The Joy of Animals

Tonight I asked Kaylynn if she could say "Gus." Her response was, "sssss." She's getting sounds - so smart! I haven't heard her make the "g" sound yet, so that's still coming. Actually, a fellow teacher told me there was a book or something that had all the research about language and sound acquisition in babies/children. I'd be interested to see what the order of sounds is. That's off topic.
My point in telling you how Kaylynn says Gus, is that she LOVES him! Zoe too, but that's really hard to say. If he noses her or sits close enough where she can grab his tail, she starts laughing and squealing! We're going to have to work on being nice and gentle, because she will grab his eye. She had a hold of his mouth, you know that floppy part, his lips maybe? Very funny. And then she had a bath, because, well, that's gross. Here are 3 badly taken photos of her playing with Sweet Boy tonight (if we ever have a son, I'm going to have to come up with something else for Gus...)

Ah, Zoe. Sweet kitty, Zoe. How she wanted to get that lizard...chameleon, whatev.
