One week home: all about Brent and the cats
Sorry to lump Brent in with the cats, but I don't know much to say about either, so they have to share a post.
Brent is a great father. He's doing so well and his patience keeps me in check just as much as he keeps Andrei in check. He's always the one doing fun dad stuff and roughhousing being boys. Andrei gets mad that he has to go to work so much, but a concrete schedule will help with that. Yesterday we introduced the concept that when the little hand points here, then papa will be home. Then Andrei gets up every five minutes and looks at the clock to see if it has moved.
Andrei has taken over feeding the cats, and is learning their names.
Larry still has not showed his face, except for two hissy incidents, so now when Andrei talks about him he makes a hissy face too. He also has stuffed all the blankets under his bed because he's afraid that Larry will try to hide out under there. Andrei does want to make friends, though, because whenever he sees Larry scurry from under one hiding place to another, Andrei runs after him and tries to feed him and call him back. I'm sure they'll become friends eventually. Larry comes out after Andrei is in bed and just mews and mews and is probably just complaining about this darn kid who is annoying him.
Beaver is still tolerating, and Andrei likes to police him away from the Christmas tree and Larry's food dish. He pets him and carries him around and I tell him to put Beaver down but Beaver only complains a little.
Andrei says that Beaver is all of our cat, but Larry is his only, so hopefully the'll all get along soon enough.
Now everyone's awake so it's time to say Merry Christmas to all of you and have a great day!
