Puppy Love

Even though the rain has kept us inside today, it's been a pleasant day with the girls playing nicely together. Everybody talks about how much easier it is when your kids are close in age because then they can entertain each other. For our family, it's taken a long time for this to actually happen.

Something tells me, however, that Brooklyn may view Talia as more of a pet than a sister. Early this morning I caught her leading Talia around the house by the neck, using one of our curtain ties as a leash! Needless to say, we immediately put an end to that game, even though Talia thought it was hilarious. Not many of us giggle hysterically as we're being choked and strangled, but hey, she's special. :)

Later that evening, I heard Talia laughing again. I looked over and saw Brooklyn holding bits of cookies high over Talia's head. She would order her sister to jump, and if Talia did, she would reward her with a treat.

While Aunt Callie and Uncle Adam may refer to their adorable pug Zoe as their baby, it's probably time to explain to Brooklyn that while "baby" Talia is cute too, she isn't a puppy. :)
