Snowbunny

Willow had her first snow day from school today. We had about a foot and a half of snow in our backyard, so I got her a $14 plastic toboggan (she picked the color) from the local hardware store. We had a blast in our little backyard with the dogs tearing around while we sledded. Check out our athletic Waylon (dark brown chocolate lab mix) at about 0:48 into the video. And, no, those growls aren’t anything to worry about – that’s just our young pit bull Bailey just playing really really hard. We’re still working on the snowball thing, though…I love winter.

Cousins

Willow and her 1 year old cousin Lulu Clementine had a blast together over Thanksgiving.

Willow on the verge…of talking!

Willow has been doing these long monologues more and more lately, and it’s so incredibly exciting to see how much she wants to express, how expressive she naturally is, and how she really seems to enjoy “conversating” with Bonnie. She has been with us just a little over a year, and, man, she’s changed so much! She’s really come a long, long way. You will hear in this monologue many recognizable words that she intersperses with Willow-speak. She really, really, wants to speak!
