our little labrador puppy for the summer.

thanks to you, daddy doesn’t mind spending time watering the yard.   you make it so much more fun.

and you think everyone should get in on the fun as well.  i can’t get enough of you and your sillyness.

just a few months shy of your  t h i r d  birthday,  i don’t even know how i typed that.  you are a hoot.   you talk  a l o t .

 you love to sing and dance.  your favorite songs are “the thomas song” the thomas the train theme song,  “hey mama rock me”  wagon wheel and “the george strait song”  give it all we got tonight.   you also love to listen to “doggy in the window”  on a cd we have but you can easily be talked into a “crunchy song” country song.  you love to eat “spiderman treats” aka fruit snacks, yogurt and cereal.   you love anything that has an engine.  samuel is your best bud.  you always make sure he is awake when you are and he goes wherever we go.   we couldn’t ask for a better big brother for him.   when we wake up in the morning you ask ” did you have a good sweep mama, daddy? yea me too”  when we sit down to eat you always say “thank you for the dinner daddy.”   your last check up you weighed in at  33 pounds and this mama believes it.   you love changing your clothes through out the day, especially when you find a favorite t-shirt.  right now its currently a toss up between spiderman, superman and ninja turtles.

last week mama finally got a day to go get pampered.  { daddy gave me a gift card back on valentines day and it was every bit worth the wait }  unfortunately, when i got back home to you guys, you were in your bed running a fever.   you weren’t quite yourself the next day either.

  that sunday night we had you sleep in our room.  i think that was the key to keep you relaxed and it kept you from really coughing crying and wheezing.  the next day we went to see your doctor and it turns out you did have croup.  yet again!  we are trying some medicine in hopes that you don’t have to go through this that often.  it seems like almost every time you catch something, croup comes with it.

you are doing great this week and that makes us all happy!   it’s so hard to see you when you aren’t your silly, sweet self.   it’s also so hard to tell you to stay away from samuel, so he doesn’t get sick either.  you love him so much and he loves you like crazy!
