Daddy cuddles
When Keith came home, the kids started waking up and they all climbed into his lap. Noche too.

Ah! I'm a people!
K: Karen, stay away from the door. Mommy is getting dressed, and you need to leave her alone.
KJ: But...
K: Do you want help with your shoes? Laura or I could help you.
L: Or Noche.
K: Noche?
L: He can become a people. He'll say, "Aaack! I'm a people!" Then he'll help her with her shoes.
A: Why does he have to be a human to help her with his shoes?
KJ: He becomes a people!
A: Why can't he help while being a cat?
L: Uh...
K: Because his claws will scratch her.
KJ: Oh no!
A: But he can keep his claws in and just use his paws.
L: That's... But he has to be a people!
K: Is Mommy being silly?
A: I'm not being silly. I'm not the one making our cat a human.
KJ: You silly, Mommy!

Pets
L: *whispers** Let's get a snake and put it on Mommy.
KJ: Ok!
L: *tosses rubber Polly Pocket shirt on Mommy** Haha! A snake got on you!
A: Aaahhh! A snake! Oh no!!
L: Ah ha ha!
A: You want to touch a real snake, right?
L: Yes.
A: Well, next Saturday is Alex's birthday party. Ms. Lisa will have snakes and lizards and frogs there that you can hold.
L: Real snakes?
A: Yes.
L: Yay!! I love snakes!
KJ: * tosses a rubber Polly Pocket skirt on Mommy** A snake got you!
A: Cool! I like snakes!
L: You do?
A: Yep. When I was twelve or so, Grandad and I went to a park with a bunch of other kids. There was a pet snake there. She was so beautiful and nice. I asked Grandad, "Please, may I have a pet snake? Please, please please?" But Grandad said, "No! [Grammy] doesn't like snakes." So, then I went to Grammy and said, "Please may I have a pet snake? She's really nice!" But Grammy said "Ugh! No! I hate snakes!" So, I never got a pet snake, but I always wanted one.
L: I want a pet puppy.
KJ: I want a puppy too.
A: You do? How unsurprising.
L: Actually, I want any pet.
A: You HAVE a pet. His name's Noche, remember?
L: Yeah, but he's my old cat, I want a new puppy.
KJ: Me too.
A: Well, you know the rule. You can't have another pet until Noche is dead because he doesn't like to share. When he dies, we'll get a puppy and a kitten at the same time.
L: And they fight?
A: Not if we get them both as babies at the same time. Maybe Mommy can get a snake or some fish at the same time.
KJ: Or a bird like Grandad!
A: Grandad doesn't have a pet bird...
KJ: No, in the yard!
A: Oh. Yeah. We could get bird feeders and put them in our yard now.
KJ: Yeah!
L: No! Noche will eat them.
A: Have you ever seen Noche chase down a bird?
L: No. But that's what cats do.
A: Not Noche.
L: So, when Noche dies, we can get a puppy and a kitten and a snake?
A: Yep. Well, we'll have to convince Daddy to let us get a snake.
L: What about a hamster? LilliAnna wants a hamster.
A: ...And there's Mommy's line. No rodents.
KJ: What rodent?
A: Rodents are small, furry animals like mice, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, ferrets, rabbits, or weasels.
L: Shiloh has a rabbit.
A: I know. If you want to play with rabbits, you can go to Shiloh's house. There will be no rabbits or other rodents in my house.
L: But we can have snakes?
A: Yep.
L: Yay!

Little Monkey
David was allowed to crawl wherever he wished this afternoon. He discovered Noche's food and water bowls. On a _completely_ unrelated note, I mopped the floors today.
