Jim is also happy to have gained a snuggle buddy. This is what I found the other night. So much for keeping Josie off the furniture. Have you met my husband, "Softie"?
I suppose it's hard to resist.
He also likes to snuggle with Eve. She likes it, too.
We bought Josie a backpack with the goal of putting weights in it to make her walks more tiring. She looks cute, no? We're also going to start phase 2 of dog training this month. Josie needs a little more help. Or maybe it's us that need the training. We're going to have one fine dog pretty soon.
Eve is currently crying in the other room. Jim is probably ready to cry. They had a tough weekend together. Jim gets (understandably) frustrated with Eve because she has little patience and is pretty clingy. It's made worse because to communicate displeasure she just cries and cries. Then she gets so worked up that she's lost it and you can't quickly calm her down. She pitches fits over everything. In some ways I can't blame her, because she can't tell us what she wants. But in other ways, she needs to understand that immediate gratification is not always possible. I don't want a selfish brat for a child. It's such a struggle for all of us.
Anyhow, yesterday Jim and Eve spent the afternoon together because I was out. Oh, boy. He needed space when I got home. Poor man. She was pretty hard on him. Today seems to be a better day. Well, it was a better day. She just woke up from her nap and is still groggy. I'm taking her out with me this afternoon to visit with Tracey and Iggy. Eve will be happy to see her friend Tracey again (as will I).
Not much else is going on. Eve got her haircut yesterday and was really really good. She didn't squinch up her shoulders or squint her eyes. She stayed still and smiled at the stylist. I was very proud. We have a Flu shot scheduled for Tuesday. Next trip to the neurologist and geneticist is in a week and a half. Oh, realized she can't say house any more. She pretty much just says owl and more and Da.
