Lydia's new best friend and almost constant companion since Christmas has been Mickey Mouse, a three-foot tall stuffed toy she received from Grandma Jane. As we readied ourselves for church this past Sunday, I made the final call--"It's time to be in the van!" The older kids began the mad dash, still throwing on shoes and coats and grabbing the diaper bag on the way out the door. I went to check on Lydia, who had received orders a few minutes prior to put on her church shoes. I found her on the floor of her bedroom, pulling on her shoes, with Mickey laying beside her, wearing one of Lydia's dresses. "See, Mickey's ready for church, too." So Mickey went to church with us and sat in the front row right beside Lydia with his ears peeking up over the chair for all behind us to see. Mickey was very reverent during the service. His "best friend" Lydia could take a few lessons from him.

Lydia's New Best Friend
Whoever happens to be with Lydia at any given moment is referred to as her "best friend." This might be Grandma one day, a little girl who comes over to play the next or the little girl she sat beside during the children's sermon at church on any given Sunday.
