Yesterday we bought our first book for you know who. It's called That's Not My Kitten and it's so adorable I just had to get it. (I first saw it at one of these meetings). We had fun yesterday hanging out, and we grabbed a few more needed items - Diaper Pail, Bather, nail clippers, the nose thing. The cute shirts Marc mentioned me getting are ( Read more... )
