Here we go...

So I wasn't sure what to title this post. With the weather being so nice last week we were able to take our nightly walks. We usually go on these after dinner time, sometimes we take the stroller and sometimes we take the wagon. We haven't gotten the wagon out yet this year because Kaylee loves to walk and I really think Ainsley would try to stand and "surf" the whole time, or climb out. So we've been taking A in the stroller and K's new thing she enjoys is "walking Abby". Now keep in mind this is a 35lb (approx.) walking a 70 lb. lab. I have to say Abby is so good with Kaylee and doesn't pull or try to "walk Kaylee". Brad is usually the over-seer of this as I'm pushing Ainsley. Kaylee will run with Abby and yell "come on girl, come on pig", yes that's right she calls her a "pig". Not because she thinks Abby is a pig, but because Brad will call Abby this, affectionately, in the same way Farmer Hogget would say it to Babe. If you haven't seen the movie then you are most likely even more confused by this, but trust me it's comical. The other thing that Kaylee is still (I say still because we went through this last year) fascinated by are dandelions. She loves to pick these "beautiful flowers" and give them to me, which is very sweet. Now we don't have a lot of these in our yard as Brad doesn't share her admiration for them, but plenty of our neighbors do, and as we walk and she loves to pick them. Sometimes she gets a little to excited and tries to pick their actual flowers. Since we live in the midst of timber there are many people who will plant flowers and things by their mailboxes, and edges of driveways, so we have had to be vigilant in our watch of this. Plus when she's picking these dandelions she's usually let go of Abby's leash. Thankfully Abby will stay put, but this again shows the importance of Brad's roll and why I like to push the stroller. I can laugh, take photos and just keep on walking while Brad rounds everyone up and gets them back on track. Posted below are some of the photos of one such walk as described above.
