"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." ~Gordon B. Hinckley

Pavlovian Puppy

a.k.a Miss Waverly.

The child has been trained by two distinct sounds.

#1: The words 'yo gabba gabba'....
Upon hearing said words she RUNS toward the couch in the family room and jumps up into the corner with all the pillows. She then proceeds to dance and twirl to the most RIDICULOUS t.v. show EVER made---but man alive their songs are catchy! Ü Here she will stay indefinitely until the magical sound of

#2: The clinking of the sweets jar lid...
The afore mentioned Sweets & Treats jar that sits atop our kitchen table has been full of candy corn for the last couple of weeks. If anyone DARES to sneak anything out of the jar, Waverly will hop up from the couch, run around the corner of the couch, and come at you with her hands signing for 'more' or 'please' and sometimes even 'milk' if she gets too excited. And there is no sneaking anything past her. No matter how quietly you try and replace the lid she ALWAYS hears.
