We are taking care of Nisha, my friend Jen's dog for the week. Jackson was thrilled from the beginning, throwing Nisha's ball for her constantly and following her around the house. Abby on the other hand, began the week running away from Nisha and crying.


By day 2, as Nisha sat patiently below Jackson's breakfast table waiting for him to drop some Cheerios, Abby decided to read her the story of Danny & The Dinosaur. Nisha seemed mildly annoyed....but at least Abby has stopped screaming and yelling!

By Day 3, Abby was hanging out with Nisha in the backyard.....

...and this morning, the kids were cuddled up with her watching Tom & Jerry. From the kitchen I overheard Abby whispering, "You're my favorite dog Nisha!"

Good Night-Sleep Tight

This what Abby's bed looks like when she goes to bed. I wish it was an exaggeration, but it's not. Included in the mix are her piggy bank, vase of fake flowers, a picture of her and Matt, her basket of diapers/pull ups, a container of wipes, a pretend cake and set of cupcakes, a magic wand, at least 3 purses "with a lot of stuff in them!", many baby blankets plus the two from the upstairs couch, too many stuffed animals and dolls to count and every single book from her book shelf. It's amazing that she finds room for herself in there!
