Older guys!

The girls met their first boyfriends today! Molly is hooked up with Cooper and Alli with Caleb. I think. These boys are only a week older than Molly and Allison. I hope they’ll be good influences on ours because apparently they are sleeping through the night (a good 8 hours)! We’re not even close, and in fact I think we’re going backwards. We’ve had a few good nights with 5 1/2 hour stretches but those are just teasers because the next night they’ll go three. All those books say they should be able to go 6-7 hours by now, but I’m not always a “by the book” kinda gal and I guess our girls aren’t either. Oh, well. All in good time I suppose.

Nugget was due for her annual shots so yesterday the girls and I took her to the vet. It’s tricky enough managing the double stroller and the dog, but Nugget didn’t make the outing any easier when she decided to poop in the vet lobby. She hates the vet and shakes the entire time, and I guess that was her little way of letting us all know. She got a good report except for a minor ear infection, which of course required some kind of expensive medication. So a couple hundred dollars later we were finally on our way home – I’m sure they were happy to see us leave.
