Charlie
So before meeting Joey yesterday (Saturday), on Friday you wore this.
Cutie, you love your walks. You love being outside and I love seeing you look around as we walk. For the most part, you are curious during our walks. Sometimes you will clutch at your Dad or I while you are in your carrier, scared. It isn't necessarily because you heard something, you are just scared at that moment and we talk you through it, patting your rump and talking to you. You slowly relax and we continue on the walk.
For the most part, you seem happy at home. You smile a lot, laugh, and giggle. We are so thankful for this. This is not what we were expecting after our court trip in December. You can go from laughing one moment to be so angry your whole body tenses, the look on your face is just one of pure anger, and the sound you make is one of frustration. This does not last long, but does occur a couple of times a day and then you go back to your laughing, happy self.
Yesterday you met your dog, Joey. You screamed for the first hour and a half he was home. Not only did you scream, but you clung to your Dad in the carrier, even when you couldn't see Joey. Joey rocked. He just walked in and found a spot to lie down. In the past 24 hours you are okay with Joey if he:
- is lying down at least 5 feet from you.
-is in a different room.
-is sitting at the foot of the high chair. You enjoy looking down at him.
-lying down and you are moving towards him. You do not like it if he moves and towards you, but away is okay.
You seemed okay yesterday when you realized Joey eats Cheerios as well. You have "petted" Joey a couple of times and both of you seem okay with this. Okay, your lightning quick hands jetted out and grabbed a handful of fur and Joey just laid there.
Here you are trying to climb your Dad, while at the same time leaning over to see Joey.
You finally decided mashed potatoes are good. After eating your potatoes, you saw the tip off for the Ohio State v. Syracuse game. You didn't see a lot of this game, but you saw a bit.
Joey got smart, really fast. He learned last night to leave the room when you start crying. He was in the room when I started trying to get you to fall asleep, but left when the crying started (your crying, not mine). He looked back in when the screaming started, you not me, but decided it was safer elsewhere in the house.
This morning's walk outfits.
Watching preseason baseball with Dad. There is a Paul Konerko jersey shirt under that bib.
Love,
Mom
