We survived the first few days of school!! Between adding a pup to the family and trying
to get back on track, I will admit I was completely overwhelmed. I’m not sure why – I think it was just
getting back into a routine and on a schedule.
The start time for A’s school changed and he actually leaves for work
nearly an hour later. This means he’s
around longer in the morning and even takes W to school a few times a week –
it’s been a huge help and a big relief.
On the downside, he gets home an hour later.
Charlie is great and we’re really enjoying getting to know
him. He’s still a puppy and we
frequently find things around the house that he’s decided to chew up – decorations,
toys, board books, pencils. On Friday, I
came home from work and my mom had to let me know that he chewed one of my
favorite pairs of shoes. Not going to
lie, I was a bit devastated. I’m very
attached to my shoes and clothes. This
has been an adjustment – Addie never chewed anything. We’ve been closing doors and trying to crate
Charlie when we’re not home, but he’s figured out how to open his crate. I know most puppies chew things and we’ll
work through it – I think I’ve spent my entire pay check on chew toys. 😉
We’re also working on potty training – another
challenge. Again, Addie was super easy
in this department and picked up on going potty outside right away. This guy goes outside BUT also goes
inside. He doesn’t tell us when he has
to go and doesn’t hold his potty during the day. Thankfully, he usually makes it to the potty
pads. He’s a smart boy so hopefully he
gets it soon.
