akaiya's new friend

this week we have had a new addition in our household. a doggie! kaiya has always loved dogs. for some reason she has always had a huge reaction to dogs, especially small ones. put a cat in front of her, she might smile or she might not. put a dog in front of her, and the kid lights up! so when a family friend asked us to dogsit we were very excited to "try out" having a dog - just to see what kaiya would do. so far it has been excellent. one of the concerns that the dog's owner had was that this dog isn't really used to being around children - she's actually a little afraid of them. but for some reason this dog is fond of kaiya. and kaiya absolutely adores her! the dog's name is maggie, and it's definitely going to be hard to give her back! one of the cutest things that lil maggie did was when she was given her toys the first thing she did was take this squeaky toy to kaiya and she kept putting it in kaiya's hand, trying to get her to play. kaiya thought that it was the best thing ever and was laughing and just vibrating b/c she was so excited! kaiya likes to move and roll around - but ever since the dog got here she has really been scooting around on the floor trying to get to her. it's awesome to see kaiya being so motivated to move and use her little muscles!
