Meet Sophie

We have a new cat! Her name is Sophie. She is 2 years old and we got her from a family who couldn't keep her anymore because the son became allergic to her. She's a big kitty, but she's very sweet and pretty. She still spends most of her time under the bed, but she's starting to get braver and come out more. She even came downstairs today and roamed around a bit before bolting back upstairs and under the bed.

Here she is!

Ellie lost her fifth tooth today! She pulled it out herself, spilling a small bit of blood onto her nice, white t-shirt. I am going to do my very best to remember to put a dollar under her pillow tonight, so we don't have a repeat of the last two teeth, one of which might have involved the tooth fairy leaving an IOU. Yes, I am the worst mother in the world.

And finally, Ellie almost broke my nose today. Again. This is the fourth of fifth time my nose has been smashed either directly or indirectly by that child. I think part if it is my nose's fault, though. It is not dainty. This time she elbowed me in the nose while I held her up at the monkey bars in the park. Ouch.

That's it for this update. I'm seriously behind on NaNoWriMo. I am writing every day, but I can't keep up with the word count, so I probably won't make 50,000 words by the end of the month. But I'll have a chunk.
