My girls have slept really well for the past several nights. I am so thankful!!! Thank you to those of you who have prayed for us and given me words of wisdom. I have not done ANYTHING different to get them to sleep. I just say it is answered prayer.
I also took Sarah Kate's bottle away last week. It has been a very easy transition. She loved her bottle, but she is also 20 months old. TOO OLD for a bottle. I just put them in a cabinet and told her she was a big girl. I would give her milk in a sippy cup and she would say,"I wanna bottle!" She fussed a little the first few days, but I think she is over her precious bottle now.
Also, my girls are both absolutely terrified of Kristen. They act as if she is a grizzly bear or tiger. I WANT my girls to have a pet they can love and enjoy. Emily has been asking for several months for a new, nice cat. I broke down a few weeks ago and said,"we will get you a cat." She jumped and yelled and screamed," I so cited!" I really don't think I have ever seen her happier after those six words left my mouth. She said,"I naming her Diamond!" Every single day she talks about Diamond. She has even picked out what she wants to wear when she gets Diamond. She said she wanted her fingernails to be painted so that Diamond would think she looked cute. So, all that to say, I am looking for Diamond. I talked to Kristen's vet yesterday about how Kristen would handle another cat. She said," she will love it or hate it." She said Kristen may need to be treated with the animal form of Prozac.
We are searching for a Tabby cat. Emily wants it to be orange or look like Kristen. I will let you know when we find Diamond! I may be crazy to do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know at my local pound they are overflowing with cats. My pound will let you try a cat for a day or two to see if it works out in your home. You may want to try that. There are so many sweet cats there in need of homes. Genah
My children's first pet was a hamster. They're fun, easy to care for, and (don't take this wrong) they have a short life span. ;) We have a sweet Bichon now, and love her to pieces! We would love another, but have decided against it, as we feel this would be unfair to our "Lizzi Lou".
Good luck, though, with whatever you do!
I love the name choice of the "future" family cat. So cute.
Peace.

Someone was told me gray cats are always nice and orange cats are always mean. I have found this to be true for the most part, so be careful about getting an orange cat. Our gray cat was such a loving girl and our 2nd cat was black and he was very friendly also. My sister had one gray and one orange cat. Her gray was so sweet, but her orange one always swiped at you with his paw as you walked by and never wanted to be petted.
