It's been a while since the goose got press on these pages, and she's high due for an update. She absolutely delights in her friends and, happily, has several great ones whom she adores. With the first (top photo) she coincidentally shares her first name and birth month, and they are the cutest pair you've ever seen. They spend most Wednesday mornings 9-11 AM together, during their 4-year old siblings' preschool co-op. Goose is always ecstatic at the prospect of the playdate. Within 60 seconds of their entering the house this past Wednesday morning, the two girls were sitting together like this share-reading a book. Priceless.
The goose also enjoyed playing with her fellow 2-year old, Josephine Dibiase, when her family was here for a sleepover last weekend. They especially enjoyed tumbling down the playset slide in the back yard, giggling. Here the two are pictured after enclosing themselves in Angus' crate - along with the Tinkerbell Balloon I got for my birthday...
Not only does the goose enjoy independently completing tasks, she insists upon it. Opening the front door when it's time to leave, turning off her sound machine after waking up, scooping Angus' dinner food into his bowl, flushing when she's done with the potty, confiscating a toy she feels the mouse should not be permitted to use - Goose believes she's been wronged if she's not the one doing these tasks for any reason. Which is lovely in spirit but can require some re-training at times...
So much joy this small one brings to our house. Thank God for her.
