Oreo, among other things.

Oreo has been feeling left out of things lately.

Sure he gets to be crawled on, sat on and harshly

petted on a regular basis, but for some reason 

he wants more.

So I obliged him by treating him like one of my 

children, and what else do you do with kids then

take their photo??  

There.  My work here is done.

Here's a few extra photos that have nothing to do

with anything.

 I just like them.

Now back to my favorites, the REAL kids. 

I tried taking Ava on a test run/walk today to see if she 

could hang.  The answer is NO, to the fifth degree.

Not because she can't keep up, just because she 

refuses to try.  She is at that wonderful age where

the majority of the things she does is deliberately 

just to test me; my patience, my love for her, 

my ability to choose her over every single other 

person or thing. 

I have failed that test.

Thankfully, as parents, I'm pretty sure we are not 

supposed to strive to pass this particular test.

So there is that.

 At least they are cute, 

they've got that going for them.

Now if we could just work on cooperative...
