dogs are hairy.

It blows my mind that, even if I vacuum three times a week, I still dump out enough fur every time to create a whole new dog.

Kids are weird.

Dear Andre,

I realize you want very much to be like your big brother. Not quite eleven months old, however, is far too young to refuse to nap.

Thank you for your consideration,

Your Mother
