“Mom, take this picture for yours blog.” – Nathan

Here is more of what Nathan had to say about this picture:“I love playing with cats. I love myself. And, I love Caser (our dog). I love my mom (followed by lots of kisses). I love “evrenbody” all my family and friends (with big circle hand gestures).”He LOVES LOVES LOVES this kitty! It’s true that you are much more relaxed about things the more kids you have. Nathan is our 4th (for those who might be new to the blog) and I would *NEVER* in a million years have let a kitty in the house before. But, I do let Nathan bring this kitty onto the porch, but ONLY while he is standing right there (or in this case laying down beside it) with it. It’s a GREAT distraction for him while we’re trying to do some school work with the older kids. This kitty even gets SPECIAL food thanks to Grandma Bonnie (again more about her in a future post) buying it some special food and giving it to Nathan one day while he was at their house for dinner with my parents. This kitty just showed up at our house one day out of NOWHERE! He’s very friendly unlike the barn cats that we have. This one loves to be held and petted and played with so it’s perfect for Nathan!
