True love looks like this...

This reminds me of Toy Story and the scene where Buzz is dressed up by Sid's sister for a tea party.

A Squirrel Named Cake

We have a new friend around the house... Cake. Cake has made regular lunchtime appearances in our backyard for the last couple of weeks or so. We used to have about 3 or 4 squirrels that ran around and taunted our dogs, but this one has some serious staying power.  I've been working on C developing her imagination lately by asking her the names of dolls, what animals we see are doing, what she cooks in her little kitchen, etc. I asked her what this squirrel's name was, and she immediately, and emphatically, pronounced it to be "Cake." So Cake it is! C watches him eat his lunch each day ("'corns," according to her) and loves to tell me exactly what he's doing ("Jump down! 'Corns! Jump up! 'Corns!"... this is not a complicated animal) the entire time.
