Poor Birdy

June 10, 2013

Quinn was investigating the laundry room to see if he could get outside (he couldn't, because the door was locked) when he came running in to get me, upset and whimpering. He pulled me to the backdoor and when I looked out, I saw a rather confused looking pigeon with some feathers missing.

We carefully opened the door and looked at the bird from the doorway. Quinn was excited and wanted to try to touch the bird, but I convinced him that we needed to get food and water for the bird. So we got a little plate and filled it with some grain (no bird seed around here, unfortunately) and water and scooted it within a couple feet of the bird.

Taking advantage of a cuddly toddler who’s happy to sit still with me today. I guess having a sick kiddo isn’t all bad…

Mr. Sickie is watching a movie while Aurora heads off to summer camp.

Quinn got sick last night and was still rather poorly this morning, so I took advantage of his quiet mood to grab some snuggles. I needed the down time, too, since I pretty much didn’t sleep at all last night (thanks to Quinn).

Sweet Aurora posing in front of some flowers. We were visiting Rock City Gardens again.

Mr. Quinn looking very much like a little boy. He had just finished crushing his muffin up and was contemplating what to do next with it (hint: it didn’t involve eating it).

Haircut day for Aurora! She was not impressed with the experience. :) I think we’ll stick to having me cut her hair even if I don’t do quite as good of a job as a professional.

Look who got a haircut! I was sad to see the cute little curls on the back of his head go, but his hair was getting a bit too shaggy and he needs to look presentable for his uncle’s wedding in 6 weeks. I figure that if we cut Quinn’s hair now, it will be a bit longer (which I prefer) and I’ll only have to trim around the ears to make him look presentable.
