A Glow in the Dark Cat and a Wet Toddler

I read online yesterday that scientists have created a glow-in-the-dark cat. Even though I think this is wrong in everyway, look how cute it is. .... I know I am contradicting myself a bit here, but cats are cute whether they are glow-in-the-dark or not. Maybe if my cat were glowing at night I would not step on her when I am trying to get to Audrey's bedroom. She could be a night light (I am lauging at my ridiculousness, have a little humor). I still do not think it is right though.... :)

I took Audrey to the park after work on Wednesday, I thought it would be a nice mid-week boost of fun. It was, for her anyway. I HATE HATE HATE Holbrook parks. I know that hate is a strong word and that is exactly why I am using it. Every single time I take Audrey to the park I end up babysitting someone else's child. It really ruins my fun. This recent trip was by far the worst.

When we got there a child about 8 or 9 came running up to Audrey wanting to play. It was wearing a plain blue t-shirt (boy), floral embroidered jeans (def. girl), and white and black high top sneakers (neutral). I thought for sure it was a girl because of the jeans, what kind of parent puts their son in flowered jeans right?

Turns out, it was in fact a boy. And the parents were clear on the other side of the park sitting in their truck, not paying any attention to what their child was doing or even if he were still there!! This boy kept asking me to push him on the swing and asking very personal questions about my daughter. I was getting really upset and kept telling him to go find his parents.

Thank goodness other kids showed up to the park, he finally left us alone. I feel really bad saying I was creeped out by an 8 year old but I certainly was. I felt bad for him that his parents were not paying him any mind, or caring that they clearly had him gender confused. Poor kid.

On the other hand, Audrey still had a great time. The next day when I picked her up from daycare she said, "I go to park? Go to park?" Too cute she is.  

It has been raining A LOT in Holbrook lately. We are loving it and so is Audrey. When she sees water she just can not resist playing in it. She loves to get rained on and I love watching her have so much fun and enjoying the simple things in life. I hope she never forgets to dance in the rain.
