Mother of the Year

Many people blog about how cute their babies or children are, but since we don't have children this blog post will be about our baby girls...Madison and Izzy.  Last weekend I ordered a supply of doggie chews and a few toys.  Not that they needed any toys (trust me), but of course I had to get them a few new toys.  The box arrived to me at work on Wednesday and I was pretty excited to go home after work with the box of goodies.  I was seriously looking forward to seeing the excitement on our girls faces when they smelled the box as I walked into the door.  Of course they did not disappoint as I walked in they got immediately excited after one good sniff of the box.  I decided to enjoy this excitement so I put the box of goodies on the floor and watched them go crazy. 

Madison is the first to dig into the box.

Both dogs are now in the box exploring all the goodies.

Izzy carried her toy around with her everywhere she went.  Probably to keep it away from Madison.

...and from this I was instantly mother of the year in my baby girls eyes!

This was so much fun for me that I can't wait until I come home with another box of goodies.  Is this what parenthood is like?  When parents come home with a toy for their child do they get excited over the anticipation of seeing the joy on their child's face when they walk in the door with the toy?   Hmmmm...if so, I just had a fun "parenting" moment!

Trust me, Captain gets a lot of treats and attention too. He actually has trained us that everytime we give the dogs a treat he gets a treat too. He also gets his special "soft food" treat every Saturday when the dogs don't get a treat. He goes crazy over his soft food treat on the weekend. It's pretty cute!

Ok good - just making sure you aren't favoring one kid over the other mommy. Hahaha - Mindy
