Listen, we need to talk about something.  Namely, the Jay / Rose situation.

If you’re not familiar with Jay / Rose, perhaps you should revisit the post where I explained the whole Jay / Rose name situation or, if you’d like to hear it straight from the child’s mouth, perhaps you should view the video where Aviean and I discuss Jay / Rose.  If nothing else, you should go watch that video right now just to hear the way she says “Hellwo, Amy Beff” and then you will understand why this four year old child has turned my life absolutely upside down in the best way possible.  Be forewarned that you’re probably going to fall in love with her immediately upon hearing her precious little voice.  I can’t be held responsible, people.  She’s just that darling.

If you’re a longtime reader of the blog, you might remember that, in the summer of 2008 right after our family found out about Aviean’s, um, existence (surprise!), she was admitted to a nearby children’s hospital to be treated for some health problems. Even though I hadn’t known about her (or much less known her) for long, I was already absolutely smitten with her and spent quite a few nights on the fifth floor of that hospital with her.

While she was in the hospital, Jay / Rose was accidentally picked up with her hospital bedsheets and lost forever.  Jay / Rose, who was simply known as Jay back in those days, is a pink puppy she’s had since she was a baby.  Jay / Rose goes everywhere with Aviean and, when I say everywhere, I literally mean everywhere.  We had a situation on our hands but, thanks to some quick blog readers, a new Jay / Rose was on it’s way to me (she’s never figured it out, by the way).

Since I’ve had Aviean with me so much over the last five months or so, Jay / Rose has become a part of my everyday life.  When Jay / Rose falls out of the bed during the night, Aviean somehow knows and I am woken to do a 3 a.m. search for him her it.  When we go to Cracker Barrel for dinner, Aviean orders “pantycakes” and Jay / Rose eats some, too.  When we go to the park to play on the swings, Jay / Rose wants his her its own swing, too.

So you can see how, when Aviean and I went out to play in a fresh snowfall the other day, I naturally assumed that Jay / Rose might want to join us.

It turns out that Jay / Rose loves snow, except for when it gets on his her its head (if you’re wondering how I know this, why don’t you know that Jay / Rose whispered it to Aviean and she informed me?).  Jay / Rose spent some time frolicking with us through the snow and, as we carried him her it around, I started thinking that, do you know what we need on this blog?  DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE NEED?

We need a semi-regular peek into Jay / Rose’s world.  And, by goodness, my camera and I are going to start providing it for you and stat.  I’ll occasionally put up picture posts for you whenever Jay / Rose does something exciting and I’ll continually update this post (and link back to it in each Jay / Rose update) so that we can follow along with his her its adventures.

Where oh where will Jay / Rose take us next?
