Anna Clair & Kitty Cats

Anna Clair loves kitty cats!! She has asked several times for a "real" cat. One day Jason and I were having lunch and I noticed a cat in our back yard. I ran and got Anna Clair to show her. We looked out the back door and she couldn't see him. Then she found him and she went bananas!! She jumped up and down yelling, "I always wanted a kitty cat"!!! She yelled this over and over!! Then Jason said, "do you think he is yours?" and she shook her head yes then very sadly shook her head no. Then she ran outside to "hug" the cat and of course he took off.

Yesterday at the doctors office we looked at magazines. We always try to find cats, dogs, Barney, Elmo, etc... to pass the time. She found a picture of a sweet cat. She explained to me that her cat would live in the house and we would get a "cave" for her cat. I said no Anna Clair a "cage". She was puzzled. I explained to her 3 year old mind the difference between a cave and cage. She didn't get it and still says cave for cage. I thought that was really cute.

This is Mother's day. The girls gave me this cat. It's really soft and cute. I love it!! Who do you think sleeps with it and takes it on walks in her stroller? Yep, Anna Clair :) Jason took them shopping and he lets them get me whatever (within budget) they want... from the heart. I love our tradition. Noah gave me a great key chain and a cool coffee cup. The funny part is that the girls can NOT keep a secret!! After shopping Anna Clair came running in the yard saying, "mommy, mommy I got you this kitty cat"... and then explains to me exactly what the cat looks like and on and on... I thought it was great. Then on Mothers Day morning Emma Grace gets up and says did you have coffee? I said yes - and she said did you have it in your new green coffee cup? Too cute!

Mother's Day afternoon.
