Kids Say the Funniest Things

Last night during story time, Gabbie says, "Mommie when I grow up I want to be a doctor." In my mind, I was thinking, "Wow this is amazing, she is only 2." She continued by saying," Or I want to be an apple....." Uhmmmm an apple..ok she just ruined the moment, LOL. She finally added that she is considering being a police officer. I am truly blessed with an exuberant young lady!

Sad Day

Six years ago, I adopted 2 kittens from the Humane Society. At the time, I was struggling with some pretty tough stuff in my life and the call came out that the overflow of animals from Hurricane Katrina were in Indianapolis. I headed off and came home with two adorable kittens Sam and Anthony. Through the last 6 years they have been great and loyal companions. But in recent months Sam has begun to "spray" around the house. We have tried to work with him to relieve some of his stress. Being that he is not the dominant cat, that role is definitely Anthony's we don't think he will ever really get to be himself. With the addition of the new baby, we have had to make the tough decision to send Sam back to the Humane Society. We have an appt at noon and tears are just flowing. I have grown up with animals and they have long been viewed as members of the family. We have written a great letter to post at his cage with the hopes that some one will adopt him and take good care of him. He will be missed!

Look at me.....just learning

From the time Gabbie was born I have read to her. She loves books to the point that she sleeps with whatever book we read for the night. As well, our daycare provider has been giving her "homework" for months. This week she is staying home so I had to find some "homework" for her. So today we worked on the letter T and identifying patterns. I think she did an awesome job!

2 Week Checkup

We went to the doctor today for the 2 week checkup. All looks good and RJ weighed in at 10 pounds. He has officially gained back all his weight and then some. We go back in two weeks for his 1st month checkup and this visit comes with a shot...ugh!

2 Weeks Old

RJ is two weeks old and he is getting better with the sleeping. We are working our way into a schedule. My hope is that we will get a schedule down by the end of the month....but you never know.
On Friday, we were driving and RJ was getting a little fussy and Gabbie leaned over and said, "Chill out RJ" Wow, it will be interesting to see how their relationship grows. She definitely loves her brother and is quite the little helper.
