New Pet for Emma!!

We have a new pet! Don't forget that we already have our two doggies - Jazzy and Bailey. I'm not sure if the delinquent mice count as pets, but then, what would make this new pet count? Hmmm. You have no idea what I'm talking about... Let me back up - the delinquent mice are as follows: Warehouse Mouse, Honey Mouse and Tickle Mouse. They are imaginary, they do not exist - but they sure do get into alot of trouble around here! Ok, so the new pet - a dead ladybug named Connin (maybe Connon, I'm not sure). We provide our child lots of love, the doggies love her too! We make sure that she has plenty of art supplies and lots of other goodies to keep her entertained. But, she just has so much love in her heart that she has to share it with everything she can. Everything including a dead ladybug and Rockie - her pet rock. The dead ladybug is on a box in the little hallway between our bedroom and the kitchen. There isn't a light there and even in the middle of the day it's pretty dim. Well, that's where the dead ladybug lives. So, Emma got out her little flashlight so she could check in on it. And, because nobody really wants to touch a dead bug, Emma got out a little plastic spoon and a paintbrush to move the dead ladybug around a bit. I guess even dead ladybugs need their exercise. Emma is going to be FIVE in a few short weeks! I'd like to get her a special gift for her birthday, but what's a mom to do when the kid plays with dead bugs and rocks?!
