Like Pee on a Cat

I have been visiting with Dylan and my family for just about a week. We have had a great time. I have been loved on, kissed on, hugged on, slept on, sat on, spit on, you name it. Everything but peed on. We'll get to that in a minute though.

While visiting, I have to bring my lovely new kitty Cami with me. We keep her in the 'big bathroom' and let her out several times a day to play. If she would be a good kitty, she could stay out more. We have to put Sugar, our house doggy, in the bedroom when we let Cami out because Cami tortures her. Can you believe this kitty is guilty of such things?

Neither can I.

Moving on.

Dylan has so many little routines. When it is potty time, he is all man. He will sit on the toilet for quite some time when "paper work" is required, yet barely does a hit and run when it's just number one.

The other day, it was a 2 in 1. He sat for what seemed like forever, then finished up with the water works. Having sent all adults out of the room so he could have alone time, he squalled for Nan Nan. She came when beckoned, naturally.

This time he would add a twist to the event.

Dylan: "Nan Nan, I accidentally pee peed on the cat!"

Nan Nan: "That's okay, Dylan. I will wipe her off. I know you did it on an accident."

She proceeded to pick up Cami and wipe her off with a wet one from the wipe box on the back of the toilet. She got her head, face, body, tail. She covered it all because she really didn't feel a wet spot.

"There," Nan Nan proclaimed, putting the befuddled cat down.

After ALL that rigmarole, Dylan slowly looked up at his Nan Nan and said: "Not THAT cat Nan Nan! THIS one!"

And pointed to the wooden cat that holds the extra toilet paper rolls conveniently beside the potty.

Nan Nan got another wipe and was able to find the wet spot this time.

;)

I mean, SERIOUSLY?????

There are some people in bloggy world that Just.Need.A.Life. This one crazy lady has left me feeling like this:

Once upon a time, (like almost TWO years ago) these people found my blog by typing in 'against MckMam@' and made behinds of themselves and bugged me forever. There is STILL one lady that just wont give it up. My message to you:

Yes, I used to be a full on MckMam@ gal, and now I think she has lost her fruit loops. I still check her blog occasionally to see what craziness is going on, guess she is a little addictive, plus her kids are super cute, but I do NOT stalk people that may or may not like her. Sigh.

It has been brought to my attention that I am seemingly still trying to be like the MckLady. Apparently she and I both used the same line from Martina McBride's song around the same time frame. (My guess? She watched [on her TV] the same Grand Old Opry program I did and was equally inspired. Or unequally. Who cares.) For the final time, as I will not give this craziness any more attention whatsoever, I DO NOT try to be like MckMam@. (You just misunderstood me! LOL) Leave me alone.

Thank you! :)

November & December

Dylan and I had one of our yearly photo shoots. He wasn't 100% thrilled with the adventure, but I still got some good shots of him.


He's a stinker but we love him!


Finally, December. What says a Christmas list like "Two REALLY big pillows!" Santa of course obliged.


Dylan also got a few things NOT on his list. A superhero costume and a generic Baby Jaguar from Diego. A real one was not to be found. Please don't tell him it's a fake.


We had a great year.

August, September & October

In August, we made a trip to Aunt Woo Woo's in Louisville and went to the zoo. Dylan had a BLAST. It was just a weekend trip, didn't last nearly long enough for all of us.


We also made our yearly trip to the semi-local amusement park, Camden Park. Dylan rode his first roller coaster......


and had his first snow cone. He shared it with me.


In September, I quite possibly made a HUGE mistake and rescued a kitten from my parking lot. We all love Cami, but she really pushes her luck with me sometime. I am sure you will be hearing of her in the future. Dylan just loves her to bits.


October, family reunion time! I had to bribe Dylan to take this picture with Grammy's first cousin and Dylan's Great-great Aunt.


Dylan also fell in love with all things "Pirate" this month. He is often to be found in this attire.


And we celebrated Breezy's birthday by having a balloon release at my mom's. Dylan wad entranced by Breezy as well. His favorite two girls in the world: Breezy and her cousin Chelsea. Couldn't pick a better pair. We love and miss you so much Bree.

May, June & July

Spring is still here in early May, and our neighbors hold a cook out. Dylan LOVES them. Well, so do we. lol He also loves their trampoline.


June comes, and spring has turned full summer. Poppy, Grammy, Momma Amy & Dylan came to Nee Nee's apartment and we all played out in my backyard.


Dylan hit a 'home run' and we all had a blast.


July the Fourth, we went to a park playground. We ate KFC and played until it rained us out.


One of my favorite pictures of Dylan of the year. Love this little boy!

February, March & April

Just a little more than a week after the post in January 2011, our church and community lost a young girl that was very dear to many peoples hearts. I was devastated, so was Amy and everyone else I know. On February 8, 2011, Breezy Brewer took her last breaths after a horrible accident she was in with her first cousin, who was more like a brother. Actually, she had 4 brothers and sisters, and four cousins close as brothers and sisters, as she was being raised by her aunts after her mother died four years before her. The family has suffered greatly, and are a wonderful Christian family that would desire prayer still by anyone who may read this.

Later in February, Dylan celebrated his third birthday, Toy Story 3 style.

Lots of friends and family attended and Dylan got plenty of nice presents, and some cash too!

On came March. Dylan got to enjoy one of his Christmas presents on a warm day. He LOVES his lil green tractor.

In April, Dylan had a monumental experience. He went on his first flea market excursion with Poppy. The first of many, might I add. His first flea market purchase? A $15 vacuum cleaner. We never said he was normal. :)

I am back.

I am back. For real. I will give some type of 'catch up' post, not sure what yet. But just thought I would let you all know. I am back and I am a real pathetic friend. I thank Brandi for bringing Mr. Daddy's illness to my attention. I had not read their blog enough in the last few months to even catch on that he was ill. I had legit reasons for taking a break from blogging, (computer issues and a tragic tragic death, more later) but I had no reason to quit. So, I am back.
