Kittens.....Kittens.....!!

On Friday we went with Grandma to see Aunt Nancy's new (5 week old) kittens. I think it was the first time Olivia ever held or played with such a small kitty. She was actually a little timid with them, maybe because we kept telling her to "be careful-be careful" "be gentle" and so on. A two year old can be a little clumsy stomping and falling around tiny kittens. She was pretty good at picking them up but sometimes held on a little too tight and if some claws come out she was a little rough trying to get away from them. She did have a great time watching them play, especially when they would meow when fighting with each other. She also got to watch them nurse on their mother.

She really liked the mother cat, Princess, I think because she is about the same size as Misty and didn't have to be so careful all the time.

There are five really cute kittens and we had a lot of fun with them. It's funny how they can play hard for just so long and then kind of collapse into a pile and start snoozing.

While they took a nap we had one of Olivia's favorite lunches.....pizza! She had been talking about having pizza since the day before we went. She was more excited about that I think because she wasn't sure about what playing with baby kittens meant until we got there.

Thanks Aunt Nancy!! We had a lot of fun and will have to come back soon to play some more before these cute babies turn in to cats.

This kitten was so funny. All of a sudden it just sat down and stared up at Olivia for the longest time. We took all kinds of pictures because it just sat there looking up. I think it was getting tired at this point and was kind of dopey but it sure was cute.

(No Nancy, I don't think it was trying to say he wanted to come home with Olivia!!)
