this is the best phonetic description i can come up with for what it sounds like when simon says CAT. he loves Dharma soooooo much. he says his word for CAT much more than anything that sounds like mama or dada.
Dharma is a saint when it comes to Simon. He follows her around, he tries to sit on her, he pounds on her, grabs her collar, pulls her tail, pushes the chair around when she’s sitting on it, etc. Usually she just moves a few inches and sits back down, waiting for more “love”, sometimes she rolls over and bats at him. sometimes she asks to go outside. only twice can i remember him actually getting a scratch. i still watch them very very closely for both of their safety though. i tell them both to be gentle, be nice, easy, etc. i separate them when necessary and am always on alert to know when they’re in the same room together.
yesterday i was thinking it is a little glimpse into the future if we have another kid, simon will be the 2 or 3 year old that the baby is following around, pulling on etc. i’ll be trying to keep him from batting at the baby, I’ll be saying gentle, be nice to both of them again. the obvious difference though…i won’t be able to just shoo simon out the door like i do dharma when i get tired of dealing with them! neither will i be able to close the door on simon when he’s eating so the baby doesn’t get into his food like i do when Dharma is eating in her bathroom now.
hmmmm…maybe we’ll just get another cat 
mommy and i are still babysitting for Amber’s kids on Monday mornings and we have started going Thursdays too. i like it because they have lots of fun toys for bigger kids, and they have a big house that i can crawl around in. it is hard to get a good nap in the morning though because there are so many exciting things to do over there. i like to play with alexa too, but she’s running and talking and seems to think i’m a little silly sometimes with my crawling and grunting. i guess when i start walking we’ll have more fun together again.
We bought our family a membership to the museum as a family christmas present. It’s a really great place for kids and parents. When I get older I could learn a lot about weather, sounds, shapes, insects, astronauts and more. For now though, there is a fun younger kids play area and lots of animals outside. The butterfly house is mommy’s favorite, i like it too because it’s a nice quiet place to sit and nurse after we look at all the outside animals. We took our friends Tonya and Brenda with us and also met up with Wendy and August.
so you thought you were going to take a cute little picture of me reading did you? i will instead attack you and the camera!
