Spring, JJ & Destiny came over last night. I swear, Destiny is getting cuter and cuter! *grins* Okay, I’m biased . . . Destiny discovered the true joy of rough and tumble play with a dog, tonight. If I hadn’t been sitting, I would have fallen over from laughing so hard! She grabbed one of the dogs toys, and waved it in Remi’s face. Remi glanced at me, to make sure it was okay, then took Destiny up on her challenge. She yanked on the toy, pulling Destiny about a foot. Destiny’s eyes opened wide as she was tugged across the living room; she toppled over and we heard a loud screech. Remi jumped backwards with a guilty look. Spring and I both started to get up, when Destiny sat up – laughing so hard she could hardly catch her breath – a high pitched screeching laugh! Spring & I busted up laughing, and when Remi realized it was okay, the baby wasn’t unhappy – she ran back over and grabbed the toy, yanking Destiny over till she toppled into a complete somersalt. She laughed and laughed – Spring & I were ready to cry, we were laughing so hard.
So Remi started playing with Destiny, the same way she plays with Heather. She ran in tight circles around Destiny – Destiny spinning, trying to follow Remi, dizzy and laughing, till she’d plop down on her butt. Then Remi would drop the toy at Destiny’s feet. She’d bend over and just get her little hand on the toy, when Remi would quickly snatch it back and do the tight circles all over again. *laughing* One time, as Destiny was bending to grab for the toy, she bonked heads – hard – with Remi. Spring and I held our breath, certain that would bring on tears . . . Destiny stood back up, reaching to rub her forehead, and screeched with laughter again! She tried to chase Remi, then would turn around and run. Naturally, Remi would chase her back. *chuckles* She is from the Herding Group, after all! Besides, Destiny’s little tennis shoes have red lights in them that light up when she steps down – and it sort of looks like a laser light pointing at her feet – laser lights are one of Remi’s top favorite toys.
They continued to chase one another and play tug of war for about a half hour. At times, Remi would pull Destiny over and Destiny still wouldn’t let go of the toy, so she’d be pulled across the floor on her back or belly – whichever she landed on when she was pulled over. *laughs* I can’t remember the last time I laughed so much.
