"Don't negotiate with terrorists" seems to be the motto for the day! Joy is in full button-pushing, boundary-testing mode today (oddly only with Mommy and Daddy, hmm). She spent her day with Granny Nanny and had a great time at her condo playing with Odin (Granny's cat). This seems to be the only cat alive that will even approach this unpredictable toddler. Our cats want nothing to do with something so small and loud. Ha!

Ryan had a great time at the rollerplex today skating around and around and around. He loves his in-line skates almost as much as his Heely's. I can't convince him though that he needs to put some big green and white pom-poms on them like Mommy had on hers when she was young. Now that was cool!! But I guess the pom-poms might deflect attention from his "totally rockin'" mohawk and that wouldn't do at all! Yes, it's a "no holds barred" summer here and Mommy finally let him spike his hair (but it comes right off at the end of summer and definitely lies flat for church!). Blessings and love to you!
