Our new bird, Winter! The kids love having her around. The story of how we got her is quite funny. Ben's aunt Jo got her to keep Ben's grandma company during the day when she was at work, but Ben's grandma didn't like how noisy the bird was, especially when the television was on. Jo agreed to pass the bird on to Ben's mom, Billie, to please Ben's grandma. Billie had the bird for a couple of weeks when she was asked to house sit at Ben's sister' house. Rebecca's family has a cat, dog, hamster, chickens, and ducks, and Billie was worried about how the cat would react around the bird. Being cautious, she asked if we would bird sit for a week. As soon as we got the bird in the house, the kids were ecstatic! They love having a pet around. Alivia and Nolan didn't want to give her back, and Billie realized how much they liked her! She asked if we wanted to keep her and the kids were so excited that we said yes! Alivia is fabulous with the bird but can be very protective or selfish and wants the bird all to herself. And, Nolan is quite rough with Winter. They are working on sharing Winter and handling her appropriately and gently when she is out of the cage!! Winter is easy to take care of and getting used to the chaos in our house. We are thrilled we found a pet that we can keep that Nolan is not allergic too. And, Alivia is proud that she named Winter (from the beginning when she lived with Ben's aunt! Jo was asking for suggestions and Alivia shouted out the name Winter and everybody liked it.)
