Update and Friday Funnies

Before I get to the funny stuff. An update while I'm here.

Harvey started to spin around this week randomly. When Nick was home for a few days last week he also made a game out of rolling around on the floor with him so now he'll lay on the floor, point to random things he sees around the room and then roll all over. It's pretty funny.

He also started blowing on his food recently. He saw me blow on a piece of something before I gave it to him and now he will sometimes touch food to his lips, blow on it and then put it in his mouth. And he won't do it each time either, just once in a while to be funny.

Another (sarcastically) fun thing we have been trying to deal with is Cassie's separation anxiety. She gets terribly anxious any time she cannot be with us or cannot be right next to us (particularly me... she doesn't really care for Nick so much). Our best solution for the time being is to leave her outside unchained when we have to leave her. She will bark constantly if we put her on a chain - no matter the length, and there is less for her to get to when she's outside so it's all we can do right now. When we were retrying her staying inside, she chewed up almost all of my shoes (which was really sad for me), the bindings off of 3 library books that I had on the counter, ate through some recently purchased groceries I hadn't had a chance to put away - a bulk box of granola bars and some of Harvey's baby yogurts that are cupboard friendly... Suffice it to say that her staying inside while we are gone is definitely out now, especially having a toddler who likes to pull things out which means we'd have to spend 10 minutes putting everything in a spot she couldn't get it before we could even leave. While outside she chewed up a few things, but not nearly as much and not nearly as costly (yet... knock on wood) and some were her toys she was supposed to chew. She got our sprinkler and the hose sprayer, oh and her bowls. But none of those things got completely ruined and are at least still usable. I've been working with her on spending some time outside while we are home so I can monitor her and see what she's doing and getting into and try to prevent things from happening. Hopefully she'll eventually realize we are not abandoning her by leaving the house, but for the time being, it's been pretty crazy.

Other happy news - we got a grill this week and got a kiddie pool with a gift certificate! We are set for having a lot of summer fun in our backyard! Can't wait for the 4th when we are having some people over to break in our new gear.

Now, on to the funny stuff! One of my friends posted this on facebook this week. It reminds me of a kid history type thing. There are 5 episodes now, but here's the first one to get you started! I think the first one is my favorite too.
