After having Hans and Rachel and then my family in town, I'm not used to the quietness of my own home. But today, quietness returned. By 6am, my family was on their way back to Fort Lauderdale and JB was on his way back into work. It was just me and the dog, who despite all his antics, is a very quiet little guy. He rarely ever barks.
Speaking of the dog, we have successfully trained him to ring a bell when he wants to go out! We've had the bell on the door for months now with no sign of him "getting it." But just this last week, he has realized that ringing the bell = going outside. This means he sometimes rings the bell 4-5 times an hour. For now, we take him out every time he rings the bell; however, he is quickly realizing that we aren't letting him "play" outside so that it isn't as much fun as he thinks it is going to be. The bell ringing is becoming less frequent. He does use the bathroom each time, but sometimes, the result is quite pitiful proving that he was merely bored and not in need of a bathroom break.
We also bought a HUGE kennel off Craig's list for $40.00. We plan to take his current kennel to Fort Lauderdale in December and leave it there and use this big kennel here when we are gone. It's fantastic.
JB plans to get off around 3pm, and we are planning to go get a Christmas tree. I was debating not getting one at all, but I think I have decided to get a tree. I'd like to get a small tabletop tree so as to not fight the dog off it constantly, but John is thinking a real sized one will be nicer. We'll see who wins this evening when we go to pick one out!

Hello Wendi,
I would say to enjoy the peace and quiet for soon you will have a little one and the quiet will not always be there. Little boys are so sweet. I have two boys and three girls. Congratulations on your mircale. Someday you find yourself gazing into his beautiful eyes and falling head over heels in love with this precious bundle of joy and blessing. One word of advice, stock up on non persihables before he arrives like diapers, wipes, desitin, paper towels, dish soap, bar soap, baby shampoo and baby soap, cotton diapers for burping and other such items that will make you happy and comfortable during those days and nights when you are running on sleep deprived mode. I would say buy a really nice rocking chair as you and your babies will more than likely love to snuggle close and rock to sleep.
Good luck with the tree. My cat never seemed to understand that marking a Christmas tree is very different than marking the trees outside. :-(
Yeah.
We have a prelit fake tree now.
