The First Runaway Attempt

Last time Savannah got mad at Corey she said, "Dad!  I never, ever want to see you again!"  He said, "Well, we'll miss you.  Good luck!"  She stormed angrily into the next room.  Literally 2 minutes later she walks back in and says, "I guess I want to see you again.  Want to play a game?"  She obviously meant business.

The most hated part

Today, we had the same standard fight over Lily and the stuffed kitties.  After Savannah tried to hold her down and hurt her, she was sent to time out and told no more kitties for the rest of the day.  This of course angered her and she started sputtering about hatred again.  We've talked a lot about how hating people isn't okay, so she was trying.

As she was trying to finish her sentence, I asked, "You hate consequences?"

"Well, yes, of course I hate consequences! You know that!  But, I also hate your, your, your socks!"

Ouch.

Naming the Dog

We got a puppy!

The girls love the puppy, the puppy loves the girls, it's wonderful.

Corey and I went and looked at the puppy without the girls.  We didn't want Savannah to meet a bad dog and then be shattered when we didn't get it. We went and the first puppy we saw was HYPER.  I was getting worried.  Then we met the other one.  She is so sweet and mellow.  I fell in love.  On the way home, I told Corey we had to pick her name then and there or Savannah would take it over instantly and when she names her toys she calls them things like "Ma moo" and "Nee naw".  So, we picked Luna (after Luna Lovegood).

We brought the puppy to the girls.  They were both so excited!  Savannah started hugging and kissing and saying, 

"Before I had my own puppy, I always wanted a puppy just like this puppy!"

And then she said,

"I can't believe it! I haven't even thought of what I am going to name my puppy! Hmm, what's a good name? Hmmm, hmmm.  I know! 'Flower!' That's a perfect name for her!"

Corey and I exchanged looks and he said, "What do you think about the name Luna Flower?"

She said, "I like it!"

We're just glad the dog isn't named "Troe Mee".
