Check out the happy kid!!

Well back from vacation and i think my new kid missed me. Got home Saturday night and it took her a while to decide i was ok again. Seems she spent most of my time gone in the closet with Molly, but you would never know that now. She has been out and about and playing with toys and running in the yard, not to mention playing chase with Dobie from time to time.

However, it also seems she knows how to get on the big bed. Phil was here sleeping and raised his head to find Kati looking at him. Seems she did not really think there was someone in the bed and when he moved and she realized she was not along, she could not get down from the bed fast enough. He did not know how long she had been there but nice to know she is getting around. Best i can tell she had a few accidents in the house while i was gone, but has been a perfect angel since I got back. Seems if i come in the house immediately and make sure everyone goes outside, all the business gets done and everyone is happy. It is raining again, so she does not go much further then the mats by the door, but at least she is outside and i can wash those....no big deal.

I am so proud of Molly sharing the closet while i was gone. She does not even let the cleaning lady in there....ha ha ha!! Kati was even up on the couch with Ashley it seems. She is a perfect little lady when i am around and i have not even said yes or no to furniture. This is one of those cases it would be fun to have a nanny cam for when i am at work. Dobie and the neighbor dog are both doing much better with the barking. Not sure what is up with that....but the quieter it is the happier we all are. I will have to see about getting Kati outside some this week after the rains. Need to get her used to walks again and see how successful we can be with that. It is really nice to see her running around and playing in the yard......was afraid she might not get the message that it is hers to play in but i think she might finally have it. Even goes out and checks out the pool edge when we are in the pool area.....maybe she will be my kid that likes to swim come summer. The other two certainly don't want any part of it all.

Thanks kids for doing great on vacation.......and welcome Kati, to life in the big yard. So happy you are coming into your own!!
