Rosie and Aishe Update

Thanks to all the well-wishers! Rosie and Aishe have both made a full recovery thanks to Grammie's clinic and some tlc!

"Smarties"

Did you know I have a birthday coming up?

Well, it's actually still over 3 months away.

But, my Mommy has started making some plans.

This year I'm going to have three "Smarties" or small parties instead of one big one!

Smarty #1

The first one is going to be thanksgiving weekend when my Mommy's family will all be in town. We are going to have a puppy party. (Btw ... Rumor has it I will be getting a puppy, but it's a secret!) This is the kind of puppy Daddy wants to get!

And Mommy will attempt these cupcakes!

Arent' these great? The dog faces are made out of rolled out candies!

Smarty #2

Then on my actual birthday we are going to do some kind of fun outing. This depends a little on the weather. It may be a picnic or the zoo or maybe something indoors. Sometimes December in MS can be really nice, but sometimes it is cold.

Smarty #3

Then, in January Grandpa and Grandma are coming to visit! So I'm going to have another smarty then! Isn't that great! I think that one is going to be a butterfly & ladybug party. I'm really into butterflies right now. My Mommy has some ideas for that one too. Take a look...

Mommy definitely wants to make these!

Maybe these garlic bread butterflies too.

And she really wants to make something like this butterfly cake!

My Poor, Poor Little Babies

As you know, I love my babies. I love to change their diapers, take off their clothes, and feed them. I also tell them bye-bye and kiss them when I leave the house. Unfortunately, two of my dear babies had tragic accidents this week.

First, Rosie (the doll Aunt Allene made for my Mommy), suffered a sever concussion when I tried to give her a bath. As you can see, the bruising is quite severe on her forehead. Mommy never lets me take Rosie in the bathtub with me. So, I tried to give her a bath in the sink. This is apparently not a good idea. Poor Rosie.

Next there is my beloved Aishe. She has had a lot of bumps and scrapes along the way. Both of her arms have been broken, and she had critical back surgery on two occasions. Now, unfortunately she has broken both of her hips. Obviously, she is not cut out for the gymnastics lessons I have been giving her. She is very flexible, but she does have her limits.

I want to apologize for the graphic nature of this next picture. It is not suitable for all audiences.

Viewer discretion is advised.

Poor, poor Aishe. I am simply overcome with grief. I brought her to my Mommy today and said, "Ouey! Mommy kiss!" Mommy kissed her, but it didn't do her any good.

So, tonight we are going to pack up these two poor babies and take them to Grammie's clinic for some first aid. I think Aishe will be okay, but Rosie may have some lasting scars. I'll let you know when they return from Grammies' house.

Get well wishes and sympathy notes can be left on this blog or emailed to me. I will pass them along to Rosie and Aishe.

Daddy passed his exam ... and got a tablet to celebrate!

Daddy has been wanting one of these tablets for a long time. It's a way of drawing digital art.

Basically you draw on a special surface with a special pen, and the picture shows up on your computer. It was his reward to himself for passing his exam!
