Some Days... Sigh!

There are just some days where we need a little more patience than others.  We are not completely sure that Bubeaner does not a special super power of multiplying himself.  Today it felt like he had clones helping him get into everything.  He was everywhere.  It started with Bubeaner breaking his cup of oatmeal by dropping it on the floor.  There was oatmeal everywhere.  Sandy thought it was Christmas time.  Sigh.  He then proceeded to pat the remaining oatmeal from his bib onto his head and hair.  Sigh!

And suddenly Bubeaner has a new found fascination with Sandy's water and food bowls.  Today he attempted to drink from her bowl several times in the morning.  He first tried scooping it up with his spoon.  Then he attempted it by dipping two of his sippy cups into the water.  The most comical one was where he found a large straw and headed straight towards the bowl.  This one would have worked had Momma not stopped him just (barely) in time.  Sigh.

And as Momma was cleaning up the splashed water and his now dirty sippy cups, Bubeaner decided it would be a good idea to relax for a little while in Sandy's bed.  Thankfully, Sandy is not the jealous type.  Bito Pepe would have had a heart attack had he seen him. And all this happened before 9a! Sigh.

Momma was more than ready to hand him off to Meme'Licia and head off to the church group.  It was so relaxing to have those 3 hours with not having to worry about where he was, what he was getting into, and what he was attempting to eat.  In the mean time, Bubeaner took a nice stroll with Meme'Licia zapping some of his energy and enjoyed a good nap during the morning thunderstorms.  He must have been exhausted because the loud thunder and pounding rain did not wake him.

Bubeaner was awake and refreshed when Momma returned.  And Momma was ready for round two.  We played some before enjoying a good lunch.  We are still concerned about portion control, but just following his lead making sure not to force him to eat.  We stop when he wants to stop.  He's diet consists of a lot of fruit.  He's still not doing so well with eating his veggies, but we are trying to offer them to him more often.

In the afternoon he took a nice long nap.  He must have still been tired from all that activity in the morning.  When he woke up he entertained us with his rendition of the ABC song.  Only the "C, D, P" can really be heard clearly.  But he has the tune down.  He'll probably be getting it in no time.


He was still awake when Dad got home.  And surprisingly still had enough energy for a round of rough-housing with Dad.  He was, however, drooping by the time aunt Pau visited.  So she did the bedtime routine reading him his bedtime story and saying his prayers. 

As to Sandy, so far no obvious problems.  She's sad and gloomy and suddenly won't poop, but we are still waiting per her vet.  We are trying not to worry.  But thankfully, she is still eating.  That has to be good news.
