Our growing family part 2

Well, as promised here is the follow up to my last post........ My oldest is 6! She started the morning BRIGHT and EARLY, chattering like a magpie. :o) Those of you who know her will not find this surprising at all. Before I was even up she came to me and, standing next to my bed looking down at herself, stated "I didn't grow! I am not bigger like a six yr old, my clothes still fit!" Lol! She got to make eggs for everyone, which was thrilling. She loves to cook! Then when we were in the car heading to town she said "There is traffic on my birthday!" It seemed totally unfathomable that life would be going on as normal on HER birthday! She, of course, wanted to tell everyone that it was her birthday, that is until we went to Denny's for lunch and they sang to her at the end of our meal. She was so embarrassed and was MUCH quieter about her birthday for the rest of the day. It was kind of cute........... Some life lessons are so interesting! Although our day did not go as planned, she had a great day. Her gift was Milo Sam. She generously let her her sister hep name him. So J chose Milo and B chose Sam, thus Milo Sam. Here is a picture of J and Milo:


And here he is in all of his cuteness:



Isn't he a nice addition to the family? We are hoping that it will help her learn responsilbility. Everyone is crazy about him. It has even prompted the youngest to finally talk a little bit. He can say rabbit, bunny, and Milo when HE wants! Fun, huh? :o) Today we let him explore the house. It was so fun! Slightly distracting when trying to get school done but a great incentive to clean house! Wouldn't want to lose little Milo, would we? LOL!
