Random Owen thoughts

Cats
Owen still can't understand why the cats run from him. From the picture above (the cat is actually sitting there and tolerating it), I can't imagine why they don't hang out with him more either.
Owen loves school
Owen went to an inhome daycare up until we moved to the Woodlands last summer. He has ALWAYS complained about not getting to hang out at home but he has finally gotten to the point that he loves going to school. He'll stay at his school through the summer but will be going to a new pre-school in the fall.
Ariel
Ariel is his babysitter that comes over when I have to work when he's not in school. He LOVES her. She is perfect because she's 16 but homeschools so she's always available. When I got home the other day he asked me if I could go to work a bit longer so they could hang out. So much different than when he was smaller and we had to RUN from the house once we said goodbye.
I want that for Christmas
Owen went through a period where he would ask for everything he saw on TV or in a store. So I told him that if he asked he wouldn't get it because it was becoming really hard to take him shopping. So being the smart kid that he is, he now says that he wants it for Christmas or for the baby. When he wanted a radio controlled tarantula for the baby, I asked him if he thought she would really like it and he said he would just play with it until she got older :)

Not much going on here lately. Owen and I have ended up at the pool most afternoons because it's gotten so hot again. Bryan's in town all week which is a nice change from his recent travel schedule. Unfortunately, his grandfather has been in the nursing home the last few days and sleeping most of the time.

On a totally unrelated note, below is a picture of what I found in Bryan's shoes. He wears them to work in the yard and left them out on the back porch. I think it's either an indication that he needs to pick up his stuff better or work on the yard a little more often!
