My dad brought the girls a mommy cat with 6 little kittens. They are in love. They would keep a kitten with them/on them all day if I would let them. That was fine until the day I had to clean up kitty poop! I should add that I am NOT a fan of cats. That was the end of the kittens playing in the house. The girls can play with them all they want outside! When we are outside they are usually lugging one of those poor kittens around and playing with mud.
Bella has claimed one as her baby.
She loves animals and is so gentle with them. She loses her mind when she sees Makayla carrying one around by its tail.
On a side note: Is it just wrong to be jealous of your child's bicep:)
The girls have also been tending a "garden". The garden is two big pots that have weeds growing out of them. I think mostly they just like digging around making mud and then playing in the mud.
Makayla likes sitting in one of their little chairs watching her sisters. She sometimes likes to get in there with them too.
And this is what she looks like often. She loves getting dirty. Good thing she also likes bath time! She is kissing the kitten and not actually killing it. This also makes Bella lose her mind.
I was feeling a little bad that I didn't get to do all of the weekly "themes" with the girls that I had planned before Bella started school. Then I remembered that this is the way children learn best: by touching, hearing, exploring...and then asking me a million questions. My dad says that I could ask three questions before he had the first one answered when I was a kid. I was curious and loved to learn new things. I think that they have me beat on the question asking and my dad got off easy since I am only child. Bella and Hannah amaze me with what they think of and it's just a short time until Makayla will join them. I think we'll be learning a lot together.
And I can't wait.
