If I'd have known a registered pup was this worry-free, I'd have had one long ago. Jasmine has quickly become part of the family. Even the feline royalty of the house, Tinkerbelle, has not only accepted her presence but is enjoying the energetic new playmate. The girls enjoy going outside with Jasmine; they go out much more often since I have to go outside with the puppy anyhow. Claudia thinks it's hilarious when Jasmine does 2. I don't know if Jasmine's housetrained faster because of Claudia's cheers when she does her business outside or in spite of it, but there's a party every time anyway. I suspect this is partly due to the cheers I give Nadine for using the potty...Claudia is a great help with that as well. I'm still amazed Claudia hasn't "explored" the cat box yet...all I had to do was tell Nadine the cat poopied in there and it became funny to see mommy clean it out. She laughs and tells me I've got cat poopie on my hands...
Nadine loves her new fingerpaints from Aunt Sonia. In a stunning role reversal, Claudia doesn't like the feel of them on her fingers and cries for wipes. I swear those two switch bodies sometimes. Nadine's supposed to be Mr. Monk, not Claudia. New storybooks are always a welcome addition. We bought a cheap bookshelf for them (knowing they are going to end up demolishing it), and that really thrilled Nadine. She loves having a special place for her books.
All in all around here, life just goes on. I'm in the middle of midterms and of course Dean has 2 classes as well, so things are crazy hectic. The most relaxing thing I have right now is 2 wonderful girls and a truly fantastic puppy playing in the yard together.
Did I mention my husband and my girls are wonderful?
