Well, it finally happened. I caved! We are now the proud owners of a White Lab Mix. Other than his barking at night in his cage he really isn't to bad of a dog. He does his business outside no problem, which is huge in my book! He also lets Jacob pull his hair and just sits there and takes it. Just wish could get the barking in the crate under control. That is so annoying!!! In fact he is doing it right now downstairs. Augh!! The kids really love him though. They have finally decided on a name for him. His name is Chewy (short for Chewbacca). Of coarse that was Preston's idea. It took some convincing from Preston to get Emily on board with the name. She wanted to name him Jack Jack, then she wanted Buddy, then she wanted Budha. But, Preston was able to convince her Chewy was the best name in the end. So, Chewy it is - well at least until they change it again.
Preston was so goofy when we got home today, while I was getting everyone out of the car he hopped into the drivers seat and told me he was going to "Take this baby for a spin". I have no idea where in the world he learned that - I have never once ever said that. Crazy kid. Emily feels like the popular kid in school now that her party is coming up. That is all I ever hear her talking about with her friends at school. "I am having a party at my house". Just hope I can live up to all her hype! No pressure though. Can't wait for her acutal Birthday though - I am going to stay up and blow up tons of balloons and put them in her floor for her to wake up with a balloon covered floor on her actual birthday. I think she will be so excited about it. No walking from Jacob yet. But he is standing up a lot. Still holding onto stuff to stand, so he just isn't ready to start walking yet. And that is ok with me. He can stay my baby for as long as he wants to. He does try to be big too though. He will come and stand at the coffee table when Preston and Emily are playing a game on it. He wants to play too, they are usually so sweet to him about it too. They both wrote him some birthday cards today. I was listening to them while they were drawing them. They both were talking about how they love him so much and how he is the best baby brother. It was really cute. Ok, better do something about the dog before he wakes up the kids. Will post again soon.
