It's a Boy!
And so, after 8 months of thinking that "Precious Sally the Ninja Cat" was a girl, we went to the vet today to get her spayed, and found out that she needed to be neutered because she was a he. There is now a heated debate going on amongst the smaller people in this family about whether or not to change his name. One idea was "Precious Bob the Ninja Cat," another was "Precious Spiderman the Ninja Cat" (I bet no one will guess who's idea that was). I think they finally decided that we will leave the original name, which is fine with me because I, personally, call him "Pussy Willow" anyway. Because that is what he looks like.

Is it worth it?

After a few colleagues of mine had an Instalanche, I had a nightmare where 728 people viewed my blog and made comments about how my spelling was terrible and when I went in to fix the spelling errors, my keyboard wouldn't work...it was horrible--is the fame and fortune that comes with having a blog worth it?

Finally...

I suppose it is time for me to put in an initial entry. This blog will be about random things--I'm not good with having one specific theme to talk about--those who know me will concur with this.

Does anyone know why little girls prefer to jabber on and on and on and on where as little boys seem to come out of the womb equipped to make sound effects? My girls keep telling (read: jabber on and on) me that they are getting tired of my son constantly making sound effects. He doesn't just walk around the house--he is either running (making "running" sound effects) or posing like he is about to karate chop someone (complete with the martial arts sound effects), or jumping (jumping sound effects), or...well, you get the picture. Also, when playing with toys, the girls make the inanimate objects "talk," whereas my boy creates a sound effect for whatever the toy is (car, plane, train--he even makes noises when he is shooting a basketball or kicking a soccer ball).

When "Whose Line is it Anyway" was on the air, the cast had a skit they would do where the actors would act out a scene and a couple of audience members would make the sound effects for them--they always picked girls to make the sound effects because it was so funny...

By the way, I love my girls. For the first 6 years of my raising children life, little girl behavior was all I knew...and I am now having a GREAT time discovering little boy behavior--love the boy too!
