She’s totally got “gentle” down [EDIT: unless she’s tired, under which circumstance she’s started hitting our faces, which somehow never seems to generate the response she desires]. With the bazillions of animals in this house, she’s had plenty of opportunity to learn what Mama & Daddy mean when they say “be gentle!” She’s very sweet to the cats, especially. Now, though, she’s sweet and gentle with her stuffed toys, too. She’s taken to walking around the house, clutching her doll or her stuffed lamb (that she got from the Easter Bunny, who had no idea what cuteness would ensue) to her chest in a big bear hug, patting it softly and cooing. Needless to say, it makes Mater & Pater sort of melt.

In other news, busy! BUSY! Maybe someday we’ll get back onto a decent posting schedule. For now, though–well, at least you know we haven’t forgotten about Bubblesplat…
