The childrens heart the walkin'. So if you see me or MyBetterHalf, all scrunched over, hunched-back and sore. Ya know why.
The childrens love to walk, with a parent behind them, and them holding onto our index fingers. Miss Squeaky can even sometimes walk only holding onto one hand, but that's slower, and she doesn't like to go slow. Mr. Grunty will let out a loud "Ha-Ha!" when he encounters his sister on a walk.
Miss Squeaky asked tonight, "why aren't you super excited all the time when you walk? Because walking is super fun, and you can do it all the time." Good question, Miss S, good question. I suspect, that sometimes adults forget all the fun and joy that can be had in just doing the simple things. But because of you, I have remembered the fun in making "bzzzz" noises at work. And because of Mr. Grunty, I now totally enjoy yelling into a sofa cushion.
And for a kitty update.
Yes, we still heart them LOTS.
It seems every morning, around 7:30, Miss Sophie-kitty needs to be picked up and snuggled.
I try to play with Mr. Oliver-kitty every morning. He does have lots of energy, ya know, and will take it out on poor Sophie if we don't play with him. Luckily, he really likes to chase these plastic toy chain links that the childrens have. So, if he hides it, and they find it, I'm not worried they'll swallow it, because it's built for babies.
