Today my kids have been angels. With all the busy days we have been having, they have been a little restless, but today they have both surprised me. Shane fed the dog, picked up his toys and even put his shoes back on the shelf after he took them off after school instead of just kicking them off and leaving them in the kitchen. Kayla has been an extremely understanding little angel. Our schedule has changed a bit since we joined the gym and we don't get to play and "chat" for as long as we used to. I am very fortunate she enjoys going to play at the play area expecially because she gets to go out to play with other kids. Sometimes we go twice a day and on those days she is soooo tired and yet soooo understanding. All she wants to do when she gets home is cuddle with mommy, a blanket and her "Cocoa".
Here is the story with "Cocoa". Ever since I can remember, Shane has owned "Cow Cow" - A stuffed cow made by him and grandma at the Build a Bear store.
Shane LOVES this cow! He will not part with it under any circumstance. It has been on every trip, major event and bed time! Well.... a little someone here found Cow Cow and fell in love with it as well.. Shane was very understanding and shared Cow Cow under his conditions and time limits.... but we could tell that it was tough on him.. So, Jim and I decided that Kayla needed her own Cow Cow and we went to Build a Bear to get her one. Well, guess what?? They don't have the cow any more! Great! Now what?! We were so lucky! She saw this orange cat and started pointing at it and calling it Cow Cow.. so, we stuffed it and brought it home. I didn't want her calling the cat a cow, so I started calling it Cocoa and it seems close enough to Cow Cow, that its not too big of a name change for Kayla. 
She is becoming just as attached to it as Shane is to his cow!
And now, for your viewing pleasure, my son the dancer!
