Nana had no idea how wonderful of a gift she gave us a couple of years ago when she got Matt the Bissell SpotBot. Boy has it made my life SOOOOO much easier the last 2 weeks. The puppy and daddy had a bit of a rough day today. I came home to 8 little piles of puppy poo, but thanks to our handy dandy SpotBot, all I had to do was pick up the poo, fill up the cleaner, sit on a spot, push start and wait for it to finish and then move it to the next spot. Whew! That could have been much more painful. :) Thank you Nana!
Other than the rough day today, Haledunia has been doing great! I'm wondering if we've been overfeeding him the last couple of days or something. He seems to be better tonight, so who knows... We'll see how tomorrow goes. Hopefully I come home from work to clean carpet! Interesting tidbit that I learned last week... Apparently Dunia really is a TOY poodle. I thought maybe Ashli's family was just mistaken, but no.. he's just a BIG toy poodle. His dad is only 7 lbs and his mom is smaller than that. He and his brother, however, are already over 4.5lbs each and they are not quite 12 weeks old! We'll see if they top off or just end up as bigger dogs than expected. :)
Other random thoughts....
- Ella is finally talking more! Her teacher, Miss Amber, told me today that she's been talking up a storm at school this week. She's usually really quiet, but apparently has opened up a bit this week. :)
- Owen is getting better about school drop off... Thankfully, Ella's teachers have been great and have let him stay in her class when I drop them off. He loves staying there with her and then they take him to his class a little later. It's so much easier on all of us, so thank you Miss Amber and Miss Melinda!! :)
- Owen is staying home with us 2 days a week now. His school now offers part-time enrollment, so we switched him to 3-days a week and he stays home with us on the other 2 days. We're trying to keep some structure and do some "home school" while he's here. We're still figuring it out, but think we're on the right path... if we could just get him to take a nap, we'd be in much better shape, but we're working on it! He loves learning, so it's been fun to work with him on his letters and numbers and coloring and puzzles and everything else. I've missed out on a lot of that part of his life, so it's fun to be more involved now! It's a bit of a challenge getting work done on those days sometimes, but so far, it hasn't been too bad. :)
- Uncle Jordan and Aunt Tammie are coming home for Christmas!! Yay!! :) We can't wait!
- Ella has been limping around all evening since I picked her up from school. It's like she doesnt want to put weight on her left leg... She doesnt really act like it hurts... but isn't using it right. I'm taking her to the doctor first thing in the morning. I'll keep you posted.
- Oh yeah! I think Ella finally has all of her canine teeth! I haven't observed terribly closely, but the last couple of times we've brushed her teeth she's let me take a brief look and I think they are all there! Now for the 2-year molars and we'll be through all that! woo hoo!
