The Results Are In!

In lieu of a long-winded description of what went down today – I am encouraging you to scroll down a bit and see for yourself. If your heart doesn’t break a little bit for poor Thomas, you might have a heart of stone. I again ask you to ignore the grain and blur of the photos.  Phooey on bad photos, but these are too precious to ignore.

Really, nobody crossed the finish line, but Thomas was mighty close. In all honesty, had he not had a meltdown, he would have won. Lara had to rescue him and he just needed to take a break from hanging out with the girls, I guess.

Meanwhile, Caroline was a bit upset that the long-awaited and much talked about Crawl-Off wasn’t going down.

She has been waiting months to see this show-down. Until next time, Sweet Caro, until next time.

Maggie is limbering up as we speak and Thomas is probably taking a hot bubbly bath.

On Sharing Food and Such

Sydney typically leads a very charmed life. It is full of naps, walks, slumber parties at Camp Janet, snacks, games and tons of pets. She is a very loved dog.  Her feelings towards Maggie are slowly evolving into ones of love and understanding, I just know it.

The other day I mentioned that Maggie’s favorite hangout is under the table – standing and screeching. Well, today I think she discovered yet another place to pass some time.

Syd’s food and water dish area is the newest, coolest place for 8 month old babies to hang out. I have a feeling that when any of Maggie’s friends come over she’ll show them the ropes.

These shots are a bit blurry because I was laughing so hard.

Turns out that I’m the parent that likes to photograph their kid making a mess – but I could see where it was headed and just decided to let it happen. Plus this was happening about two feet away:

Poor Sydney. I think that she looks just pitiful. I also think that she’s secretly thankful that Maggie has yet to discover her snack stash.

After the water dish got spilled, Maggie was in hog-heaven….or was it pug-heaven. I’m not sure.

The funniest part of this all? Right after I changed Maggie out of her soggy clothes, she was right back at Syd’s eating station.

I’m starting to wonder if Sydney is going to call in some reinforcements if Maggie continues to mess with the whole food set up.  Either that or she’ll need to take a long vacation at Camp Janet to release some of the stress this has caused.
