Summer madness continues in the great no-longer-white North. Jimmy had his first tee-ball game yesterday, which was ADORABLE! I've been having a hard time playing it 'cool' for him, he looks so cute in his little uniform! But I do my best to give him five and say, "Good game," in a suitably macho tone, and I think it fools him. He got very bored while his team was in the field and wanted to stop playing, but I told him he had to finish the game and he did it without complaining. He loves batting, but not fielding (big surprise!) and is reluctantly learning that you can't only play the part of the game that you like all the time. I'm really proud of our little slugger, he's really figuring out how to pay attention and be a good sport. Now if he would just learn to keep track of his glove...
Kirsi is just getting better and sweeter the older she gets. She loves to talk, and I have several vids of her babble if I could just figure out how to post them! She always has a smile on her face and is just about the best baby anyone could ask for. I don't know how Chris and I managed to luck out with such great kids.
We finally bought a new ferret to cheer up Helen. She was getting very lethargic and depressed after losing Ivan, so now we have Ceasar! They hit it off right away and she seems to be feeling much better, although she makes Ceasar sleep on the floor. I think that will change pretty soon. We're going to move them into the old snake cage so they have more room, as Ceasar is a very big ferret. He gets along great with Simba, and the other animals are ignoring him as best they can. Although Sophie is ferret-friendly, she is no longer allowed to play with them since Helen gets very upset about the slime.
Little Sophie is doing fantastically. She has picked up several new tricks and is now officially the best-trained dog I have ever owned. She's a wonderful girl, and I'm so happy she found her way to us.
As for Chris and I, we're still chugging along in our little groove. Not much happening, but that's nothing to complain about!
