Exciting Things!

Today I had 4 exciting things happen. 
Most of them are because of William.

First and most importantly William started saying
"Mommy, mommy"!!!  
He has said it before in the middle of the night, but it's like a switch went off and he was saying it a lot today.  

Second he also started saying "Grandma" today.  Strange that it was on the same day, but Grandma was almost as excited as I was.  He has been saying "Grandpa and Daddy" for ages!

The third exciting thing is not really a good thing, but it was very exciting!  I was changing William into his pajamas and he peed all over me!  I thought only newborn babies did that.  He thought it was hilarious!  Me - not so much! Maybe this was some sort of trade off for the "mommy" thing?  

Lastly - we got a puppy today!!!  This was not a planned dog.  Like much of what happens in our life, it was pretty spur of the moment.  Once I get an idea into my head, not matter how smart or idiotic it may be, it doesn't take me long to materialize the idea. The puppy is a 3 month old Chihuahua.  I must say, we've only had her a few hours, but I am fast becoming a fan.  Mostly because she doesn't bark much,  or bite, and she hasn't peed in my house or on me even once today.  I wish I could say that much for some of my children! Right now puppy has no name.  Isabelle keeps calling her Buttercup and Sally - but I doubt they'll stick.  Isabelle is in heaven.  William seems to be pretty happy about it as well.
She won't be very much bigger when she's full grown.


Puppies usually don't have a very long life expectancy at our house.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will be the puppy for us!

Now off to bed to prepare for another exciting day tomorrow.
I wonder what will be in store!!!

  1. You must clarify-- the puppies do not lose their lives at your house, they just can't live there anymore. That is an important difference.

  2. This is very true Betsy! I have NEVER killed a puppy - I've only thought about it!
