Our other baby
Some of you may have been wondering how our previous baby of the family is doing. Here is a quick update on how Nutmeg the cat has been getting along since the arrival of the twins. She seems to have adapted well to the motto "having everyone in the household help out." Here are a few of her daily chores:Stand guard over the kids as they nap:
Test out the clothes to make sure they are
Test out the play equipment to be sure it is working properly
Supervise the kids bath to be sure mom and dad get them clean enough.
Check the scale to
And last but not least, check for boogy men and women underneath the crib before we lay the babies down at night.
She has sneakily learned to slither in the dimly lighted room as we are laying them down in their cribs. After we turn out the lights and close the door, we are usually alerted by meowing over the baby monitor. Upon cracking the door open, she usually races out of the room indignantly muttering a few meows as if to say, "How dare you lock me in there!" She has also learned that if we know she is in there, she won't budge from undeneath the crib or closet unless we shake the yummy treat bag. No wonder she always follows us in... I'm looking forward to telling Sweetpea and Pumpkin that "there are NO boogymen in their bedroom" because Nutmeg has checked thoroughly and has chased them all out.
