Pets and Kids

It amazes me, although I am not sure why. Everything about the vacuum cleaner that my dog thinks is completely terrifying, my child thinks is fun and wonderful. I had to intercept Declan a number of times yesterday as Jake vacuumed up the kitchen/family room (which is currently our main living space due to lack of real furniture). Now that he's walking it made it even more entertaining to watch him follow Jake around and try to touch various parts of the vacuum. I suspect this love of the vacuum will die down as he gets older and it becomes a chore. The dog, however, will likely always hold much disdain for it. On numerous occasions she has tried to bite the vacuum and when it is running is one of the very few times that she will actually bark.

It snowed again yesterday. Fortunately it had all melted by this morning. I am really thinking that Mother Nature is holding some sort of grudge against the east coast. March both came in and left like a lion this year. How often does that happen?

Jake has video of our little walker toddling around but he is holding it hostage on his phone. As soon as I can get him to transfer it to me I will put it on the YouTubes and share.
