Tonight's picture was taken in August of 2002. Mattie was four months old and was starting to eat rice cereal. We had a high chair, but Mattie did not like it initially. So his first food experiences were on our couch. Propped up with pillows! One thing we learned quickly and that was Mattie LOVED rice cereal!

We took Sunny for a walk today on the National Mall. Sunny loves the Mall, because it is there that he chases squirrels.
Since we rescued Sunny and he was already heart worm positive, I learned the hard way the ramifications that can ensue if you don't give your dog its preventatives. Thankfully there is treatment for heart worm, though it is tedious and can be life threatening since it is an arsenic based product. Thankfully after three infusions of this nasty stuff, Sunny is now heart worm free. But what this showed me is that monthly preventatives are vital to the overall health of a dog. Today proved this point once again!

Vicki,
I was glad to see the tick had no chance to burrow!! Also that SUNNY found the grate! I can't imagine walking in this heat. I never thought I would feel like I can tolerate colder weather than heat but the cool June in Wisconsin was easier to tolerate than the warm heat of July here.
It is so nice to see that you went where Mattie took you, even in eating his rice cereal. It seems wrong the norms, we have placed on parents in many of their daily interactions raising a child. Do this, do that - one way is optimal! Babies, small children aren't machines and even a young baby, small child has preferences. I too, went with them
