McDonalds was so decked out for New Years, I had to take a photo :) Chris wasn't expecting it.
A conversation I had with Connor as I was getting him ready for his nap:
Him: Bounty hunters have two guns, Mom.
Me: Yes, but bounty hunters have to put their guns away when they take naps.
Him: OK. (He proceeds to take his two "guns" out of his pockets and put them beside him on the bed. His "guns" are made of rolled up paper.)
Is it just me, or does it seem odd that a two year old not only knows the word "bounty hunter" but also pretends to be one? Of course, this isn't just any old bounty hunter. This is a Star Wars bounty hunter.
We're back from Shanghai. The trip home was relatively uneventful, excepting the fact that Petey had to pee twice in an empty bottle. Yet another reason to take the train and not the bus...bathrooms.
Nanny Zou came late today and is staying late so Chris and I can go on a date! We haven't had a date since we were home at Christmas time. I suppose this isn't officially a date, as we'll be going to a birthday dinner for boss #2, but still, it's time away from the kids so its a date!
I realize that I was too hasty in my frustration with Josie's nipping. It's just normal puppy behavior. I couldn't get rid of her. She's too much a part of our family now. Even if she does snag her sharp little teeth in my only pair of grey tights and rip a hole in them while I'm wearing them, I can't give up on her so easily. We going to have a "dog" unit in home school and learn all about how to train and care for dogs. We should have done this BEFORE we got her, but live and learn, right?

Yay! The Josie stays! I am soooo glad. I'll send you a new pair of gray tights, just let me know your size. I have some books to send you too. I'll make up another care package for you *lol* so let me know if you need anything else.
Chris looks so tall next to those McDonald's tables. Maybe it's just the angle or my perception but he looks like a giant!
Bounty Hunters, especially Boba Fett, are absolutely important in the life of two year olds. What kid our in our generation didn't know what a bounty hunter was? *lol* Of course, for me, I didn't realize that bounty hunters were actually real. I thought it was just made up for a movie.
Shelty Dog , Katrina used to nip and chew when she was a puppy. Their teeth are like needles when they are small. If she bit too hard we would yelp "oh" and quit playing. She got the message eventually. Now the only thing she nips at is the nasty ball she chases and herds. I love Shelties but they shed a lot. Katrina is as smart as a 5 year old child. Chris looks a little groggy in that picture. Up late for New Years? Bill
