Bathtime fun.
Being silly with Daddy after her bath.
Pucker up!
Finally had enough of our naughty boy Tommy and so I called up the Waiuku Cat Rescue place to see if they had anyone looking for a kitten and possibly a replacement for us. We discussed it first with Lilli and explained that we would find Tommy a new home and get her another cat which though she said it was cool we realise that she really didn't understand what was going to happen. The Cat Rescue gave me the number of a lady who lives just around the corner and she came to have a look at Tommy on Wednesday, 8 June. She needed a kitten who was full on and really playful to keep her cat occupied because it was driving everyone silly with it's constant playing. I told her that it sounded like tommy was the perfect cat for them. She liked the look of him too and so took him home with her. Poor Lilli was really upset and didn't want him to go. She cried and cried and I even started crying as well because I felt so terrible giving her kitten away! I sat her down and explained again that Tommy would go and live somewhere else but that we would get her another cat or kitten as soon as we could and she was a lot happier then. I decided to give her the art easel we had bought her as a distraction anyway - it worked! Thank goodness. It's really cool. The other side is a magnetic white board. Haven't got any whiteboard markers yet though.
The next day Nana popped in to visit and Lilli rushed to the front door chatting excitedly with Nana before the door had even opened. Then when I opened the door she said 'Come in Nana, come inside!' and no sooner had Mum come in than Lilli says 'Would you like a coffee Nana?'. Soo cute. So Nana said yes she would love a coffe and Lilli turns to me and looks at me and says 'Mum' with a look as if to say, well go get it! Nana and I just cracked up, it was so cute. Our little hostess. :)
I had made it my mission since Tommy left on Wednesday to replace him as soon as possible and on Thursday I managed to luck in on a trade me ad for a lovely looking grey kitten the exact same age as Tommy but much bigger. The lady who owned him brought him to our place as she was giving him away without her little boy knowing which was very secret squirrel. Poor little fulla was going to be as heartbroken as Lilli had been when Tommy left. When she arrived our little hostess was quick to offer her a cup of tea as well which blew her away so I explained what had happened with Nana the day before. She was amazed that Lilli was so thoughtful at her age. Haha aren't we all?!
So then she introduced us to the kitten. We said we would take him and bingo, we have a new cat. Milo is his name and he is just lovely. He's still a playful kitten and a bit naughty - as they are - but, the main thing is that no matter what Lilli does to him, and if she gets a bit over zealous in her affections, he never bites or scratches or attacks her! He is so lovely and is happy to have a few cuddles with her. He purrs away quite happily while he's being carted around. What a good boy. Lilli is very happy.
Here he is...
And here they are...
On Saturday when Lilli was out at Nana and Pops place she was peddling her trike around by herself!! A new milestone. Admittedly she would have been doing it much sooner if the trike was a bit smaller! She's had to wait until she could reach the peddles enough to peddle them by herself. :) Then when Pops came in side she wanted him to come down on the floor and play with her so she said to him 'Down here mate.'. Hahaha.
An update on her Gastro - she has been really positive and like her old self with little bouts of being crotchety and not well. She really tries hard to be right but still has the runs and so on Monday, 13th I took her back to the doctors again to report that the diarrhoea hasn't cleared up. This time I made sure that we saw our own doctor which was great. He is doing a stool test. Other than that she is still battling her cold with a nasty runny nose, loads of flem, and the beginnings of a nasty cough too. She still has red ears too. She's a trooper so she'll be right soon. When we were leaving the doctors office Lilli had already opened the door and was trying to get out of there so I said to her are you going to say bye to the doctor and she's like 'Bye doctor, thank you.' and then he said bye to her too (& what lovely manners she has) and as she's walking out into the corridor she calls out 'Bye darling!'. We both cracked up and he says to Lilli 'oh so we are like that now are we' as he looks at me and winks. It was so adorable! He's a real sweet guy with kids just a little older than her and he's very good with her, she does like him, I just didn't realise how much. Hehe. ;)
Milo is even going into the bathroom at bathtime sometimes. :D
On June 14 it was Uncle Nee's birthday and so we called him on the phone and Lilli had a chat with him and sang him happy birthday! This is her new song that she likes to sing to people. :) Other songs she sings now are adn knows almost all of the words to are:
Baa Baa Black Sheep (she's always sung this but now she knows all the words)
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Humpty Dumpty
Hey Diddle Diddle
Clever aye!! Anyway back to the 14th during the day as Lilli got up from the floor where we were doing puzzles she groaned and said to me 'oh it's hard on my knee'. Hahaha. That is totally Nana! :D
Today was not a great day. Lilli was a bit off again this morning and spent a fair bit of time on the couch or on the floor with Milo. Poor wee girl. I think it's mainly that she is just knackered after being crook for so long and still battling away with this cold. She improved heaps after a sleep so I'll just keep an eye on her. Poor little bugger! This is going on so long.
