I was so worried about the dogs and now I just can’t keep Victoria away from them. She has been slowly introduced to them each day, but today she had a big dose and that was still not enough. When she woke this morning, she just started her day saying and looking for the sebaka’s. Tonight when she went to bed I could hear her talking to herself and of course talking about the sebaka’s and Lucky. She says Lucky’s name really well, some trouble with Charm still. She really enjoys them though. I had to put them outside today (a lot of the day), just to give them and myself a break. They are very tolerant to say the least. Especially Charm, he is just the right size for her. She loves for them to kiss her and really it is kind of gross. I am working on getting her to tone down her requests for kisses from them.
Coming home, the plane ride was really just fine. She was not afraid at all, just got a little cranky. I totally understand that because so did I. I still don’t feel caught up on my sleep yet and am ashamed to report, finally did the last of the unpacking tonight.
She adores her brother! I mean adores him! And he adores her just the same! He can’t stand for her to be upset or denied anything….ugh! I have been reminding him a lot today that she needs limits, everything can’t be her way, she is exploring, everything is new, etc….. He is understanding. I am really proud of him and the adoration he shows her.
Wednesday, when we arrived home, it was a very long day for us. Tori had a difficult time that night sleeping, which means we all did. You would think she would have been exhausted and that would have worked in her favor…apparently not. Also, Thursday night she fell asleep, but woke in the middle of the night and was up for about 2 hours…..ugh! I told Dylan the only thing I was interested in for Mother’s Day was a good nights sleep. Last night I did get that. It went really well and tonight (so far) even better, she is tired and snoring away. Yep, she has a little snore going on! Also, she bites her nails…hmmmmm…
Welcome home!! I love the picture of the big doggie kiss :). Our biggest concern is about how our dog will tollerate having a toddler in the house. It looks like Lucky and Charm are really happy about the new family situation. Is one of your dogs a wirehaired dachshund? It sort of looks like it from the pictures.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day Jen! Blake is not real fond of our sebaka. We are still working on that. Sounds like Dylan is spoiling her a lot. I had to have the same talk with Brady and Madison. They do not like for us to tell Blake no to anything. Good luck getting your routine back on track. We'll chat soon!
ReplyDeleteHahaha the kissing wouldn't be so gross if dogs didn't french kiss -- but it looks like they really like her!! Yea!!
