're old and I'm young!". Good thing the woman had a sense of humor, she said "you're exactly right!". Feeling a little embarrassed about that we continued shopping when a woman, probably in her 90's came over to talk to Lydia...this woman had an eye patch(can you see where this is going???)...Lydia says "Look mommy...a PIRATE!!!!" Then starts yelling "ARGH MATEY!!!", over and over again. I don't think the woman knew quit how to respond, and I kept talking over Lydia and walked away. So as if that weren't enough...we get to the check out line and the man who was our checker was black...Lydia says to him, "why are you purple?"...I think my jaw hit the floor. He handled it very well and said, "I'm not, I'm black". She was just like "oh...okay". The woman who was boxing up our groceries asked Lydia if she liked to sing and boy does she ever. She started singing old McDonald had a farm and as she was singing she pointed to all the people in line saying "you sing, you sing..." and soon the whole line and workers around us were singing Old Mcdonald had a farm and after each very they would let Lydia pick a new animal! Oh boy...you'd think maybe one of those things might happen in a trip, but ALL OF THEM?!?! SHeesh...we are in for it!!

Lydia had her 2 year check up today and everything went great. She weighs 31 lbs and is 3 feet tall. He height is in the high 90's percentile and weight is in the mid 80's. The doctor and her staff were all very impressed with her vocabulary!
