Jun 5
Slept in until 6 this morning, and it felt good!
Martyn was happy and just a lot of fun for me today. We had a good nap around 9:30 until 12:30! It was warm out, but not super bright and sunny all day. I took Martyn out in the yard and laid him on the blanket under the tree, so he wasn't in the sun when it came out from behind the clouds. I kept having to move the blanket under the tree a little more. I decided to fill the kiddie pool up for Sheba, because she was pretty hot. She pretty much hung out under the tree all afternoon.
Sheba seems to be snitching anything and everything that gets left on or near the back fence by the park...or people are tossing things over I don't know. But today she had a knit cap, that she was so proud of. She was running all around the back yard, and tossing it into the air...she's also loving the part of the yard that hasn't been mowed yet, it makes her feel like jungle dog, or something. I brought Martyn out to say hello to her, and as I was squatting with him in the grass, letting him stand barefooted on the grass (which he really likes) Sheba runs over to the grass pile on the side of the yard, and digs a hole in it, throws the hat in, and noses the hole over and covers up her hat. It was like she was showing me where her special prizes were buried, really cute.
Martyn really likes watching Sheba. He likes dogs in general it seems. All day today, he would catch sight of the dog calender we have up in the dining room, with a picture this month of a dog that looks very much like Sheba, and just give it a BIG smile and chatter. It was so cute!
He's also sitting up really well, on his own. He can even balance himself when he starts to topple, sometimes. Not every time. It's his new big boy trick....which makes me smile.
I just love spending time with Martyn, even if I can't get much done around the house during the day. I just love spending time with him. I have a short weekend, he makes it worth it to me, to go to work all week just to be able to spend the weekend with him. He makes me laugh, and I love watching him grow.
What a blessing he is!
Eli was really happy when he got home, for the same reason. He said as soon as he saw Martyn when he walked in the door, and Martyn was laughing at me because I was playing "hey" with him, that just made Eli's day and he was happy. I like that, too.
He only has a little while to spend with Martyn in the evenings that he has to work. So I usually try to let him spend as much time with Martyn as possible before bedtime at 8. Tonight when I was putting Martyn to bed, it started Thundering. Martyn was completely indifferent, Sheba however was freaked out. She almost jumped on the bed with us.
Right now, she is laying on the couch with Eli, still freaked out but seems comforted somewhat. Silly dog.
