great hand-me-downs + procrastination =

Welcome to our photo shoot.....

Hello Kitty....

This could have ended badly...Rylen lay down for some quality tummy-back time and Grace saw the opportunity to lie down on something comfortable. So, tail meet little hand. I stood vigilantly over the duo, watching Rylen grab her, waiting for her to turn around and scratch him.

Shockingly it was peaceful, so I grabbed the camera...This could be the start of something strange and beautiful as our "baby cat" bonds with our baby boy, even if she doesn't really want to.

Sometimes I wonder about Rylen's "daredevil" attitude: what will he enjoy when he is older? Now that he has had a taste of the real thing, the mechanical swing that is taking up 3/4 of our living room is rather ho-hum. When we put him back in the plush Fisher-Price contraption, he looked up at us, "are you kidding me? This is so boring..."
