Girl's Best Friend

If you come around Brooklynn, one of the first things she will say to you is: "Casper chew baby" - yes Casper chewed her baby doll's foot off like 6 months ago and she will not let it go. She has now added to her "Casper stories" "Casper step on big toe" and "Casper run fast". Casper did step on her big toe and he is always running fast(sometimes into things). Casper has really been great with Brooklynn. She can go up to him while he is in his bed and pet and hug him. She gives him treats and makes him sit before he takes it from her hand. She LOVES that dog!


OK before I go here is my "Bad Mom" story in light of Mother's Day tomorrow. Tonight I went grocery shopping and Nick took Brooklynn for a bicycle ride. He had the house keys so after I was done shopping I called him to see where he was. He stopped at our friend Shawn's house. We visited for awhile and Brooklynn played with their kids. She LOVES it there. It was getting dark out so Nick put Brooklynn in the car seat and I got in the truck and was waiting for Nick to load the bike in the truck. He told me I was going to have to ride the bike home because he had stuff in the back of his truck and the bike wouldn't fit. Soooo, I got out of the truck and closed the door and got on the bike. Nick walked over to the truck and tried the door it was locked!!! He then asked me for the keys, well I had placed them in the cup holder - in the TRUCK!!! OMG we locked Brooklynn in the truck!! No big deal I guess, right??? So I biked my tail home as quick as possible, got the extra set of truck keys and drove back to Shawn's. Brooklynn had no clue what was going on, she was trying to get her shoe off.... Oh my goodness!!!! It's funny now... I still think Nick was the one who locked the truck...

Hope all the Mother's out there have a fabulous day tomorrow!!! Here's to the hardest, but most rewarding job in the world!!!
