This week we are dog sitting for a sweet old dog, Sadie. She is a sharp contrast to our young Chance! Sadie is DEAF! I seem to always be trying to get her attention....lol. It actually is amusing to me to see just how alike old people and old dogs are! Kate LOVES having her around. At meal times both dogs stand next to her high chair, and Kate just looks at me and smiles so big. She loves being the center of attention! She has also decided that Sadie makes a better snuggling buddy...Chance doesn't stay in one place long enough for her to use as a pillow. I think Chance just always tries to get her to play. I just love how in the picture Chance looks like he is saying "hey kid what about me?! I'm your dog!"Kate has been busy learning all kinds of new things! This week she has learned what a fish says (she opens and closes her lips like a fish) and also she will make a fish face (by puckering her lips and making kissing noises). It is the cutest thing on her little face, but I haven't been able to get a picture. I am trying to do better at being a mom....I feel like I don't give Kate enough learning time....but I'm working on it! Our adventure we started today was the no-really-means-no-and-mom-means-business. I can't say I'm of fan of this part of parenting! I think Kate is just toying with me, she KNOWS not to do things but will try and do them when I am distracted (ie today our battle was not climbing on the kitchen table, so as soon as I started doing dishes she LITERALLY ran to the table and started to climb up. I stopped and got her down, then she left it alone until I started the vacuum! HELP! She is too smart for me!)
On a totally unrelated note: Why do people always come to your house when you aren't dressed? Like the one morning I don't feel like putting on clothes (yesterday) there was a random person in my back yard. Talk about creepy. I hope they learned their lesson and never try to break in again (or whatever the heck they were doing in my back yard which is fenced in with a privacy fence!!!) There is more where that came from backyard-stalker!

I've noticed that too!! I put on my pajama's and bra on every morning before we come out of our bedroom in case Margaret or Richard come downstairs for something and they never do. The TWO time I have forgotten or just no cared they come downstairs like clock work. Same things with the missionaries at our old house!! I thought it was just me!!
