If Im ever feeling down, I sit in with the boys for half an hour or so, just talking to them, telling them all my problems. I give them hugs and strokes and usually feel a whole lot better. The way they just look at me when Im talking to them is magical. Its like they understand what Im saying to them. They love the sound of our voices.

Their company and calming presence is something you start to take for granted as life gets in the way, thanks for reminding me to appreciate my time with the girls more  :)
Someday soon I'm sure GG's little friends will reward the time spent with them and be as friendly as well as entertaining :)
