Wild Wheels and Kitty Cats

My parents have a walker that they have purchased to entertain grandchildren while they visit. Trae being the only one uses and abuses it! He pushes himself back and then runs full speed and crashes into any object. It is rather entertaining, but gives me a heart attack because his fAvOrItE targets have objects on top, and he wants them to fall down so he can play with them.
Also, he is a chaser! That's right runs after; very cute and very painful. Trae loves to clip your feet and now I am accustomed to walking on my tippy toes just to be safe around the My little Speed Demon


My Sleepy Wheeler of Destruction

The Cats - Randi and I have cats and both still have residency at my parents home. Luna (my cat) is 10 years, and Dinah (Randi's beast) is 5. These felines have never even swatted at Trae and trust me he tortures them. Luna plays with him (more like tolerates, remember she is older) by letting him follow her around and around the house. Now Dinah takes the brunt of it because she isn't smart enough to run and run fast. Trae grabs her and is out for blood. Yes under my watch he crawled to her and not just grabbed hair, but a big ole' chunk of Dinah and just dragged her to him. And then he kinda pushed her around like a mop. Sounds horrible I know, BUT Dinah let him! She actually let him do it!!! Never swatting or even breathing anything like a hiss in his direction. To these brave and loving cats - THANK YOU for being Oh So kind to my little terror!!!!

It's like they know Trae is a baby and one of us so he just leaves them alone. I just LOVE EM!Luna

Well I did always want to be an Actress...


Growing up I ALWAYS wanted to be an Actor; often thought of other career options, but in the end I new that acting was my calling. So much so, that all through high school I participated in Drama, Speech and even Debate. I competed with other students across the state, going as far the the state competions, as well as winning scholarships and awards. I even studied acting in college.

But life gives you options and I chose family first (marriage and a child). Let me tell you that Trae is not always as accommodating
as a performer would like their audience to be, but today I realized that the star of the show was ME! My child LOVES me. To him there is none better. I am his ROCK STAR!!!! Everday he knows that if he wants to have a great time Mommy is there to bring on the smiles, giggles and belly laughs. Tonight as we played before bath I realized, I AM an Actor! And I have the GREATEST audience in the entire world.

Thank you for loving me and finding Mommy just SO funny Trae. I love you Bud!
