Turns out it wasn't such a good idea...

It had been awhile since Keilah's dog had a bath, so I had the brilliant idea of having Keilah help with putting Dog in the washer for his bath. It was all fun and games until the door closed and beloved Dog was now trapped inside the machine. Not even Back-up Dog could bring comfort.
Am I a mean mom for documenting her anguish instead of rushing to comfort her? 
She was soon distracted by eating lunch and only cried a little bit here and there for then next while whenever she saw the washer and remembered that Dog was in there. Once Dog was all clean, their reunion was sweet and joyful. Lesson learned - continue to sneak Dog into the washer while Keilah is unaware.

    That is a much better story than what I thought it was. I thought her finger was caught in the door.

    I thought her finger was caught in the door, too. When she is older she will appreciate the Dog was kept clean throughout the years. I have a feeling they're going to be buddies for a very long time :)

    We were beginning to wonder about you as a caring mother !!!! I too thought it looked like we had a finger caught in the door and instead of helping her....you had to say " Wait a minute" and go hunt all over the house for your camera to document her pain and anguish !!!! I take back all the bad thoughts I had of you !!!!!!! :)

    I too thought for a moment that her finger was caught in the door, but knew you'd take care of that before taking a photo! Thanks for explaining :) GrammaKay

    Did you have to sneak doggie into the dryer when Keilah wasn't watching? - K -

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

New Tummy Shot and Tooth Trials

Image
I took this picture yesterday before church - I'm almost 19 weeks here - definitely looking pregnant. Aaron finally felt the baby move last night.  It made him happy.  I had been able to feel it from the outside for several weeks now, but every time I tried to get Aaron's hand there, the baby would stop kicking.  I'm enjoying feeling good again and having a little more energy - though I do get more tired out sooner than I used to.  I guess that goes with the territory.  Next week is our ultrasound appointment.  We decided that we are going to find out what we are having!!!  I'm super excited about this! Yesterday, right as church was ending, David took a nasty fall at church.  Somehow, the only thing he managed to hurt was his lips and one front tooth. It appeared that his single tooth took the entire fall.  He cracked it vertically from top to bottom, and then along the gum line was another crack running horizontally.  So I spent about 20-30 minutes searching for a de
