We all got sick after my daughter's wedding. My daughter, my grandson Draven, and I did. I thought maybe it was just exhaustion, since it was directly after the wedding, but it wasn't. It was a severe strain of the flu.
My daughter ended up staying a night in the hospital, I missed several says of work and school, and Draven had a temp of 102. He mostly laid on the couch and watched Curious George. Rhaegar laid along with him the entire day, and was very patient. He got cuddled and manhandled and never complained.
They have a very sweet bond, Draven and Rhaegar. It's wonderful that he can learn to care for an animal at such a young age.

Kittens and Comfort
I take back everything I said in my last post. Well, kittens are mischevious and they do get into things they shouldn't, and they do destroy things here and there. But when things go wrong, they can be a source of emotional support that is irreplaceable.
Everything that could go wrong with my daughter's wedding did go wrong. The photographer and the DJ were driving down from Kansas City together. They should have been at Gage park at 3 pm. They missed the entire ceremony and didn't show up at the reception until 9:45 pm. There were a few amateur pictures taken at the ceremony, so that is all we'll have.
The cake we ordered was not what they delivered. This cake was hideous and the wrong flavor. It was supposed to be a pretty, light colored, woodland themed cake. The one they made was bright and tropical colored. My daughter joked that we needed to run to Wal-Mart and get a couple toy dinosaurs to use as cake toppers.
When I got home that evening I put my grandson to bed and sat down to unwind. Rhaegar immediately jumped up on my lap and started rubbing and purring. It was such a joy after a stressful day to be welcomed home and comforted by a sweet little kitten. Of course, he was probably trying to distract me from the plant he knocked off the mantle...

Kittens Are Bad for Weddings
On the day of my daughter's wedding I wake up to Rhaegar sleeping on top of the newly clawed keepsake box for her wedding dress. There are a million things to do on the day of a wedding and nobody wants to deal with a naughty kitten ruining things.
That is the one thing you have to understand when you get your child a pet. Not every day is going to be fluffy cuteness. There is going to be cat puke and cat poop to clean up, and cat hair ends up on EVERYTHING! There will be clawed couches, pawed knick-knacks, and midnight house racing.
Sometimes I wonder if having a pet is worth it.
