It's magical

Little Guy is IN LOVE with our two dogs. He's not just curious or intrigued by them; he is fascinated and infatuated with them. Full meltdowns can be cured by a glance at Olive and giggles erupt every time he sees Winston. Today Olive played mother hen and sat next to Little Guy while he played, just keeping an eye out on everything. Little Guy is practicing "gentle", something I am sure Olive and Winston will welcome. Little Guy's usual approach to harassing petting the dogs is to grab a handful of fur, lean forward, and put an open mouth right on their backs, filling his mouth with dog hair while simultaneously pulling hair out.

He's getting to be Mr. Independent when it comes to play time.  He's happy to just hang out with his toy bucket, discovering new noises and tricks.  I love to watch him and see the excitement in his face when a ball rolls or a rattle clanks.  How cool is it that everyday even the smallest of things is something completely new to him, and he is SO eager to see it all.  The novelty he sees in the mundane wears off on me, and it makes every day seem magical.
