10. Running full speed to take a flying leap ontop of Mom’s freshly folded laundry. 9.   Slunking under the highchair at lunchtime waiting for a flying piece of cheese. 8.   Licking suntan lotion off of Kenny’s legs. 7.   Licking where “the boys” used to be. 6.   Stealing the newly made sandwiches … Read more

10.  Cheering Dudley on as he runs full speed and leaps onto Mom’s pile of freshly folded laundry. 9.   Watching Sesame Street, “organizing” Mommy’s pots and pans and eating a slice of cheese, all at the same time. 8.   Turning circles while giggling, “No Dizzy!” and rolling eyes in the opposite direction as … Read more
