Happy Birthday!

So today is April 1st, what's the significance, not only is it April Fool's Day, but it's Oliver's birthday (also known as Monkey).  My number one fur baby turned 7 today, that's 49 in people years.  Since the arrival of L I can tell that he doesn't feel as special as he used too.  He doesn't sleep with us anymore, he always slept at the foot of our bed.  I feel terrible but the baby is taking up so much of our time.  I try to make special moments with him.  Like when I get out of the shower he is always waiting on the toilet so that he can get combed, he loves getting brushed.  I give him treats whenever I can, which is not good as he now thinks that whenever I go to the kitchen he is going to get a treat.  Like Pavlov's dogs, he's waiting on the counter top.  But he's still my baby, albeit the fur baby and I love him.  Not that he understands but I do tell him that the baby will eventually become another pair of hands to pet him and feed him with. 

 

 

Happy Birthday Monkey!!

On another note, today was S's first day back at work and I think I did pretty well on my own.  It was tough getting up, I so wanted to sleep in some more, but L needed a diaper change and to be feed.  After that, the day was fine.  I was nervous about the time it would take to shower and how to keep him occupied.  On past days I could get a shower in, but he'd always start crying before I could dry my hair.  But today he was great.  I fed him, changed him, put him in the bouncer and he dozed off.  I was even able to change the bed and do some laundry.  We'll have to see if tomorrow goes as well as today.
