Termite tornado

Oh, boy, this baby's fast! Jensen is officially walking, all by himself, ALL THE TIME. I don't know where this little energizer gets his fuel, but he will go and go until he simply cannot do anymore.

Everyone is back to work now-Amy's been at school for a whole week already, and today was Michael's first day back at the office, and therefore, my first day of having the termite to myself in quite some time.

Whew...and it's only noon!

He finally quit running and is down for a nap. It's a little later than usual, so I'm hoping for a longer stretch of quiet.

He is also learning today...it is important to us that he learns to communicate with the animals so he doesn't hurt them and doesn't get hurt. Today he pushed Sydney a little too far, and she hissed at him. He is a smart boy and backed off. Okay, so there were about 20 seconds of crying for being scared, but ultimately, that is a good thing. He was able to understand she had had enough, and he listened to her, so she didn't feel that she needed to go further than her warning. In a house with 5 cats, he has done really well and only gotten scratched lightly a couple of times, and even that was accidentally done in the midst of playing.

So, now everyone is calm, and the furry ones are doped up on catnip (thought I'd mellow them out for naptime) and baby's sleeping.

Hhmmm, perhaps Momma should nap, too?
