Meet Charlie Bucket

Photobucket
Well, T-bone let Aidan bring home a kitten that her friend, Autumn found in a wooded area of her backyard. She had been playing with him at Autumn's house for a couple of weeks and knew she couldn't even ask us if she could have him. "My daddy hates cats" is what she has always known to be true, but on Saturday Troy looked at me and said, "if you guys want the cat, I want to get it for you". We decided to reward Aidan's constant straight A's especially since this year school has been such a big transition from the previous year. So....This is Charlie Bucket, named for the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory character. Some of you may know that Aidan (she was 4 and 1/2 at the time) desperately wanted Kim and Jeremy to name their first child "Charlie". When he was born and she found out that they named him Jacob, she cried and was very confused as to why they wouldn't want to name him "Charlie". Needless to say, she has her Charlie now.

Aidan reading to her baby Charlie on the night we brought him home. I went into her room to check on her because she had been in there for awhile. This is what I saw when I walked in....Aidan reading with the kitten fast asleep in a blanket in her arms.

Your kitty looks so sweet! I bet Matt and Mel's cats would like to play with your kitten (maybe even Sydney, Maggie, and Nahli!). After you teach your kitten to read make sure to teach little Charlie to use the toliet so you can win money on America's funniest video :)
