First toothbrush!

Drew plays with one of his favorite toys. Thanks sweet cousin Matty!!!
Drew spots his new toothbrush for the first time!
Check out that hair!


Drew started brushing his teeth (he has 6 now) and like everything else, he loves it! He didn't want to stop and got a little upset when I finally took it away. For a second I thought he was prolonging bedtime but then I realized he's a little young to be up to those tricks! For everyone who said Drew looks exactly like George... check out that hair! Poor kid, he definitely has my curls. It's only the back though as you'll see he's all George on the top!

I've been doing a couple of things with a Mom's Club here in Cary. Just trying to meet people that are new to the area as well. We joined a few of the Mom's and their kids at Bruegger's Bagels yesterday morning for breakfast. Our group pretty much took over the restaurant and I could tell everyone else wished they would have gone to Dunkin Donuts instead. We're going to a playdate tomorrow and another one Thursday with the same group. The other kids are older than Drew but he seems to enjoy it so hopefully we'll have fun.

Drew had his first real tantrum yesterday. I thought he had one before but after seeing this one I know any previous episodes were just a warm up. We were at my sister's and I was watching Drew and Whitley, my niece. Drew spotted a candle stick that he just had to have. He walked toward it numerous times and I continued to move him and tell him he couldn't have it. He started rolling on the floor, kicking his legs and throwing things as he came upon them. A fake cry accompanied the whole thing, a tear was never shed. After a couple of minutes I had to leave the room because I was laughing so hard and didn't want to reinforce his behavior. It was just the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen! I told him he was putting forth a lot of effort for a candle but I guess he disagreed! He eventually forgot why he was crying in the first place and it ended. It was really funny and he was precious even while throwing a tantrum. He's got me so wrapped around his finger!

Drew and I didn't do much today, just a trip to Wally and Chick-fil-a. We shared a nuggets combo and then people-watched. He loves to do that! A lot of people were watching him too and a few stopped to say hello. We were there over an hour so maybe the staff was just making sure we weren't up to no good. It takes him a while to eat "real food," especially when he takes breaks to watch the older kids on the playground.

Sweet Bailey hurt her back. It's pretty common for Dachshunds because of their length. George spent most of Monday at the vet and met with a few different specialists to discuss the options. Surgery is a big possibility but we have her home with us now to see if she will heal on her own. She's on anti-inflamatory drugs so we'll see what happens. She's such a sweetie and trooper despite how helpless she is. She can't walk and has to be confined to her crate to ensure she doesn't try to walk or jump. Very sad!
