LIKE a puppy

Joe and I have begun to notice that the older McKay gets, the more like a puppy he becomes (weird, I know). Here are some of his more canine qualities:

-Drools. Everywhere.

-Wiggles whenever anyone pays him any attention.

-Growls at everyone, and everything.

-Crawls around the house whining when his mommy isn't home.

-Eats scraps off the floor with great abandonment.

-Carries toys in his mouth. 

-Shreds and eats unguarded books and paper. 

-Comes to you if you pat your knees and call "Come here boy!"

-Pees on the carpet.....(after ripping his own diaper off).

-Scratches your face with his nails.

-Slobbers on what ever part of you he can get his mouth on.

-Knocks over the trash can and drags the trash as far as he can make it before Mommy intervenes.

Uncanny, isn't it? Here is a photo to help you more fully visualize the comparison.

And now to address the capitalized word "LIKE" in my title. Jadyn has been big into comparisons lately. Here are a few of my favorite conversations with her:

Jadyn: "Mama, what is that?"

Me: "That is your pinky finger Jadyn."

Jadyn: "Ooohh...What is that?"

Me: "That is your ring finger Jadyn."

Jadyn: "OOOoooohh...is it like a pinky Mama?"

Me: "Uuuuhh yes Jadyn."

Jadyn: (holding a bundled up camera cable with yellow and white connections) "It's like a bee mama!! It's like a bee! Buzz buzz....ohhh. Bee is sad Mama, Bee needs a hug."

Jadyn: (Holding out a sunflower seed) "Mama, Open it. Open the nut."

Me: "Jadyn, this is a seed."

Jadyn: "...Is it like a nut?"

Me: "Yep, It is like a nut. But it is called a seed."

Jadyn: "....No...it's called a nut. It has a shell."

And just because it is cute: Jadyn got an old scoop and started shaking it over McKay saying "I'm salting you McKay!! I'm going to eat the baby!!" She then begin pretending to nibble on his knees saying "nom nom nom."
