Scotty and I took Kayden birthday party shopping yesterday at Party City. I had never been there and let me just say, that place is awesome!! I was so happy to find the plates and napkins that we will be using for Kayden’s FIRST birthday party! I can’t believe how close we are to her being a 1 year old!! As we checked, out the cashier asked if Kayden wanted a balloon. Hmmm… does she ‘want’ a balloon? Doubtful. Did the lady want to give her a balloon. Yes! Okay, so we took the balloon and now it is sitting in the living room scaring everyone. Kooper barks at the balloon. Jinx wants to kill the balloon. And Kayden scootches away from the balloon. She still isn’t moving, but she sure can spin in circles to avoid the balloon. The balloon would probably be a minor annoyance if it was just sitting in the corner, but it’s not. Scotty tied it on the dog toy and throws it across the room. Koop runs and hides, but Jinx finds it as a fun challenge and retrieves the balloon… thus scaring Kayden! I’m not sure if this means no balloons at Kayden’s birthday party or if it means we need to expose her to balloons in small doses until she finds them fun!

Jinx has some kind of bond with any and all of Kayden’s blankets and soft toys. If ever a bear, pony, or rabbit is left on the floor, we can be sure to find Jinx sleeping on the toy. She doesn’t bite the toy or fuss with it, but she always puts her chin on the toy and just hangs out. It really is cute!

Kooper is just fine watching from a safe distance!
