The kids absolutely love their new puppy and want to hold her all the time. She sleeps alot right now so she's quite happy to snuggle up on their laps.

Max's turn now. He gets so happy and smiles so big when it's his turn to hold her.


Hailey and Max both love when she falls asleep on them.

We put the puppy in her cage before we went to bed last night. She cried for a few minutes but soon fell asleep in her bed. She slept until about 2am when she woke us all up crying very loudly. I got up to take her potty and hold her for a little bit. She was very happy to see me and wagged her tail. After a few minutes I put her back into her cage. She layed in her bed crying again. I opened the door of the cage and pet her while she layed in her bed. She quieted down and fell asleep but as soon as I stopped petting her and walked away, she woke up crying again. She did this until 3am, waking Hailey and Jack up. She sure gets loud when she cries. The kids think it's funny. Max said "Do our puppy knows how to sing?" It does sound like it. As soon as the kids woke up this morning, they both wanted to hold the puppy. I had to set the timer so I didn't have to listen to any fighting over who got to hold her the longest. The puppy sure has a great personality. She is so happy and playful. She loves to chase the kids around when they run. It's so funny when she runs and crawls right under Jack while he's crawling along on the floor. She'll just come running through under his belly and out under his arms. She also loves to follow me all around the house. We have to be careful not to step on her cause she likes to get under our feet and she is so tiny. Max got out all his matchbox cars to play with and lined them up at the end of the living room, like he usually does. Only this time, Jack came crawling over and kept trying to get them. Max called me over saying "Mommy, Jack's gettin my cars! He's gonna choke!" I picked Jack up and moved him back over to the middle of the living room and gave him a car that was safe to chew on. But it wasn't long before he was making his way back over to get Max's cars. Max again called me over to come get him. He then said to me "He keeps movin, Mommy!" (I guess he's still not used to Jack being able to move around now. And this was the first time Jack has tried getting something Max was playing with. Max sure did have a surprised look on his face as he watched Jack slowly make it over to his cars. But not only does he just not want Jack to mess his cars up, he does really think that Jack could choke on them. I have taught him to make sure he keeps his toys with small pieces or anything not safe to chew on away from Jack. He knows he has to play away from Jack with them and is very good about it.) I helped Max move all his cars to the hallway and made a "gate" with the kids chairs to block Jack from getting through. Max was happy to be in a spot that Jack couldn't mess his cars and said "Cause we don't want Jack to choke. No we don't." Hailey was having a rough day today and had to go to the "naughty spot" three times, very unusual for her. (I think she just didn't get enough sleep last night. It took her longer to fall asleep from being excited about the puppy and then the puppy ended up waking her in the middle of the night too which she again had a hard time falling back asleep.) Later this evening, she started acting very sweet and nice. She came up to us and said "I'm sorry for the naughty things I did today." Then she gave Daddy and I each a hug and a kiss and said "I love you". Her and Max sat at the table drawing and coloring with crayons. After showing me the picture she had made, she went over to Max who was still drawing at the table. She pointed to his picture and said "Wow, did you make this?" That is so cool!" Max replied "It is?" Then she said "You are so big." And Max said "Wah, I am." Then she said "I love you Max. Sorry for being naughty to you today." Max replied "Haywee, you are nice. I wuv you and I wike you." Even though we always have the kids say they are sorry before they can get up out of the "naughty spot", we thought it was very nice that she still decided all on her own to come tell us all she was sorry when she truly meant it. Bruce and I both looked at each other very surprised because it was a few hours after she had even gotten in trouble. Once we got the kids tucked in bed, Bruce and I sat on the floor and played with the puppy. She likes chasing her toys as we drag them along the floor. Then we took turns holding her while we watched some TV. She ended up falling asleep on Bruce's lap.
