Hailey has a new love: cats. I would actually say this is the first time she is really starting to show a preference for things. She's always been pretty laid back about stuff (beyond her favorite bear, blanket, shoes, and occasionally a dress), but she absolutely loves cats. When we go to a house with cats, she shrieks with delight and claps. She smiles and laughs if the cat lets her pet him. She has a few toys that are cats, and she loves pictures/books about cats. Her favorite thing though is the Aristocats movie. She asks for "cat movie" anytime she is given a choice. She sings along with the song "Everybody Wants To Be A Cat." It is so cute!
Hannah has a new love as well: horses. They had Pet Day at school a couple of weeks ago. I was concerned that it would make her sad - after all, she still talks often about Lacey and includes her in all family pictures - but instead she took the opportunity to discuss with her class how much she wants a horse. She wanted to name it "Fru-Fru" (because she said it would like fruit and she would give it fruit on occasion). She even has a plan of how we could own a horse. She says the horse can live in the backyard and stay in her room, or maybe the garage, when it's cold. She would feed it grass from the yard (as if our yard can afford to give up any grass!) and take it on walks around the neighborhood. She was so intent that I not say "no" without giving it real thought, so I told her "we'll see" instead. Maybe a stuffed horse for Christmas could help ease the pain of not getting a real horse. LOL
