Earlier today, my kids and I sat on the floor to watch "Signing Time" and I quickly had a sleeping baby lying on either side of my chest. I must have followed suit because I awoke 2 hours later with Henry asleep on my left and Jack, our Min Pin curled up in Ellie's place. I did my best coyote ugly move and jumped to my feet without waking Henry. I scanned the room and finally spotted Ellison, directly behind where we all slept, sitting quietly on the couch with Oliver, our Dachshund mix, beside her. and They both were staring intently at Mommy's Facebook page while Ellie pushed buttons on our open laptop. I thought it was odd that Ollie had chosen not to stay with us boys under the warm covers, until I watched Ellison carefully reach into my open bag of Chex Mix and feed her puppy and then herself, in that order. If only she would share with her brother like that.... then again, she was slowly poisoning my dog with chocolate covered chex mix.
