So this post seems really silly now because it has gotten so much colder the past week than it was. So, for my family in Utah who thinks it's crazy that I put my daughter in her swimsuit and sun hat and sent her in the backyard to play in the wading pool, I PROMISE it was totally 85 degrees that day and she did not want to play outside otherwise. I tried to convince her to go play with her bubbles she got from Grandpa Laudie for Christmas (she is officially obsessed with blowing bubbles now!), but she stood in the doorway and just looked uncomfortable. As soon as i mentioned the word "swimming" though, she was out the door and ready to play! She only played for about half an hour and then came in to warm up a bit, but she definitely was having a blast! She's definitely ready for summertime so she can swim! My little fishy!
On an unrelated note, we recently found a new home for our former dog Cougar. While he was a new, learning experience to have, he was a bit too much dog for my little 2 year old who wanted to play with him but not be tackled in the process. This has by no means deterred us from getting a dog again, but next time we will definitely get a smaller dog! Cougar now lives in Mesa with a nice family with 3 kids and 2 other dogs. An interesting note is that we found out the week he moved out that he was actually mostly German Shepherd. Go figure. We got a nice card from the family just the other day letting us know that he's fitting in with their family just fine, they're starting obedience school with him next month, and that they just love him. It was a good decision for us and him.
This is Amy saying goodbye to Cougar. I wish I could say the sadness in her eyes was because she was going to miss him, but actually he just licked her face (which she hated) and she was a little mad at him. It was a bitter sweet goodbye, but it's been nice to be able to freely use our backyard again.
