Zoo Animals

The other day we went to the library to see Kenny's Korral Zoo Animals. There were goats, cows, a camel and others. Katy couldn't seem to decide whether she liked them or not. She would get close and want to touch them until one would sniff her and then she would pull away. The camel was the one she was most scared of because he was so big. I think she was much happier when we were safely back in the car.


Two oops in two days

Well, it was the last day of Super Kids and it was sad to say goodbye to her teachers. Anyway, I put Katy in her car seat and her hair was falling down so I took that moment to put her clips back in her hair. Well, out of habit, I thought I was finished with her and proceeded to head home. Halfway down Frankford Ave I turned around only to find Katy had scooted down and then jumped out of her seat and began running around the back of the Yukon. Instead of buckling her in I had put in her hair clips and thought I was finished! What was I thinking?! I had to pull over into a parking lot and buckle her in the seat. She thought she had just won the jackpot. Well, as if that isn't bad enough, the next day we went to a birthday cookout at the Pepper's house. They have a huge back yard with a volleyball net and a dog run next to it. Katy loved to go in the dog run to watch their dog run around and try to give him hugs. I was playing volleyball and looked over only to find Katy in with the dog with a ring of brown around her mouth. Immediately my heart sank and my stomach began to churn at the thought of her eating DOG POOP! I knew I was not going to be able to get it away from her without gagging. Luckily enough for us it turned out to be a piece of chocolate that was thrown over the fence by the neighbor kids. Whew! I lucked out on that one. I think both of these qualify me in the running for the "bad mom of the month" award. I'm sure it won't be the last time.
