Ahh yes, Lola finally grew up. It’s almost as if she skipped right through the toddler years and straight into elementary school…. how odd.
El was so much in love! Every time she hugged little Lola it was as if she was hugging herself. She wanted to do it all over again. Funny how that works… as soon as they grow on ya, you start missing those teeny weeny babies again.
But I digress….
Lola loved her new room!! Frogs? Not so much… but daddy found it and thought it would be a nice touch. Speaking of daddy, he and Pete built that fancy addition onto their house. You see, there was no way Joey was giving up his office. That’s the only he was able to bring home $800 a day!
Took about a week (and more of Joey’s savings than he would care to discuss thank you very much) and some intense labor (bazinga!) to get everything ready for Lola to grow up.
Lola got her smarts from her mother. After checking out her room, she sat right down at her desk and started her homework that magically appeared in her box of stuff and coincidentally needed to be completed before she started school… how odd.
Joey spent most of his time in her room. Lola was the love of his life and the best doll house player, like, ever. She totally had the doll game down.
She got her amazing personality from her daddy and she just LOVED chatting it up with ‘ol uncle Pete!
Bedtime approached, but since it was her birthday, El and Joey decided to let Lola stay up late. I mean, it was a celebration! Eloise baked cookies and everything!
Peter teased her about changing her stinky diapers, and she teased right back about wearing no socks and bright blue shoes.
She gets that wild sense of humor from her dad. After all, he brings home the bacon from his sense of humor!
The Markhams ladies and gentlemen…
