Ahah! See it wasn’t me messing up my room!! It was Jovie!

My dearest, most loving, most caring, most understanding, the cleverest and handsomest guy I know, I promise my room was tidy. I have no idea what happened. I think the dogs did it. I left a package on the floor and I think they thought it was food. I was really shocked this evening when I came up here to do some crafting. I was, still am, quite upset because it’s not like I can ask them to clean!! You think I can hire somebody to come and tidy up for me? Just this once, I mean since the dogs did it ya know.

Before bed..

M: Mommy, will you braid my hair?
Me: Now?
M: Yes
Me: Why?
M: So I can wake up and have curly hair
Me: Ooooh… sure, grab me some hair pieces to tie the ends
M: Ok, but I want four of them
Me: Sure

This morning…

M: (waltzing in to my bedroom) Tada…
Me: Whooooo, look at you fancy girl
M: Do you like it?
Me: I LOVE it!!
M: (GIGANTIC smile)

In the car…

Me: (Almost to school) Why are you not sitting back?
M: I don’t want to ruin my hair
Me: (Rolled eyes) Oh, M…

Driving home… hair still curly by the way (I was quite surprised!)…

Me: Did your friends like your hair?
M: Yes, they liked it (kind of monotonous)
Me: Nice!
M: (Enthusiastically) I love my hair, mommy. I kept wanting to look at myself in the mirror and go ooooh, aaaaah, so beautiful!!!
Me: (Burst out laughing) Oh, my Memers Ann (just one of my other names for her), you make me laugh
M: (Giggles) I love it when you laugh, mommy, and when you call me Memers Ann
Me: (Still laughing)You make me laugh, Emma
M: I know (giggles), can we braid my hair again tonight?
Me: Sure, why not

From the back…

I think my baby’s the cutest baby in the whole wide world!!! Ok, I’m sure there are other babies cuter than Jovie but you have to admit, she is cute, right (please say yes cause if not I’d have to go see my eye doctor again to get a new prescription).

It’s very interesting to have two girls who look different but at the same time similar. When I look at M’s baby pictures there are a lot of similarities but if I just look at Jovie, she looks JUST like her daddy where M is more like me. I wonder if Jovie will tan up a bit?

That’s Miss M’s job. She said she wants a Chihuahua and we told her she needs to grow up some before that and in the mean time learn to care for a dog by feeding and picking up poo if there’s ever an accident. The feeding has been hit and miss at times and although the first poo picking time was quite dramatic she’s now ok with it. Our dogs have little poo anyways because they eat good food. If you’re interested we give Shady Canidae Senior and Max Orijen. There’s a less expensive version of Orijen, it’s called Acana. Same company and similar ingredients. The difference is in the amount of meat. So far Max is doing well with it. He’s got the itchies. The grain does it. When we get to the UK we’ll have to switch to a different food. I think I’ve found one that’s similar to what Max eats. We’ll just have to try it out. We can get Acana there but it’s quite a bit more.
