Look Ma...I Dressed Myself

Yes, we are in the dressing ourselves phase. Every day the Gremlin has to pick out her own clothes and put them on herself. She is very in to layering and frequently has on multiple tops and bottoms. This morning we wore a onesie, a long sleeved button up shirt, a pair of pants, a pair of shorts and a skirt. Then we put a sweater jacket on top of that.

Most nights for bed we have to wear PJs and a skirt or pair of shorts. Thankfully, it is getting cooler out, so the poor thing is not sweating to death.

While this might not sound like a big deal, it is. I have a hard time letting go of things and allowing her to pick out her own mismatched clothing is very difficult. But it makes her happy, so... this is what we end up with.




Aside from dressing ourselves, the Gremlin has also been perfecting her kissing form...on a goat. She fell in love with a 4-day-old goat at the farmers' market this weekend and bent over to give him a kiss on the lips, multiple times. I know, who's the idiot who let her get close enough after the first time? So if she starts eating tin cans and grass, we'll know why.

And of course 2.0 is his normal wonderful self. He is ready to crawl, getting up on all fours all the time and rocking back and forth. I expect him to take off any day now. Add to that the fifth and sixth teeth his is cutting, and our sleep patterns have been a little off the past few days. But I'll take a crabby 2.0 any day.

    What bad could possibly come from kissing a goat??? Love 2.0's shirt! He looks quite dapper.

    If you would be interested in knowing . . . the Catholic Dogma . . . that we *must believe* to get to Heaven . . .

The Furlin Wall

Let me start by saying, no, I am not crazy. I really wanted a dog and didn't want to wait until my then-13-year-old cat went to the "final litter box in the sky." I had heard all the warnings about cats and dogs in the same house and I knew that my elderly, hyper-sensitive cat would not be too pleased with this development, but I am the human and I get to make the decisions. So a year ago I got a puppy. A Siberian Husky to be exact. This blog is dedicated to the adventures of life with the two of them. _________________________________________________________________________________ My husband believes that the cat is coddled and just needs to get over it. I, on the other hand, believe the cat might have a few good reasons to be afraid of this large, furry beast with enormous teeth and a tongue that drips rain drops of slobber down onto her toys. So we bought a doggie gate to create a "cat safe" zone. My husband affectionately refers to this gate as the Fur

Tears Falling From the Sky

It's raining. That is appropriate since today is my first day not attached to my little man. The weather kind of reflects my mood. Of course, the three practice runs we did last week were great. Then today was...not. The Gremlin woke up screaming at 6:30 because her diaper had soaked through and her sheets were drenched (she drank at least 16 ounces of fluids before bed last night, so it is no wonder). 2.0 has been waking up at 6:15, eating and then going back to sleep until I go in and get him at 7:30, so he was screaming as well. So the Gremlin and I went and got 2.0, sat in his rocking chair while he ate and cuddled for a little bit until the lure of the books was too much. After blowing her nose on three different clean burp clothes, she went to get some books to read. The rest of the morning went ok except for the fact that I decided to walk them to the nanny since we were so early, which normally would have been perfect except for the first sentence of this post. Good

Hi Ho Hi Ho, It's Off to Work I Go

Had to head into the office today. Everyone went along with the show this morning and we didn't have too many glitches. Other than the fact that someone likes to eat the Play-Dough. I gave her one warning and told her it was going away if she ate it again, so of course she ate it again. I know she knows what I am saying and is just testing me to see if I will do what I threaten. I tell you, it is hard to be firm and consistent. Especially when she looks up at me with a single tear in her eye and points at the Play-Dough and says "Doe...more...peez!" And as for the first day at the nanny yesterday... 2.0 was PERFECT. He stayed on schedule, went down for his naps with no issues, didn't cry or fuss and ate just a little less than each bottle I sent over. When I picked them up the nanny said, "he's nothing like the Gremlin was back then." No, he isn't, THANK GOD!!! And of course big sister LOVED having him there with her all day long. As for me, I
