Normal?

Not much to share this week. We are still working on our nights. I gave Mommy one good night on Saturday which she got really excited about, but I think I was just that tired from the whole week that it finally caught up with me. Sunday night I was up again.... not as long, but I just can't go all night without making sure she is still in the next room.

We have went about our normal routine. "Normal" - that is the word we are trying to establish yet again. We talk to Daddy on web cam and I talk about him at work with the airplanes and point at a map on the wall that Mommy uses to help me figure all this out. I have taken to carrying ALL my loveys' everywhere with me. Mommy still makes me keep them out of public places (store), but I take them all to daycare everyday and always in the car with me. You see, I have a separate lovey at school (a duck). I take my Daddy everywhere, and then I have a rabbit lovey and a blankie at home. Well, Ms. Amber has given them their own special chair at daycare as I refuse to part with a single one right now.

**Two parts to the loveys... She is having some emotional separation issues so give her what she needs AND the girl is a toddler. GIVE HER WHAT SHE NEEDS ;-)

I have been very good at being Independent and it causes a few discrepancies between my Mommy and me. Sometimes I win. Mostly she wins. I have become very powerful with "no" and "mine" over the last 2 weeks. Often I say no when I mean yes, but I love that word! I can't wait to see you all and then you can see for yourselves how much I can tell you what to do! haha.

We took some time to BBQ with some friends who just had a new baby. I was so excited about the baby and a littel jealous when Mommy decided to hold her. She is very small (just over 6 pounds) and I did a great job holding her myself. She was a little fussy but I told her "iii o-k baby. iii o-k." as I patted her little tummy.

We also visited the zoo. Yep, best toddler past time in the world. While having a little snack and waiting for the lady to let the Giraffes out (she never did while we were there), we sat outside the Lion pen. He's been a little cranky lately. The Lady Lion had cubs and she hasn't been aloud out in the pen with him for some time now. He roars a lot more now. Well, it doesn't really sound like a ROAR, but here's my best impersonation!

Love till next week! x

Sorry to hear that the unrest continues at your place. Saying prayers for Miss Madelyn that 'normalcy' can return before Daddy does and you can all get some rest. GREAT growling! Maybe Maddy should be a lion for Halloween!?
